Where PickMyTrade is the better fit
- You trade futures. StockAutoTrader does not support futures.
- You want the lowest yearly cost for a single plan: $500/year is less than twelve months of Starter at $49.
- Your broker is one PickMyTrade supports and StockAutoTrader does not.
Where StockAutoTrader is the better fit
- You trade US stocks on Tradier or Tastytrade, or crypto spot on Coinbase.
- You want dollar-based sizing that divides a cap by price, with fractional crypto sizes.
- You want the side fixed by the URL, and empty alerts that fall back to the bot's saved settings.
- You want an AI news-signal engine running beside your own TradingView alerts.
Moving an alert over
Create a bot for the ticker, then use its buy URL on your entry alert and its sell URL on your exit alert. Replace the old message with price, optional quantity, and a signal_id. See the broker pages for Tradier, Tastytrade, and Coinbase for exact examples.
