RelayDesk vs Alertsify: Execution Built On Your Rules, Not a Marketplace Mirror

Broker Connection: Direct OAuth vs. Third-Party Aggregation

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between RelayDesk and Alertsify?

Alertsify is a copy trading marketplace: you follow a single lead trader and your account mirrors their entries and exits through a third-party brokerage connection. RelayDesk executes your own strategy directly against your broker via OAuth, whether that's your own TradingView signals, RelayDesk-provided signals, or call-outs from a trading community you follow, with Signal-Managed Exits that run independently of any other trader's orders.

Does Alertsify guarantee my position will close?

No. Alertsify mirrors the lead trader's close order, and per its own terms of service, the platform does not automatically liquidate a position if that close order fails to transmit. RelayDesk's exit management runs independently against your broker, so it is not waiting on another party's order to close your position.

How does RelayDesk connect to my broker compared to Alertsify?

RelayDesk uses a direct OAuth connection to each broker with trade-only scope. Alertsify routes orders through a third-party brokerage-aggregation service, per its own terms of service, which sits between your account and your broker.

Can I use my own TradingView signals with RelayDesk instead of copying another trader?

Yes. RelayDesk is built around your own strategy: your TradingView or webhook signals, RelayDesk-provided signals, or trades you follow from a community you're part of, all on the same execution and risk-management layer. Alertsify's model is built around mirroring a single lead trader instead.

Does Alertsify offer paper trading?

Yes, but only on Alertsify's PRO tier. RelayDesk includes paper trading on every plan.

How does pricing compare between RelayDesk and Alertsify?

RelayDesk uses flat monthly tiers with a free tier and a 30-day trial, with no per-signal fees. Alertsify charges a platform fee plus separate paid subscriptions to individual lead traders, under a no-refund policy.

Can I migrate my Alertsify setup to RelayDesk?

Yes. RelayDesk connects to your broker directly, so migrating means connecting via OAuth and pointing your TradingView alerts, RelayDesk signals, or community call-outs at RelayDesk instead of mirroring a lead trader. Most traders are live the same day.

How long does switching from Alertsify take?

Most users migrate in under an hour: connect your broker, point your alerts at RelayDesk, and run a test signal. A free trial lets you validate execution side-by-side before fully cutting over.
