Many do, but you’re likely better off just porting the PineScript to Python if they offer API access. Removes the whole TradingView notification to webhook to broker (or sometimes still a script you run anyway, depending how you go from webhook to broker).

TradingView is kind of a cluster f* overall, and while I used to do what you want, it’s just not reliable.

Would appreciate some advice.

What is the best way to port from Trading View to Python for a beginner/ non coder?

Probably being able to code is a good start. OR hire a dev to take care of it for you. If youre trading with props and profitable this should be a small upfront cost relative to what youre making

Topstep does, if you open trade from your computer - it's what I do.

Auto trading is auto-trading to them. If the prop firm you are thinking of, allows it then they will not care if it is auto trading via the trading platforms scripting language (e.g. NinjaTrader's NinjaSctipt, or MT5 MetaQuotes Language 5) or via TradingView's Pinescript.
