The Trade Copier in Onyx allows you to place trades once and replicate them automatically across multiple accounts using a Lead and Follower model.
This feature helps maintain consistency across accounts and removes the need for manual trade replication.
What is Trade Copier?
Trade Copier allows a single Lead Account to send orders to one or more Children Accounts automatically.
When you trade from the Lead Account, those orders are copied to all assigned Children Accounts in real time.
This is ideal for:
Managing multiple funded accounts
Keeping accounts synchronized
Reducing operational errors
Speeding up execution
How to Set Up Trade Copier
To enable copying:
Select your Lead Account.
Choose one or more Children Accounts.
Save your configuration.
Confirm status in:
The Header bar
The Account Selector
Once active, all orders placed on the Lead are automatically transmitted to Followers.
Important Requirements
Follower accounts must meet the following conditions:
Equal or greater margin than the Lead
Equal or greater position size limits
If a follower does not meet these requirements, execution may be rejected.
Trading Behavior During Copy Mode
When Trade Copier is active:
You cannot manually trade from Follower accounts.
All trading must be done from the Lead account only.
This applies to:
Order Entry
DOM
Charts
Follower accounts are execution targets only.
Execution Differences
Only orders are copied, not fills.
Due to latency, liquidity, and execution timing:
Fills may occur at slightly different prices
PnL may vary between accounts
Slippage can differ
This is normal behavior.
Best Practices
Verify the correct Lead is selected
Confirm follower status before trading
Maintain identical risk profiles
Avoid switching leads mid-session
Test with small size before scaling
Summary
Trade Copier streamlines multi-account trading by:
Eliminating manual duplication
Increasing execution consistency
Reducing errors
Saving time
When used correctly, it becomes an essential scaling tool.
