Copy Trading Policy

Learn how copy trading is supported at PropShopTrader, who is responsible for copier activity, and how compliance reviews copier related discrepancies.

PropShopTrader allows traders to use copy trading software and trade replication tools to manage multiple accounts.

However, traders remain fully responsible for all trading activity, positions, orders, and risk management across every account connected to a copy trading setup.

Who is Responsible for Copy Trading Activity?

When using a trade copier, the trader is responsible for:

• Copier configuration and account mapping

• Monitoring copied positions and orders

• Verifying that trades are executed as intended

• Managing open positions and risk

• Ensuring compliance with all PropShopTrader trading rules

PropShopTrader does not manage, monitor, or control individual copier configurations.

What Happens if a Copier Experiences Issues?

Like any third party software, copy trading tools may occasionally experience:

• Synchronization delays

• Missed trades

• Duplicate orders

• Partial fills

• Position mismatches

• Connection interruptions

• Software or hardware related issues

Traders should regularly monitor all accounts to ensure positions remain synchronized and are being managed correctly.

How Does Compliance Review Copier Related Activity?

If a trader believes a copier issue contributed to unusual account activity, the matter may be reviewed by our Compliance Team.

During a review, we may consider:

• Trade activity

• Account behavior

• Platform logs

• Available technical information

Each case is reviewed individually based on the information available at the time.

Does Using a Copier Exempt Me From Trading Rules?

No.

All account rules, risk limits, benchmark requirements, drawdown rules, MAE policies, and prohibited trading practices continue to apply when using a copier.

Traders are responsible for ensuring that copier activity remains compliant with all PropShopTrader policies.

Best Practices

To reduce the likelihood of copier related issues, we recommend:

• Regularly reviewing copier settings

• Monitoring all connected accounts during trading sessions

• Confirming positions have opened and closed correctly

• Maintaining a stable internet connection

• Reporting suspected technical issues as soon as possible

As with any trading tool, traders should understand how their copier operates before using it on active accounts.

If you believe an issue originated from your copy trading software, you should first contact your copier provider directly for troubleshooting assistance, logs, configuration reviews, and technical support. Since PropShopTrader does not develop, manage, or control third party copier software, we are unable to diagnose or resolve copier specific issues.

Our team may review the resulting account activity and any available evidence, but technical support for the copier itself must be handled by the copier provider.
