What Tradecopia does

Tradecopia monitors your leader account for executed trades and sends matching order instructions to your follower accounts in real time. When you place a trade on your leader, Tradecopia replicates it across all connected follower accounts — at the same time, on the same instrument, in the correct size.

Tradecopia replicates the order instruction. Your broker handles execution — fill price, slippage, and order processing are determined by each broker independently.

Tradecopia is built for futures trading and multi-account prop trading workflows. It does not support equities, forex, crypto, or CFDs.

Supported brokers

Tradecopia connects to four brokers:

  • Tradovate

  • NinjaTrader

  • TopStepX

  • Rithmic

You can mix brokers within a copy group — your leader and followers do not need to be on the same broker.

Who uses Tradecopia

  • Prop-firm traders managing multiple funded accounts simultaneously

  • Retail traders copying trades across personal accounts on different brokers

  • Professional traders distributing trades to client or managed accounts

  • Developers integrating trade automation programmatically

Available plans

Tradecopia is available in three plans:

  • Pro — desktop application that runs on your local machine

  • Pro+ Lite — cloud-hosted dedicated instance accessible from any browser including mobile. Your environment is fully isolated — Pro+ Lite is not a shared or multi-tenant copier. Resource-efficient infrastructure keeps the price point lower than Pro+.

  • Pro+ — cloud-hosted dedicated instance, accessible from any browser including mobile

All three plans support all four brokers and replicate trades identically. The primary difference is where the software runs — your machine or Tradecopia's infrastructure.

See What's the difference between Tradecopia Pro, Pro+ Lite, and Pro+? for a full side-by-side comparison, or What is Tradecopia Pro+ and What is Tradecopia Pro+ Lite for cloud-specific details.
