The Position Reconciler is a built-in safeguard that monitors every follower account in your copy group and automatically exits any position that didn't originate from the leader.

You might need this article if:

The Position Reconciler runs in the background whenever your broker reports a fill on a follower account. Each time a fill event occurs, it checks whether the follower's resulting position matches the leader's current direction and symbol.

If the positions match: No action is taken. Replication continues as normal.

If a mismatch is detected: The reconciler treats this as a breach. It immediately exits the follower's mismatched position to remove the unintended exposure. This exit is automatic — no manual action is required.

Note: The reconciler exit does register as a realized loss at the broker level. Because execution happens within split seconds of the mismatch being detected, the resulting amount is negligible relative to typical account sizes — but it will appear in your trade history.

The reconciler flags a mismatch when:

The Position Reconciler is enabled by default when you create a new copy group. You do not need to configure it to receive protection — it is active from the moment the group is live.

This default protects against the most common sources of unintended exposure: manual trades on a follower account, accidental hedges, and orphan positions left over from a previous session.

Controls whether the reconciler monitors your follower accounts. When enabled, any mismatched position is exited automatically. When disabled, follower accounts can hold positions independently without Tradecopia intervening.

Default: Enabled. Leave this on unless you have a deliberate reason to allow independent trading on your follower accounts — disabling it places full responsibility for position integrity on you.

A secondary option that works alongside the Position Reconciler. When enabled, the reconciler does not just exit the mismatched position — it also stops replication entirely for that follower account after the breach is resolved.

This prevents the follower from being immediately re-entered into a new copy position after the breach exit. The expectation is that you will investigate what caused the breach and re-enable replication manually when you're ready to continue.

Default: Disabled.

When Disable Replication on Breach is active and the reconciler halts replication, a distinct icon — informally called the monster icon — appears next to the replication toggle for the affected follower. This icon distinguishes a system-triggered stop from one you made manually.

Hovering over the icon shows a tooltip confirming that replication was halted due to a detected breach. This is important context if you return to the app and see replication is off without remembering disabling it.

To resume replication after a breach halt: investigate what triggered the mismatch, resolve the underlying cause, then manually re-enable replication for that follower.

If you intentionally want a follower account to trade independently alongside copy trading — for example, to run a personal strategy on a follower account at the same time — you can disable the Position Reconciler for that copy group.

This is a valid use case, but carry the full risk of unmanaged position divergence. Any positions that accumulate on the follower account outside the copy group will not be monitored or exited by Tradecopia.

If your goal is to pause copying on one follower selectively while keeping others active, a better approach is to disable the replication toggle for that specific follower rather than turning off the reconciler for the whole group.
