Tradecopia replicates trades by listening to live events from your broker in real time. If the app was not running and connected at the moment a trade was placed on the leader account, that trade was not seen and cannot be replicated retroactively.

You might be experiencing this if:

Tradecopia does not poll your broker for past orders or reconcile its history against the broker's trade log. It captures events as they happen — a fill event on the leader triggers replication to all followers. If Tradecopia was offline when that event occurred, no record of it exists in the replication engine, and there is no mechanism to replay it after the fact.

If followers missed a trade because the app was offline, the follower positions must be manually reconciled.

Update applied during an active session — Tradecopia showed an update prompt and you clicked to apply it while trading was in progress. Updates do not run automatically — but if you click the update button during an active session, the app restarts and the broker connection must re-establish. Any trades placed on the leader during that restart window were missed. Apply updates before market open or after market close, not during an active session.

App closed before the session started — Tradecopia was not running when the leader account began trading. P&L visible after opening the app does not mean replication was active earlier in the session.

Session started before app was opened — Trades were placed via the broker platform directly before Tradecopia was launched. The app cannot retroactively replicate trades placed while it was not running.

App appeared open but was still reconnecting — The Tradecopia window was visible but the broker connection had not yet re-established after a restart. The connection indicator in the app shows when the broker link is active — trades placed before the green connected status appears are not captured.

Note: These scenarios apply to Pro desktop. On Pro+ Lite and Pro+, the copier runs on Tradecopia's infrastructure — it cannot be closed by you, and cloud updates are only deployed outside of market hours so your session will never be interrupted by an update. If you are on a cloud plan and follower trades are being missed, contact the Tradecopia support team — this indicates a server-side connection issue rather than a local app state problem.

After reconnecting, Tradecopia syncs daily P&L directly from the broker. P&L from the leader account will appear even if Tradecopia was offline during those trades.

This is one of the most common sources of confusion. P&L sync on login is not evidence that replication was active during the session. The only reliable indicator is the broker connection status shown in the app at the time trades were placed.

If you cannot identify the cause, contact the Tradecopia support team with the affected account, broker, and the approximate time the missed trade was placed — we can check the session log.
