Social Trader Tools: information and detailed review

Social Trader Tools is a cloud platform for MetaTrader 4 and 5 accounts. Its main piece is a copier: you trade on one account, the "lead", and it replicates every order to your other accounts, the "followers", even at different brokers. Around the copier it has a dashboard for all your accounts, equity alerts, pages for selling signals and a white label version.

We read its whole website (copier, prop firm accounts, pricing, 50 FAQs with their answers and its terms of use), the 48 Trustpilot reviews you can read without an account and the copy trading rules of eleven CFD prop firms. Its knowledge base requires signing up, so we could not read it. It appears little on Reddit: one user recommends it for MetaTrader and another finds Traders Connect simpler to configure.

Who is behind it

The company is Titanium Financial Technology, registered in Mauritius under number C1344734. Its terms are governed by English law, and its servers are in London. The same company sells the API underneath, TradeSync, to anyone who wants to build their own copier. It claims more than ten years in business and over 30,000 connected accounts.

What to know from its terms before paying:

• Its liability is limited to your last payment. If the copier fails and you lose an account, the most you get back is your last fee.
• It does not guarantee the service is always available, and can suspend or change it without notice.
• There are no refunds for what you have already paid when you cancel.
• It does not guarantee you follow your firm's rules. It asks you to check before connecting the account.

What the company itself warns about

First, three warnings Social Trader Tools gives in its FAQ, which are the key to this review:

• It does not recommend scalping. Its copier takes about 50 milliseconds, but it says that, adding the broker and distance, real execution usually takes 0.6 to 1.5 seconds or more. It sees it as suited to swing, intraday, signals and robots that do not depend on speed.
• It does not allow high frequency. If they think your activity abuses the system, they may restrict or remove your access.
• On MT5 it only works with "hedging" accounts, which allow several positions per symbol. It is not compatible with "netting" accounts, which merge everything into one position. One user with a netting account says the follower ignored the take profit for two hours; the company later blamed a close rejected by the broker.

How it works

Everything runs in the cloud: you need no VPS and do not have to keep MetaTrader open. You connect your accounts with their login and password, create a copier with one lead and as many followers as you like, and switch it on. You can copy from MT4 to MT5 and back, across brokers and currencies, and from demo to live.

• Read-only password. The lead can use the investor password; followers need the full one.
• No MetaQuotes demos. It asks you to use your broker's demos, because MetaQuotes ones have connection issues.
• Copy chains. A follower can itself be the lead for other accounts.
• Logs. An event log explains why something was not copied (copier off, symbol disabled, stop disabled) and another log shows broker errors. If you enable alerts, they arrive by email.
• From your phone. Web dashboard; there is no app.

How it sizes and what it copies

There are four ways to size each follower:

• By balance: follower balance divided by lead balance, times the lead's lot and the multiplier.
• By equity: the same, using live equity.
• Lot multiplier: the lead's lot times the number you set.
• Fixed lot: always the same.

It can also copy pending orders with their changes and cancellations, copy the stop and target exactly as the lead, let each follower use its own, or set them at a fixed distance. You can disable symbols, map different names between brokers (GOLD to XAUUSD, for example), copy trades already open when creating the copier, force the minimum lot and copy in the opposite direction.

It does not copy cTrader, TradeLocker or Match-Trader, nor Telegram signals. From TradingView it works if orders end up on a MetaTrader account, but pending orders may not show until they fill.

Equity protection

They call it Equity Monitor. There are four rule types: equity below an amount, a percentage drop, equity above an amount or a percentage gain. When triggered, you choose between sending an email, sending an email and switching off the copier, or also closing every trade on that account. It runs in the cloud around the clock.

Beyond the copier

• Account dashboard. Balance, equity, open trades, history, stats by symbol and by hour, and CSV export.
• Selling signals. A public page with your results, and free access, subscription, performance fee or a mix. The money goes straight to your Stripe or PayPal.
• White label. A copy of the platform with your logo and colours for your clients, included in every plan.

Pricing and terms

Plan	Monthly	Accounts
Standard	$20	2
Plus	$60	5
Pro	$120	10
Premium	$220	20
Rolling	$10 per account	In blocks of 20: 40 accounts, $400

Each account takes one slot, whether lead or follower. With the $20 plan you get one lead and one follower. Watch the jumps: going from 2 to 3 accounts takes you from $20 to $60 a month.

• There is no free trial. They suggest starting with the small plan.
• Monthly billing only, by card or PayPal through Paddle. No crypto or bank transfer.
• If a payment fails, they retry three times and then cancel the subscription.
• Upgrades are charged pro rata; downgrades leave credit for the next payment.

What prop firms say

Social Trader Tools connecting to your account does not mean you are allowed to use it. Its own website says it is only for use "where your prop firm permits trade copying tools and external EAs". This is what the official rules say at the CFD firms we track:

Firm	Copy trading	What you need to know
E8 Markets	Allowed	Between your own accounts, including personal ones
FundedNext	Contradictory	Its help center allows it between accounts of the same person; its terms forbid it without written authorisation
The5ers	Allowed between your accounts	Copying other traders or accounts is forbidden
FundingPips	Allowed between your accounts	Only between FundingPips accounts in your name
Fintokei	Allowed with caveats	You can copy your own trades from other firms. Reverse copying is forbidden
BrightFunded	Allowed between your accounts	Only accounts of the same person
Blue Guardian	Allowed between your accounts	Forbidden in its competitions
Funded Trader Markets	Allowed	Also from other firms or brokers, if the trades are yours
Goat Funded Trader	Almost forbidden	Only between funded accounts
Dolvero	Forbidden	Not even between Dolvero accounts
Fundex	Restricted	No trading from VPS or datacenter IPs

Source: each firm's help center or official terms, checked on 8 October 2026. Rules change: check your firm's page before copying.

Two more details: Social Trader Tools offers no static IP or dedicated server, and all your accounts connect from its London servers. If your firm monitors IPs or asks you to trade from your own device, check first. And do not use reverse copying between prop firm accounts: many firms treat it as hedging across accounts.

What users say

It scores 2.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot, from 53 reviews, the lowest of the copiers we have analysed. Half of the reviews are 1 star. Our review analysis above breaks it down.

What comes up most:

• Copy failures with money lost. Stops not copied, missing trades, positions the lead never had and price differences of 10 to 15 pips. Some report losing prop firm accounts.
• A server failure in April 2026, which the company acknowledged. One user lost several accounts because it disconnected just before the stop was hit.
• Users without problems blame the setup. Several 5 star reviews say the bad ones come from people who did not configure it properly.
• Support replies quickly, but does not own failures. It is the most repeated complaint after reliability.

Many negative reviews date from 2022 and 2023, and the company may have improved since. But those from 2025 and 2026 still describe the same issues.

How to use it well

1. Do not use it for scalping or news. The company itself says so.
2. Check that your MT5 accounts are "hedging" before paying.
3. Use your broker's demos, not MetaQuotes ones, for testing.
4. Turn on email alerts and an equity protection rule on every follower.
5. Check the copier logs every day.
6. Do not use reverse copying with prop firm accounts.

Alternatives

• Duplikium: also cloud based, with more settings, cTrader and DXtrade, static IPs and a dedicated server, and a no-card free trial.
• Traders Connect: cloud based, with Match-Trader, TradeLocker and futures. Cheaper from three accounts.
• Tradecopia: if you trade futures.

Verdict

Social Trader Tools is a veteran, complete option for anyone managing MetaTrader accounts: copier, dashboard, alerts, signal selling and white label in one place. And it has one welcome trait: it is clear about what it does not do well.

But its reliability record is the worst of the copiers we have analysed, it is not suited to scalping, it only connects MetaTrader and the price jumps between plans are large. For a few accounts, there are cheaper, better rated options.

Who it is for: MetaTrader account managers or signal sellers with slower strategies, who want a dashboard, signals and white label together.

Who it is not for: scalpers, anyone trading on cTrader, Match-Trader or TradeLocker, and anyone looking to copy to three or four prop firm accounts at the lowest price.
