Tradecopia: information and detailed review

Tradecopia is a futures-only trade copier. You trade on one account, the leader, and Tradecopia replicates every order on your other accounts, the followers, even when they sit at different prop firms. What sets it apart is that you choose where it runs: as a program on your own computer, or on one of its servers through the browser. And every plan copies to unlimited accounts for a flat price.

We read its entire help center (96 articles), its terms of service, 217 Trustpilot reviews, around forty Reddit threads and the copy trading rules of eleven futures prop firms. This is what we found.

Who is behind it

Tradecopia Solutions Inc. is a Canadian company based in North Vancouver, British Columbia. It is young: its first public reviews date from September 2025. On Reddit it is currently the copier most often recommended to people leaving Tradesyncer.

Three things in its terms worth knowing before you pay:

• Its liability is capped. If the copier fails and you lose accounts, the most it will cover is what you paid in the previous three months, or 500 Canadian dollars if that is higher.
• It does not guarantee you follow your firm's rules. It says so explicitly: the software working with your account does not mean your firm allows it.
• It may earn commissions from prop firms. Its terms allow it to join firm and broker affiliate programs, and its website has a prop firm deals section.

It is not a broker and does not provide signals: it is software only.

Desktop or cloud: the decision that matters

Tradecopia runs in two ways, and almost everything else depends on which one you choose.

Pro, desktop. You install a program on Windows or Mac, and follower orders leave from your computer and your connection. Many users pick it for exactly that reason: no shared server, and orders come from their own IP. But the trade-offs are clear:

• Your computer has to stay on and connected. If it sleeps, restarts or loses internet, copying stops. Trades placed in the meantime are not recovered later.
• The protections switch off too. The system that fixes mismatches and the risk limits on Rithmic accounts only work while the app is open.
• On reopening, it does not review the previous session. If you left a follower with an open position, it can end up with twice the leader's contracts on the next trade.
• Updating mid-session restarts the app. They recommend updating before the open or after the close.
• On Mac there is only an Intel build. On Apple chip Macs it runs through Rosetta, Apple's compatibility layer. One user complains that the website says "universal app" and it is not.
• They ask for at least 8 GB of RAM and a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi.

Pro+ Lite and Pro+, in the cloud. Tradecopia runs on a server and you control it from the browser, including on your phone. You can switch your computer off. You choose the server location: Chicago by default, or New York, Dallas, London, Frankfurt, Singapore or Tokyo, with the providers ChartVPS or QuantVPS. Updates are deployed outside market hours.

The difference between the two cloud plans is capacity. On Pro+ Lite the server is shared with other users, although each has an isolated environment. On Pro+ the capacity is yours alone, built for many accounts or heavy scalping. The features are the same.

Never run both versions on the same accounts at once: every order would be copied twice.

Which accounts it works with

Tradecopia does not connect to your charting platform, but to the provider behind your account. You can trade from TradingView, Quantower or Sierra Chart, as long as the account is with one of these:

Connection	What you should know
Tradovate	Connects with your login, through OAuth. The most common option at prop firms
NinjaTrader	These are Tradovate accounts seen through NinjaTrader. They connect the same way
Rithmic	Rithmic-issued accounts only. You need your firm's exact system name
TopStepX	Topstep only. The TopStepX API is paid separately: $29 a month, or $14.50 with Topstep's code

And what it does not support:

• dxFeed. For example, MyFundedFutures accounts on Quantower run on dxFeed and cannot be connected. They say they are looking into it.
• CQG, or AMP accounts that are not Rithmic-backed.
• Alpha Trader, the in-house platform of Alpha Futures. Alpha no longer issues Tradovate accounts, so its new accounts cannot be connected today.
• MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader. Tradecopia is futures only: no forex, stocks, options or crypto.

There is no limit on accounts or connections on any plan. You also cannot connect someone else's prop firm accounts: the subscription is for a single user.

How it copies

You create a group with one leader and as many followers as you like. For each follower you choose:

• A multiplier. Decimals are allowed; if the result is not a whole number of contracts, it rounds up.
• The contract type. Standard, mini or micro. If the leader trades NQ, a follower can copy in MNQ. It works for any contract that has a mini or micro version.
• A contract cap. "Max Minis" and "Max Micros" stop a follower from going over its firm's limit.
• When to copy. When the order is submitted on the leader, or only once it fills. With "on fill", the follower gets a market order and may enter at a different price.

According to its help center, it sends orders to all followers at the same time, not one after another, and the internal copy takes milliseconds. What adds the most time is the round trip to the broker. That is why, they say, the cloud version is usually faster than the desktop one.

Which orders it copies. Market, limit, stop market and simple brackets: one entry with one take profit and one stop loss. Stop limit orders, automatic trailing stops and brackets with several targets or several stops are not supported. It does not block them, but warns they may work sometimes and fail other times. If you want to scale out, their suggested fix is to open several one-contract entries, each with its own bracket.

The protections

• Position Reconciler. If a follower holds a position that does not match the leader's contract or direction, it closes it. It is on by default. Note: it only checks contract and direction, not size. If a follower holds twice the leader's contracts in the same direction, it does not fix it.
• Drift protection (beta). Compares positions every second, even when nothing is trading, and closes extra positions on followers. It is on by default for new groups.
• Stop copying after a mismatch. If enabled, after correcting a follower it stops copying to it until you review it.
• Prevent Hedging. Prevents opposite positions between accounts, but only with market orders and without flipping a position in one go.
• Copy test. One button places a 1 MES limit order far from the price on the leader, checks that it reaches every follower at the right size and cancels it.

A side effect that catches some people out: if you trade a follower account by hand, the Reconciler closes your trade. To do it you have to pause that follower first.

Risk management

Per account, you can set a daily loss limit, a daily profit target and a maximum number of trades per day. When a limit is hit, it closes positions and stops you opening new ones. But it does not work the same everywhere:

• Tradovate and NinjaTrader: the limits are sent to the broker itself. You have to press "Push" every time you change something; otherwise Tradovate keeps applying the old settings. Weekly limits are also available here.
• Rithmic: Tradecopia enforces them. On desktop, only while the app is open. No weekly limits.
• TopStepX: limits are not enforced. You have to set them on Topstep's own platform.

Each limit also has its own switch. Typing the number is not enough: if you do not enable it, it shows as "DISABLED" and does nothing. It is the first cause of "my limit did not trigger" in their help center.

In the cloud you also get Hard Lock: you lock the account for up to 48 hours and nobody, not even support, can lift it early. And an event scheduler that flattens everything or locks the accounts before a news release.

Tradovate's limits

Tradovate allows about 80 requests per minute and 5,000 per hour, and every order, modification or cancellation counts once per account. Copying to many accounts and moving your stop a few times can use it up. Tradecopia cannot get around it, but it does show the counter on screen, which several users appreciate.

TradingView and mobile

• TradingView alerts. With "Strategies" you can send TradingView alerts to open or close trades on the leader, with a stop and target. Only on the cloud plans, and only at the firms Tradecopia has enabled. There is no public API.
• Mobile. There is no native app. In the cloud you use your phone's browser; on desktop, you cannot. A mobile app is the most repeated request in the reviews.
• Journal and firm tracker. It includes a trade journal, a log of what you spend and earn at each firm, and a consistency calculator with firm presets.

Pricing and terms

Plan	Monthly	Billed yearly	Where it runs	Accounts
Pro	$49.99	$34.99/mo	Your computer	Unlimited
Pro+ Lite	$79.99	$59.99/mo	Their cloud, shared server	Unlimited
Pro+	$149.99	$119.99/mo	Their cloud, reserved capacity	Unlimited

Worth reading twice:

• The free trial lasts 7 days and needs a card. If you do not cancel before it ends, you are charged automatically. Their pricing page offers it on Pro and Pro+ Lite; their help center contradicts itself about the cloud plans. Only one trial per person, household, device and card. Yearly plans have no trial.
• There are no refunds. Not even for outages. There is a once-in-a-lifetime "courtesy refund" per household, if they approve it: you get back the unused part of the month, minus a 20% fee.
• Discount codes only work on your first purchase. The usual one is 30% off the first month. One review says that after changing cards they lost the discounted price and could not apply it again.
• Switching cloud plans starts from scratch. A new server is created and you have to set up your groups, connections and limits again.

What prop firms say

Tradecopia connecting to your account does not mean you are allowed to use it. This is what the official rules say at the futures firms we track:

Firm	Copy trading	What you need to know
Alpha Futures	Allowed	Only between your own accounts. They recommend the smallest account leads
AquaFunded Futures	Allowed on Flex accounts	All accounts must be yours
Blue Guardian Futures	Allowed, including external copiers	Opposite positions across accounts are forbidden
E8 Futures	Allowed	Hedging across accounts is forbidden, even if they are all yours
FTMO Futures	Allowed between your accounts	Each account must follow its own rules
FundedNext Futures	Allowed, including with other firms	They may ask you to prove every account is yours
The5ers Futures	Limited	Only 25K and 50K accounts, up to $75,000 in total
Top One Futures	Allowed	Up to 10 or 20 accounts, depending on the plan
Funded Futures Family	Not allowed, per our firm page	Explicitly forbids hedging across accounts
The Trading Pit Futures	Restricted	Its terms list copying trades among prohibited practices
Earn2Trade	Forbidden	They can refuse accounts and withdrawals if you used a copier

Source: each firm's help center or official terms, checked on 8 October 2026. Rules change: check your firm's page before copying. And even if your firm allows it, whether you can connect depends on your account's provider, as explained above.

About the "whitelist". Tradecopia's help center says it is whitelisted with the firms it supports and that your sessions are not flagged. It does not publish which firms those are or any agreement, and its own help center admits it does not keep a list of compatible firms. It also makes clear this does not exempt you from your firm's rules.

The real risk is opposite positions. Several firms forbid having one account long and another short on the same contract, even for a few seconds and because of a glitch. On Reddit there are cases of traders whose profits Lucid removed for "self-hedging" while copying with Tradecopia. One of them showed their Tradovate logs and Tradecopia's reply, which found no mismatch, and the firm still did not review its decision. We do not know who was right. What we do know is that the firm decides, not the copier.

What users say

It scores 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot, from 363 reviews. The company invites reviews, and seven in ten 5 star reviews come from accounts with one or two reviews in total. Even so, many are long and specific. Our review analysis above breaks it down.

What comes up most, on Trustpilot and Reddit:

• It is the alternative to Tradesyncer. That is the most frequent comparison. People who switch mention fewer ghost orders and half the price, especially on the desktop version.
• Discord support is fast. This comes up a lot, sometimes with the CEO joining the chat.
• Failures happen, just less often. 2 to 3 second delays for one user with more than 20 accounts, unnoticed disconnections, orders not cancelled on followers and a cloud outage in August 2026 that, according to one user, left stops uncopied.
• Closing at market can be slow. One trader lost $1,770 across their followers after closing a trade by mistake from TradingView: the leader got out almost flat and the followers got out later. Another user noticed the same with "Market Close" on Tradovate and stopped seeing it with limit orders.
• When someone complains about speed, the company replies that it is their computer. On desktop that is partly true, but it does not always solve the problem.
• A mobile app is missing. Mainly to flatten or pause the group when away from home.

How to use it without losing accounts

This routine comes from its own help center and from user experience:

1. Turn off any other copier, including Tradovate's Group Trade, and the cloud version if you use the desktop one. Two copiers on the same account duplicate orders.
2. On desktop, open Tradecopia before trading and wait until every connection is green. Never close or update it with open positions.
3. Run the copy test at the start of the session.
4. Keep the Reconciler and Drift protection on.
5. Use simple brackets: one stop market and one target, no automatic trailing.
6. Enable every risk limit and, on Tradovate, press Push after each change. Check it on Tradovate.
7. Check follower sizes, because the Reconciler does not fix double-sized positions.
8. Close everything with Flatten Group before shutting down.

Alternatives

• Tradesyncer: cloud only, with a journal included. It also connects dxFeed and CQG, but limits connections by plan.
• Your platform's own copier. If all your accounts are at the same firm on Tradovate, its Group Trade is free. Quantower, ATAS and MotiveWave have their own too.
• Replikanto: inside NinjaTrader, with a lifetime license.
• Duplikium and Traders Connect: if you mix futures with forex or CFD accounts on MetaTrader.

Verdict

Tradecopia is currently one of the best-regarded futures copiers, and it is easy to see why: unlimited accounts for a flat price, the option of sending orders from your own computer, mismatch protections on by default and very clear documentation about what it does and does not do.

Its limits are just as clear. It does not connect dxFeed, CQG or Alpha Trader. The desktop version needs your computer on and discipline when opening and closing. The Reconciler does not fix size. There are no refunds. And if something goes wrong, its liability stops at three months of fees. Only use it at firms that allow copying, and start with a few accounts.

Who it is for: futures traders with Tradovate, NinjaTrader or Rithmic accounts across several firms, who trade from a fixed computer or would rather pay for the cloud and forget about it.

Who it is not for: anyone with dxFeed or Alpha Futures accounts, anyone trading with trailing stops or partial exits in a single order, and anyone who needs to manage the group from a mobile app.
