A Tradovate trade copier watches one account (the leader) and places the same orders on your other accounts (the followers). If you hold evaluation or funded accounts at several Tradovate-based prop firms, or several accounts at one firm, it saves you from placing every order by hand and keeps all accounts in step.
Tradovate is the platform behind many prop firms, including Apex Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify, MyFundedFutures and Lucid Trading. A good copier connects through the Tradovate API, copies entries and exits quickly, sizes each follower separately, and helps keep every account inside its firm’s rules.
Prices, trials and platform lists below were re-read from each company’s own pricing page and FAQ on 2026-11-07. Latency figures are each vendor’s own claim, not our measurement. Check their sites before you buy; prices and promotions change.

Signal Trade App is a cloud copier: nothing to install and no VPS to manage. You sign in to Tradovate with its official login, pick a leader and followers, and set a size ratio for each follower. Followers enter when the leader’s entry fills and exit when its stop or target fills. Live, demo and eval accounts can sit in the same copy group, and Rithmic accounts can follow a Tradovate leader.
Each follower has its own copy ratio, session and manual lockouts, and drawdown tracking with alerts, and every closed trade lands in a built-in journal. Pricing is one plan for unlimited accounts: $29/month, or $199/year, after a 5-day trial that requires a card. A $599 one-time self-hosted licence is also available.
Where it is not the right fit: it does not connect to Topstep or ProjectX, and it does not list Sierra Chart, ATAS or Quantower.
TradeSyncer is an established cloud copier with the widest platform list here. It prices by broker logins: Basic is $49/month for 2 logins with 10 accounts each, Pro is $99/month for 4 logins with 20 each, and Flex is $149/month with unlimited logins and 120 accounts included. Each prop firm is usually its own login, so three firms already means Pro. Bracket orders, risk tools and journaling are on every plan, and there is a 7-day trial with a card up front. See TradeSyncer pricing explained.
TradeCopia offers the same copier three ways: a $49.99/month desktop app that runs on your own computer, a $79.99/month browser version on managed hosting, and a $149.99/month dedicated VPS with a static IP. Every tier has unlimited accounts. Its Position Reconciler closes any follower position that did not come from the leader, and TradingView alerts can open a trade with a take-profit and stop-loss attached. Pro and Pro+ Lite have a 7-day trial; Pro+ does not. See TradeCopia pricing explained.
FutuCopy is a cloud copier hosted in a Chicago-area datacenter and claims 1–2ms latency to Tradovate and Rithmic infrastructure. Plans are $39/month on shared servers, $99/month with a dedicated static IP, and $189/month for a dedicated server with a REST API. All plans allow unlimited prop firms and accounts, accept TradingView webhooks, and come with a 7-day trial. The $39 plan carries a Tradovate API limit of 750 requests per 30 minutes.
Before going live, confirm your prop firm allows copy trading between your own accounts. Most Tradovate-based firms do; rules differ by firm. For a full walkthrough see how to copy trades in Tradovate, or start your 5-day free trial.
It depends on your setup. Signal Trade App is the lowest-cost cloud option for unlimited Tradovate and Rithmic accounts ($29/month). TradeSyncer covers the most platforms, TradeCopia offers a desktop app or a dedicated VPS, and FutuCopy focuses on Chicago-hosted low latency.
It connects to your Tradovate accounts through the Tradovate API and keeps a live connection open. When the leader account places or fills an order, the copier sends the matching order to each follower, sized by that follower’s ratio.
Yes. Signal Trade App connects accounts from all Tradovate environments and lets you mix them in one copy group.
Most Tradovate-based firms, including Apex Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify, MyFundedFutures and Lucid Trading. Check each firm’s rules on copy trading before going live.
Yes. Signal Trade App, TradeSyncer, TradeCopia and FutuCopy all support both Tradovate and Rithmic, and Signal Trade App lets Rithmic followers sit in the same copy group as a Tradovate leader.
With Signal Trade App, followers enter when the leader’s entry fills and exit when the leader’s stop or target fills.
Not a permanently free one among these four. All offer trials: 5 days on Signal Trade App and 7 days on TradeSyncer, FutuCopy, and TradeCopia’s Pro and Pro+ Lite plans.
Not with new Topstep accounts. Independent reviews report that new Trading Combines have been TopstepX-only since July 2026, and Topstep’s terms require trading to originate from your personal device with no VPS or remote servers. Signal Trade App does not connect to Topstep accounts.
Signal Trade App lets you copy one trade across unlimited prop firm accounts in under 50ms. Sign up free with a 5-day Pro trial (credit card required, no charge during trial).
