How to Set Up a Trade Copier for Multiple Prop Firms

The Multi-Account Problem

You have funded accounts at Lucid Trading, Apex Trader Funding, and MyFundedFutures. You trade the same strategy on all three, but manually executing the same entry on each platform is exhausting. One late entry on Apex costs you $200 in slippage. A missed stop loss on MyFundedFutures blows a $10k account. You need a trade copier that fires trades across all three accounts instantly.

That is where a multi-firm trade copier becomes your edge. Instead of juggling three platforms, you trade one account (your leader) and let the copier broadcast every entry, stop, and exit to every funded account automatically.

Why You Need Platform-Specific Copiers

Each prop firm has different rules. Lucid Trading applies a consistency rule that depends on the plan and an end-of-day trailing drawdown. Apex uses trailing drawdown per account. MyFundedFutures runs EOD drawdown checks and strict profit targets.

A generic copier does not apply these firm rules for you — each firm enforces its own at the broker. That is why the best approach is to set up your copy groups so each follower's size and monitoring fit its firm.

Step 1: Create a Copy Group in Signal Trade App

Log into Signal Trade App, open the Cockpit and click "Create Group." Name it something clear like "Lucid Copy" or "Multi-Firm Copier."

Do not worry about followers yet. You will add them in the next step.

Step 2: Add Followers from Each Prop Firm

In the copy group, add followers from the list of connected accounts.

Each follower will show as a separate row in the group, with its own copy ratio. Next, set up drawdown tracking for each account on the Risk Mgmt page.

Lucid-Specific: Plan-Based Consistency & Drawdown

Lucid Trading's rules depend on the plan. LucidPro has no consistency rule in the evaluation but a 40% rule on each funded payout cycle; LucidFlex has a 50% rule in the evaluation and none once funded. Both use a $2,000 end-of-day trailing maximum loss on the 50K. Lucid enforces those limits; set up each Lucid follower so you see them coming.

Signal Trade App does not lock a follower on a loss figure. When the alert fires or you reach your daily stop, lock that follower yourself — it is flattened and stops receiving copies for the time you choose.

Apex-Specific: Trailing Drawdown Per Account

Apex uses a trailing drawdown model — the floor rises as you reach new equity highs. Signal Trade App can track it per account on the Risk Mgmt page (beta).

The trailing model rewards recovery. As long as you hit new equity highs, you can continue trading even if you took an earlier loss.

MyFundedFutures-Specific: EOD Drawdown & Profit Targets

MyFundedFutures checks drawdown at end-of-day on its EOD plans. This means you have flexibility to recover within the same day, but any open trades are marked-to-market at the close.

Because MyFundedFutures marks trades at close, plan to be flat before the end of the session — Signal Trade App will not close positions on a clock for you.

Take Profit Trader-Specific: Drawdown and Sizing

Take Profit Trader's Test uses a $2,000 end-of-day trailing drawdown on the 50K, needs at least three trading days, and holds your pass until no single day exceeds 50% of total profit. Once funded in PRO, the drawdown becomes intraday trailing.

Size Take Profit Trader PRO followers more conservatively than EOD-drawdown accounts, because unrealised highs count against the intraday trailing drawdown.

Risk Management Across Multiple Firms: Keep Accounts Independent

The key to managing multiple funded accounts is independence. Each account should have its own:

One blown rule on Apex should not affect your Lucid account. In Signal Trade App, lockouts and drawdown tracking are per follower, so you can manage each firm on its own while scaling across all of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent one firm's rules from breaking another firm?

Treat each follower separately. Lucid's consistency rule does not apply to your Apex followers, and each firm enforces its own limits at the broker. In Signal Trade App each follower has its own copy ratio, drawdown tracking and lockout — lock one account and only that account stops copying.

What if DLL rules conflict between firms?

They do not conflict, because each firm enforces its own daily loss limit on its own accounts. Keep a personal stop inside each one, and lock any follower that gets close.

Can one breach stop all copies?

No. If Apex closes a follower for hitting its trailing drawdown, that account stops trading, but your Lucid, Take Profit Trader, and MyFundedFutures accounts keep copying.

How do I track compliance across firms?

Use Signal Trade App's Risk Mgmt page, which shows each account's drawdown left and profit to pass, and the journal's P&L calendar for daily P&L. You can see at a glance which accounts are near their limits and which have room to trade.
