Copy trades without losing track of your accounts. Drawdown tracking, alerts, and session lockouts built in.
The biggest risk in copy trading is not a bad trade — it is a bad trade copied across ten accounts at once. Signal Trade App gives you per-account risk tools so you can see trouble coming and keep followers out of the market when you choose: drawdown and profit target tracking with alerts, session-based and manual lockouts, and Protect.
The Risk Management page (in beta) tracks each account's prop firm max drawdown — static, trailing or end-of-day, entered by you or reported by the broker — along with its profit target and starting balance. It shows live drawdown left and profit to pass, and sends an in-app and email alert once when a threshold is crossed, re-arming after the account recovers. Drawdown tracking is informational: it never closes trades or stops copying on its own. The Daily P&L Lock below is the control that acts.
Lockouts are the part that acts. Choose the sessions an account should sit out (in New York time), or lock it manually for a set duration. When an account locks, its positions are flattened and it receives no copies, and webhook or API orders to it are refused until the lock ends. Protect, on by default for each follower, closes the follower's position in a symbol and cancels its working orders there when the leader goes flat in that symbol.
Signal Trade App does not set a maximum position size, but its Daily P&L Lock enforces your own daily loss limit or daily profit target on Tradovate and Rithmic accounts: at the limit it closes all positions, cancels orders and locks the account until 6:00 PM ET. Your prop firm's own daily loss limit and auto-liquidation are enforced by the firm at the broker (Tradovate or Rithmic), independent of the copier. A sensible setup keeps your own daily stop below the firm's limit and uses lockouts to keep followers flat through news you do not want to trade.
Per-account customization keeps each follower independent. Set Follower A to copy at x1, Follower B at x2, and lock Follower C during Asia hours. Each account has a one-click Flatten in the Cockpit for when you need out right away; there is no single Flatten All button.
Risk tools for trade copiers: drawdown and profit target tracking with alerts, session and manual lockouts, and Protect for every follower account.
Signal Trade App tracks each account's prop firm max drawdown and profit target and alerts you in-app and by email when a threshold is crossed — informational only. The Daily P&L Lock and lockouts act: a locked account is flattened and receives no copies. Protect closes a follower's symbol when the leader goes flat.
Optionally, yes. On Tradovate and Rithmic accounts you can set a personal daily loss limit and daily profit target per account; when one is reached Signal Trade App closes all positions, cancels orders and locks the account until 6:00 PM ET. Your prop firm still enforces its own limit at the broker, so keep your personal limit inside it.
