Prop firm trade copier: trade one account, copy it to every evaluation

Why prop traders use a trade copier

Prop firm evaluations reward consistency. If you are working on three or five evaluations at once, you want them all to take the same trade at the same moment with the right size for each account. Doing that by hand is slow, and the accounts drift apart the first time you fat-finger a quantity or miss an exit.

A trade copier turns that into one decision. You focus on the lead account; CopyFlock handles the copies. Because followers can be at different firms and on different platforms, you can spread your evaluations across firms without changing how you trade.

Prop firms and platforms CopyFlock works with

CopyFlock connects to the platform your firm gives you. The firms below are ones our users copy with today. CopyFlock is independent and not endorsed by any of them.

If your firm uses CQG, Quantower or Volumetrica as its only connection, CopyFlock cannot copy it today. Ask support if you are unsure which connection you have.

How to set up copying across prop accounts

1. 1

   Step 1: Pick your lead

   Choose the account you will actually trade. It can be an evaluation, a funded account or a personal brokerage account.

2. 2

   Step 2: Connect every account

   Add each account with its platform's connect method: Tradovate via OAuth sign-in, Rithmic via username, password and system, TopstepX via username and ProjectX API key.

3. 3

   Step 3: Size each follower

   Use a contract multiplier of 1 for identical account sizes, equity-to-equity for different sizes, or fixed contracts when a firm caps your position.

4. 4

   Step 4: Add caps and protection

   Set maximum contracts per follower and per symbol, then add equity thresholds below each account's drawdown limit.

5. 5

   Step 5: Test, then trade

   Run a one-contract test on the lead and check the copy log. Your 7-day free trial covers 2 accounts, which is enough to test a lead and one follower.

Protecting evaluations from the lead's bad day

The biggest risk of copying is that one losing day hits every account at once. Account protection gives each follower its own floor and ceiling. When the follower's balance or equity crosses a threshold you set, CopyFlock flattens its positions and pauses copying to it, while the lead and other followers carry on.

Sizing example: one 50K lead, five followers at three firms

Prop firm rules: what to check first

Firms set their own rules on trade copiers and change them from time to time. Before you copy, read the current rules in your firm's help center and look for:

• Whether trade copiers are allowed, and whether copying between accounts you own is allowed.
• Limits on how many accounts you can hold or trade at once.
• Rules on holding opposite positions across accounts (hedging) — relevant if you use reverse trades.
• Consistency, news-trading and position-size rules that apply per account.
• Rules about copying someone else's trades or signals, which are often treated differently from copying yourself.

Our guide to prop firm copy trading rules goes through these in more detail. CopyFlock gives you the tools; following your firm's rules is your responsibility.
