Tradesyncer alternative: how CopyFlock compares

CopyFlock vs Tradesyncer at a glance

Both are cloud-based copiers aimed at futures traders, so neither needs your PC or a VPS to stay online. The table lists CopyFlock's specifics; for each row, compare against Tradesyncer's current plan details.

What CopyFlock focuses on

Pricing you can work out in your head

Every connected account costs the same: $8 a month, or $80 a year. A lead and four followers is five accounts, so $40 a month. There are no tiers that unlock features — every account gets every setting. Try the pricing calculator for your own count.

Futures only, three platforms done properly

CopyFlock concentrates on futures accounts on Tradovate, Rithmic and TopstepX, plus NinjaTrader brokerage accounts through the Tradovate connection. Rithmic logins use one connection shared across all your copies, and you can keep R|Trader Pro open while copying.

Per-follower control

Each follower has its own sizing mode, contract caps, symbol aliases, whitelist or blacklist, copy delay and account protection thresholds. That matters when you copy one lead into prop accounts with different sizes and rules — see the prop firm trade copier page.

Who should pick which

CopyFlock is likely a good fit if…

• Your accounts are on Tradovate, Rithmic or TopstepX (or NinjaTrader brokerage accounts).
• You want one flat price per account and every feature on every account.
• You copy into prop accounts of different sizes and want risk-based sizing, per-symbol caps and equity thresholds.
• You trade minis on the lead and want some followers on micros via symbol aliases.

Tradesyncer may suit you better if…

• You need a connection CopyFlock does not support. CopyFlock does not support CQG, Quantower or Volumetrica — check whether Tradesyncer covers what you need.
• You already run a setup there that works, and your accounts and rules are not changing.
• A specific Tradesyncer feature or plan is important to your workflow.

Questions to ask any trade copier

Whichever tool you choose, these questions separate a copier that fits from one that only looks good on a feature list:

• Does it connect to every account I hold? List each account's platform and, for Rithmic, its system name, then check each one.
• What happens when my PC is off? A cloud copier should keep running; an add-on will not.
• How is size calculated, and how is it rounded? Futures trade in whole contracts, so small accounts copying small trades need a minimum or a fixed size.
• Can each follower stop itself? Look for per-account thresholds that flatten and pause, not just a global kill switch.
• What does it cost at my account count? Work out the price for a lead plus every follower you plan to run in six months, not just today.
• Can I see what happened? A copy log that ties each follower order to the lead order makes problems quick to diagnose.

How to switch without double-copying

The one real risk when moving between copiers is having two copiers running at once — every lead trade would then be copied twice. Switch in this order:

1. 1

   Step 1: Note your current settings

   Write down each follower's size, multipliers, symbol mappings and any risk limits.

2. 2

   Step 2: Flatten or pause

   Do the switch outside your trading session with followers flat.

3. 3

   Step 3: Turn off the old copier

   Disable copying there completely, and disconnect the accounts if you no longer need them.

4. 4

   Step 4: Connect accounts in CopyFlock

   Add each account with its platform's connect method and recreate the settings you noted.

5. 5

   Step 5: Test with one contract

   Place a one-lot trade on the lead and confirm each follower in the copy log before trading full size.

Honest notes

• We do not quote competitor prices or feature lists here because they change and we cannot keep them accurate. Check Tradesyncer's own site for current details.

• No copier can make followers fill at exactly the lead's price. Every follower order is sent after the lead fills.
