How to copy trade

Copy Trading in Prop Firm Accounts

Some prop firms allow traders to duplicate their trades across multiple accounts, a practice known as copy trading. This can be useful for scaling strategies or managing multiple accounts efficiently.

  • How It Works:
    • A master account executes trades.
    • Trades are automatically copied to follower accounts in real-time.
  • Limits Vary by Firm:
    • Some firms allow copying to 5 accounts.
    • Others, like Apex Trader Funding, allow up to 20 accounts.
  • Benefits:
    • Efficiently manage multiple funded accounts.
    • Scale profitable strategies without manually trading each account.

How I do Copy Trading?

I primarily use Apex Trader Funding, I trade multiple accounts in few different ways

  1. Trade same number of contracts across all Accounts (i.e 5 Contracts x 10 Accounts)
  2. Trade regular size in half of the accounts and trade double the size in other half of the accounts (i.e 5 Contracts x 5 Accounts and 10 Contracts x 5 Accounts)

You can either use Tradovate built in copier to trade multiple accounts or Copying add on for NinjaTrader
