Start copying
with TradeDupe

TradeDupe automatically copies your trades from one Tradovate account to as many others as you want. You trade normally on your leader account, and TradeDupe places the same trades on your follower accounts within a fraction of a second.

You don't need to keep your computer on. Once your accounts are connected, TradeDupe handles everything in the background — entries, exits, and even unwanted trades that need closing.

1. 1You place a trade on your leader account in Tradovate (or any platform that fills your Tradovate account).
2. 2TradeDupe sees the fill instantly.
3. 3TradeDupe places the same trade — same symbol, same side, same size — on every follower account that has copying enabled.
4. 4When you exit on the leader, the same exit is sent to your followers.

You can resize trades per account, restrict which symbols an account is allowed to copy, and turn copying on or off for any follower at any time.

The Cockpit is your control center. From here you assign your leader, turn copying on or off for each follower, set sizing, restrict symbols, and watch trades flow through in real time.

A connection is one Tradovate login. If your Tradovate login has multiple accounts under it (for example, several evaluation accounts), they'll all appear under that single connection.

• You sign in with your Tradovate username and password. TradeDupe never sees passwords for any other service.
• If you sign into Tradovate with Google, log into Tradovate's website once first, then enter the same email and password here.
• You can disable a connection at any time without deleting it — your settings stay saved for when you turn it back on.
• If you change your Tradovate password, come back and re-enter it on the connection card.

By default, every follower copies your leader 1:1 — same contracts, same size. You have two ways to change that:

• Position size multiplier. A whole number from 1 to 100. 1 copies the leader exactly, 2 doubles, 5 multiplies by five, and so on. Fractional values aren't supported — if you need a follower to trade less than the leader, lower the leader's size instead.
• Allowed contracts. A whitelist of symbols. If your leader trades NQ, ES, and CL but you only want CL copied to a particular account, list only CL there.

A rogue trade is any trade that appears on a follower account that didn't come from TradeDupe — usually because someone (often you) clicked something in Tradovate directly. TradeDupe sees this and immediately closes the position with a market order, so your follower account stays in sync with your leader.

TradeDupe works with every prop firm that uses Tradovate — Apex, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify, Goat, Lucid, and more. Setup is identical: connect them like any other Tradovate account.

A few things to keep in mind specifically for prop firms:

• Trailing drawdowns are unforgiving. One unwanted symbol slipping through can put a follower offside. Use Allowed contracts to lock down what each account can copy.
• Contract caps differ by stage. If a follower has a smaller cap than your leader (e.g. eval stage with a 2-contract limit while the leader trades 5), trade smaller on the leader — multipliers can only scale up (1x–100x), not down.
• Consistency rules. Aggressive multipliers (3x, 5x) can break per-day profit caps even when the leader is fine. Start at 1x.
• News restrictions. TradeDupe doesn't pause for high-impact news. Either flatten on the leader, or turn off Following for the news window.
• End-of-day flat. If your firm requires you to be flat by a certain time, you must close on the leader.

If you're running 10, 20, or more followers at once:

• Group accounts by sizing intent. If 10 accounts should copy at 1x and 5 should copy at 2x, set the multipliers once and forget about it.
• Use Allowed contracts to give different accounts different mandates from the same leader (one account does NQ-only, another does ES-only, etc.).
• Watch the live fills feed for the first few trades after a setup change to make sure every account is actually receiving copies.
• If an account starts behaving differently from the others, the most common cause is a leftover bracket or stop placed manually on that account. Cancel those before resuming.

TradeDupe copies fills — actual executions. The cleanest way to use stops and take-profits is to place them on the leader: when they fire, the exit fill copies to your followers like any other trade.

What to avoid:

• Placing brackets directly on follower accounts in Tradovate. If they fire, they'll be treated as rogue trades and closed.
• Mixing leader brackets and manual exits. Pick one approach so your followers don't see overlapping signals.

Tradovate enforces a per-user rate limit on its API. If too many sign-ins or live connections are made for the same Tradovate login in a short window, Tradovate returns a 429 (Too Many Requests) and locks that login out for roughly one hour. The lockout is on the Tradovate side — there's no way to clear it early, only wait.

When TradeDupe sees a 429 on one of your connections, it pauses that connection automatically and resumes once the cooldown expires. Copying for that connection is paused during the lockout — fills on the leader will not copy until it recovers.

Most common causes

• The same Tradovate login is signed in somewhere else. If you're using another copy-trader, a second TradeDupe account, a mobile app, or a browser tab that stays authenticated, every reconnect from us competes with those sessions and trips a 429.
• Logging in and out repeatedly. Re-saving credentials over and over, or removing and re-adding the same connection within a few minutes, looks like an attack to Tradovate.
• Changing your Tradovate password without updating it here. Each failed sign-in counts toward the limit. Three or four bad attempts in a row will trigger the lockout.
• Running the same login on two TradeDupe accounts. Two TradeDupe users with the same Tradovate credentials will both try to maintain a live session — Tradovate sees duplicate sessions and 429s both.
• Switching the leader source account back and forth quickly. Each time you change which sub-account is the leader, TradeDupe tears down and reopens its live session to Tradovate. Doing that several times in a few minutes looks like rapid reconnects to Tradovate and can trip the 429.

How to avoid 429s

• Use each Tradovate login in one place at a time. Sign out of any other copy tools, mobile apps, or extra browser tabs you don't actively need.
• If you change your Tradovate password, update it on the connection card once. Don't keep retrying with the old one.
• Don't delete and re-add a working connection to "refresh" it. If a connection is misbehaving, contact us first — re-adding usually makes it worse.
• If you're running a prop firm with multiple sub-accounts, use the master Tradovate login as your single connection in TradeDupe — don't add the same login twice.
• Pick your leader source account and leave it alone. If you need to switch which sub-account is the leader, change it once and let it settle for a few minutes before changing again.

If you're currently rate-limited

• You don't need to do anything. The connection will resume on its own once the ~1-hour cooldown expires.
• Do not remove and re-add the connection during the cooldown. That re-arms the lockout for another full hour.
• Sign out of any other tools using the same Tradovate login while you wait, so the next reconnect succeeds cleanly.
• If the same connection 429s again after recovering, that's a strong sign another session is using the same login somewhere — track it down before re-enabling.

Tradovate occasionally has slowdowns or short outages. Here's what TradeDupe does:

• It reconnects automatically as soon as the broker recovers — you don't need to do anything.
• If a follower order is rejected during the outage, it's recorded as failed. We do not retry it later — chasing a fill minutes after the leader entered would usually be worse than missing it.
• If the broker is rate-limiting your account (a 429), TradeDupe waits the ~1-hour cooldown out and resumes automatically. See Rate limits and how to avoid them for details.

Billing is handled by Stripe. You can change or cancel your plan anytime from the Membership page — access continues until the end of your current billing period. Refunds follow our refund policy.

• Your Tradovate password is encrypted before it's saved and is never visible in our admin tools or logs.
• TradeDupe only places trades. It cannot withdraw funds, transfer money, or change account settings on your broker.
• You can disconnect any account at any time from the Connections page. That immediately stops all copying for that account.
• Email verification is required before any account can be connected.
