Trade Copier Software: What It Does, Mechanically

TradeDupe is a hosted worker plus a web dashboard. The worker runs on our infrastructure around the clock, so your computer can be off. For each leader account it holds a persistent connection to Tradovate's execution-report stream — the same channel Tradovate uses to tell its own apps that an order filled, was modified, or was cancelled.

When the leader's fill arrives, the worker builds one order per active follower: same symbol and side, quantity multiplied by that follower's whole-number multiplier (1x to 100x), skipped entirely if the symbol is not on that follower's allowed-contract list. Those orders are sent to Tradovate in parallel, not one after another. Copy mode can be Market or Limit.

If the leader's entry carried a bracket, the worker places the take-profit and stop-loss on each follower at the leader's prices. From then on it watches the leader's bracket legs: a modification (you dragged the stop) becomes a modification on every follower leg; a cancellation becomes a cancellation. When the leader's position is closed by a target, a stop or a manual flatten, the followers' positions are closed and their now-redundant legs cancelled.

Separately, the worker watches every follower's execution reports. A fill it did not place — you clicked in the Tradovate app on a follower by mistake, an old bracket leg from before the copier was connected triggered — is treated as a rogue fill and market-closed. This is what stops one account from drifting into a position the leader does not hold. Rogue detection relies on telling the copier's orders apart from yours on the broker's stream, which is not possible when the follower shares the leader's Tradovate login; same-login followers are copied but not rogue-protected.

Leader: a $50K evaluation. Followers: two more $50K evals at 1x and one $150K funded account at 2x. You buy 2 MNQ on the leader with a bracket — stop 40 ticks below, target 80 ticks above.

The worker sees the leader's 2-lot buy on the execution-report stream and dispatches three buys in parallel: 2 MNQ to each $50K follower, 4 MNQ to the $150K account. Each follower gets a stop and a target at the leader's prices, sized to its own position. The live feed shows four rows: the leader and three followers, each with its fill price.

Ten minutes later you drag the leader's stop up to breakeven. The worker modifies all three follower stops to the same price. Later the target fills on the leader; the follower targets fill at theirs and their stop legs are cancelled. If one follower had been rejected on the entry (insufficient margin, a firm-side block), the live feed would show the reject, the other followers would be unaffected, and that account would hold no position.

Traders running the same strategy across several futures accounts that all live on Tradovate — most commonly a mix of evaluation and funded prop firm accounts at Apex, Tradeify, Lucid Trading, MyFundedFutures or Take Profit Trader, sometimes with a personal Tradovate brokerage account alongside. The copier is most useful when the accounts have different sizes (hence the multiplier), different symbol rules (hence the allowed-contract list), and different rule sets (hence the per-follower toggle, so you can switch off the account that is near its daily loss limit without touching the rest).

It is not for traders who run different strategies per account, who need accounts on Rithmic, CQG, ProjectX or MetaTrader copied, or who want signals from someone else's account — every account in a group has to be yours, under a Tradovate login you authorize.

• Good fit: one strategy, several Tradovate accounts, different sizes or rules per account.
• Poor fit: any account outside Tradovate; copying another trader's fills; a single account.

Standard is $30/mo or $20/mo billed yearly ($240/yr): 2 Tradovate logins with up to 10 accounts each. Pro is $60/mo or $45/mo yearly ($540/yr): 4 logins with up to 20 accounts each, plus AI trade analysis. Elite is $120/mo or $90/mo yearly ($1,080/yr): unlimited logins and accounts. A 'connection' is one Tradovate login, such as one prop-firm login; all accounts under it are discovered automatically. There is no per-account surcharge inside a tier.

The free trial is 7 days with a card on file, charged on day 8 unless cancelled. Refunds are available within 24 hours of the initial purchase; see /refund-policy.

It only copies Tradovate. There is no Rithmic, CQG, ProjectX, TopstepX, MT4/MT5 or cTrader support, and no TradingView webhook or alert integration — if you execute on Tradovate from TradingView's broker integration or from NinjaTrader connected to Tradovate, the resulting Tradovate fills are copied, but those front ends themselves are not connected.

It does not read your prop firm's rules. Contract caps, consistency thresholds and daily loss limits are yours to configure through the multiplier, the allowed-contract list and the follower toggle. Daily loss and profit limits can be written from the dashboard to Tradovate's own auto-liquidation settings, which Tradovate then enforces; the copier itself does not pause a follower on drawdown. It does not guarantee identical fills — each follower order is a separate order at the broker and can fill at a different price or be rejected. And rogue-fill detection does not cover followers that share the leader's Tradovate login.

• Tradovate only; no TradingView webhooks.
• Multipliers are whole numbers (1x–100x).
• No automatic drawdown-triggered pause; broker-side limits are written to Tradovate instead.
• Same-login followers: copied, but no rogue-fill detection.
