A local trade copier for Tradovate. It mirrors manually-placed trades from one account to multiple other accounts under the same prop firm login.
Core is a one-time $99 purchase with lifetime updates — buy it once, it stays yours. Optional Pro and Elite subscription tiers add advanced features post-launch. If you ever cancel a subscription, you fall back to Core — not to nothing. Pro and Elite pricing and feature list announced closer to release.
When 1,000 traders are on the waitlist. No fixed date — the threshold is a signal of real demand before shipping.
No. It runs entirely on your own machine, with a direct connection to Tradovate. No data passes through Syncopy servers.
A local copier runs on your own computer and connects directly to the broker. A cloud copier runs on a third-party server; the service holds your broker connection and you access it through a web or mobile interface. Cloud copiers can sit physically close to broker infrastructure for very low absolute latency, but rely on shared-server resources and the cloud provider being up. Local copiers are bound to your own internet quality but offer predictable latency (no multi-tenant load), no third-party service in the execution path, and your account data stays on your machine. Reliability flips: cloud keeps running if your machine goes down; local keeps running if the cloud provider has an outage. Different trade-offs, neither strictly better.
No. Syncopy is a standalone Windows application. NinjaTrader-based copiers like Replikanto and Copilink require NT8 as a host platform. Syncopy connects directly to Tradovate.
Yes — for manual trading. When you place orders through TradingView's broker integration to your Tradovate account, those trades show up in Tradovate, and Syncopy copies them to your followers like any other trade. Pine Script webhook automation (where a TradingView strategy auto-fires trades) is on the roadmap for after V1.
Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify, and Lucid Trading are supported for V1 — all four have confirmed via their support teams that copying trades between a trader's own accounts is permitted, both same-firm and cross-firm. Take Profit Trader requires copiers to be on their approved-copier list; Syncopy will request approval after V1 ships, so TPT is not a supported firm at launch.
Yes, confirmed compatible with Apex's policy for accounts under the same user-ID. Cross-trader copying is not supported by design — Apex prohibits this, and Syncopy is built for single-trader multi-account use.
Yes. MyFundedFutures support has confirmed in writing (May 2026) that a single trader copying trades between their own MFFU accounts — and between MFFU and their own accounts at other prop firms — is permitted under MFFU's policy. MFFU is supported for V1 alongside Apex Trader Funding.
Yes. Tradeify's support team confirmed in May 2026 that copying trades between your own prop firm accounts is allowed, both same-firm (between your own Tradeify accounts) and cross-firm (between Tradeify and your accounts at other prop firms). The standard rule applies: you must be the one trading, and no third party may trade on your behalf. Tradeify accounts route through Tradovate, so the integration is the same as for other supported firms.
Yes. Lucid Trading's support team confirmed in May 2026 that copy trading is allowed on their platform, both same-firm (between your own Lucid accounts) and cross-firm (between Lucid and your accounts at other prop firms). The one caveat is that hedging — taking opposite positions across accounts to reduce risk — is not allowed, and that restriction applies across firms too. Syncopy mirrors trades by design (same instrument, same direction, proportional sizing), so the hedging restriction is satisfied automatically. Lucid accounts route through Tradovate, so the integration is the same as for other supported firms.
Not at launch. Take Profit Trader maintains a formal approved-copier list (Tradesyncer, Tradecopia, Affordable Indicators, Replikanto Flowbot Compliance Edition, and platform-native tools). TPT support confirmed in writing (May 2026) that same-firm copying between your own TPT accounts is permitted, but only with an approved copier — and cross-firm copying with TPT is not permitted. Syncopy is not yet on their approved list. We will request approval after V1 ships, following the same path Tradesyncer and Tradecopia did. Until Syncopy is approved, TPT users should not use Syncopy with their TPT accounts.
Tradovate is the V1 focus — that's where the largest prop firm user base is. After V1 ships and stabilizes, the planned expansion order is: TradingView webhooks as a trade source, followed by Rithmic-direct integration to reach NinjaTrader, Quantower, and standalone Rithmic users. Additional platforms considered based on user demand.
Same local-first approach. Syncopy focuses exclusively on Tradovate, uses a one-time payment model for the Core version instead of a monthly subscription, and ships as a standalone desktop application — no NinjaTrader or other platform dependency.
Tradesyncer is cloud-based — your Tradovate connection runs on their servers, and you access it via web or mobile. Syncopy runs entirely on your own machine, with a direct WebSocket to Tradovate. Different trade-offs: cloud means access anywhere; local means no third-party service in your trade execution path.
Tradovate's Group Trade copies orders between accounts that share the same brokerage login, so it can't mirror trades across accounts at different prop firms. It also scales position size by a fixed quantity ratio only — there's no per-account daily loss cap or per-follower risk control. Syncopy copies across firms (an Apex leader driving MyFundedFutures followers, for example) and gives each follower its own multiplier and daily loss cap. If all your accounts sit under one firm and you only need quantity scaling, Group Trade is a perfectly good free option — Syncopy is built for multi-firm setups and per-account risk management.
Syncopy. Core is a $99 one-time purchase with lifetime updates, no subscription required. Tradecopia uses a monthly subscription model ($49.99 Pro Desktop, $149.99 Pro+ Web as of May 2026). Both are local-first desktop copiers; Syncopy is Tradovate-native (no NinjaTrader dependency) and uses a one-time-purchase pricing model for the base version.
Two maintained reference pages: the prop firm rules matrix shows which Tradovate-supporting firms permit cross-firm copy trading, with per-firm maximum funding configuration. The Tradovate trade copier guide compares local desktop options against cloud subscriptions with criteria for choosing a pay-once option.
