Trade copiers built into trading platforms: what they can and can’t do

First: your prop firm decides

A copier being built into a platform says nothing about whether your firm allows it. Two examples from the firms’ own help centers:

• Earn2Trade states that “the use of trade copiers is not allowed on any of our programs” (source). That includes a copier inside the platform.
• Topstep offers its own copier on Trading Combine and Express Funded accounts, but not on Live Funded accounts (source).

For the firms that run on Tradovate, the rules are collected in the prop firm rules matrix.

The seven, side by side

As published by each platform and checked 11 November 2026, at list price without temporary promotions, in USD. Quantower is free on one connection; copying across connections needs the All-in-One licence at $70 a month. Tradesea has no platform fee at Tradeify (source), but no price is published for the copier. Tickblaze is also available through partner prop firms. Deepcharts does not say which plan includes the copier. The TopstepX API for outside tools is $29 a month. Tradovate is not among the connections of WealthCharts or Quantower (WealthCharts, Quantower), and Tickblaze and Deepcharts do not mention it. Cloud means copying continues with your platform closed; local means it copies only while the platform runs on your computer.

The first column is the one that matters if your accounts are on Tradovate. Of the seven, only Group Trade works with Tradovate accounts, and it stops at one login. At a prop firm you usually pick the platform per account, so an Apex account opened on WealthCharts is a different account from one opened on Tradovate. The others copy between accounts on their own platform or connections, which means trading those accounts there instead of on Tradovate.

Tradovate Group Trade

Group Trade is part of Tradovate at no charge. You make a group, add your accounts, and one order is spread across all of them. If your accounts all sit at one prop firm, it may be the end of your search.

Its wall is the login: an Apex account and a MyFundedFutures account are two different logins, so they cannot be grouped. It also has no per-account risk controls, no ATM strategies, and order sizes have to be a multiple of the group total. The full walkthrough is on does Tradovate have a built-in trade copier?

TopstepX Trade Copier

TopstepX has a copier built in for Topstep accounts. It mirrors trades from a lead account to one or more followers, on Trading Combine and Express Funded accounts. Live Funded accounts cannot use it (source).

• The lead needs the smallest size. The lead account must have the lowest maximum position size in the group.
• Followers lose some limits. Trade limits, symbol blocks and contract limits are not available on follower accounts; a personal daily loss limit and profit target are.
• Scaling tiers can disconnect it. If the lead and a follower are on different scaling plan tiers, the copier may disconnect at the start of a new day.

It only reaches Topstep accounts. Any outside tool, including any third-party copier, connects through the TopstepX API, which costs $29 a month as of November 2026 (source).

WealthCharts with OmniProp

WealthCharts has a trade copier in its prop trading section. Each strategy has one instrument, a leader, a set of followers and its own ratio, and a Cross setting copies a mini as a micro. Followers that fall out of sync are marked “Desynced” and flattened (source).

OmniProp extends that copier to several prop firms in one web session; WealthCharts describes it as copy trading across multiple prop firms (source). Two limits from its own documentation:

• Partner firms only. You need an account with a prop firm WealthCharts partners with.
• Per browser session. Copying has to be switched on again when you open WealthCharts in a new tab or window.

WealthCharts lists one plan, Full Membership, at $79 a month, which includes OmniProp and its prop firm integrations (source). This is where the “free” in a built-in copier depends on the platform: the copier has no price of its own, but the platform does. Apex and Tradeify list WealthCharts among their connections, so check what your firm includes.

Quantower Copy Trading

Quantower has a Copy Trading panel, still marked beta, and its license table lists it in every version including the free one (source). Since version 1.140.1 it can copy from one connection to another, with symbol mapping for mini to micro (source).

The catch is the connection limit. The free version allows one active connection, so it can only copy between accounts on that one connection. Copying to another prop firm or login needs a licence that allows more connections; the All-in-One licence is $70 a month, with discounts for paying three, six or twelve months ahead (source).

Quantower’s example pairs CQG with Rithmic. We did not find Tradovate named as a copy trading connection in its documentation, so check yours before you plan around it. Like any local copier, it only copies while the platform is running.

Tradesea SecureCopy

Tradesea has a built-in copier called SecureCopy. It copies a leader’s trades to followers on Tradesea’s own servers, so it keeps running when the follower tab is closed. Flatten, exit and cancel are copied too, and a failed action is retried (source).

• Fixed limits. Three copy groups per trader, ten followers per group, and a follower can be sized up to three times the leader.
• Follower limits are cleared. Saving a group clears the personal daily loss limit, personal daily profit target and position risk brackets on the followers.

Tradesea’s documentation does not say whether a group can span two prop firms. Tradesea runs on Rithmic and is offered through prop firms, which set the price; we found no separate price for SecureCopy.

Tickblaze

Tickblaze has a copier built into the platform. It runs locally on your desktop, and Tickblaze says it can copy between any number of brokers or prop firms at once, with per-account maximum loss and gain limits and mini to micro mapping (source).

The connections it names are CQG, Rithmic and Interactive Brokers. Tradovate is not among them, so check yours. The copier is included in every Tickblaze plan; the cheapest, TB Light, is $495 a year, about $41 a month, with a 14-day trial (source). Some prop firms partner with Tickblaze and give access through their accounts.

Deepcharts

Deepcharts has a Trade Copier, still marked beta, made for prop firm traders. You set a parent account and one or more children in a group, run several groups at once, and only the symbols you add to a group are copied. With bracket orders in client mode, Deepcharts has to stay open and online; server mode does not, but not every broker supports it (source).

Its pricing page describes the copier as working across multiple accounts, prop firms or brokerages, and names dxFeed, Rithmic and CQG as connections; Tradovate is not among them. Plans list at $45, $69 and $125 a month, and the page does not say which of them includes the copier (source).

“Integrated” is not always built in: Hyperprop

Hyperprop lists “Integrated Copy Trading” on its homepage, powered by Tradesyncer (source). Hyperprop’s own setup guide describes how it works: you create a Tradesyncer account, add your Hyperprop account there, and Tradesyncer copies the trades. The guide mentions a 7-day trial that needs a payment card (source).

So the copier is not part of Hyperprop. Hyperprop is connected to an outside copier, and that copier is a subscription of its own: as of November 2026, Tradesyncer’s cheapest plan is $49 a month (source). That is not a problem in itself; it just belongs in the sum when you compare costs.

NinjaTrader: no native copier

NinjaTrader has no built-in tool to copy trades across connected accounts, as its own support staff say on its forum (source). Copying there is done with third-party add-ons, which are separate products with their own prices.

What they have in common

Each built-in copier is tied to its own platform, and several to a login or a set of firms. That is fine as long as all your accounts live where the copier lives. It stops working the day one account sits somewhere else: at another firm, under another login, or on another platform.

That is also the question to ask before paying for a standalone copier. If one built-in copier covers every account you trade, you probably do not need one.
