How to copy trades from TradingView to multiple Tradovate accounts

Where Group Trade stops helping

Tradovate's Group Trade sends one order to several accounts, for free. But Apex's help center is explicit: Group Trade cannot be used within TradingView and is only available from within the Tradovate platform (source). The same page notes that Group Trade does not allow bracket orders. And it only groups accounts under one brokerage login, so accounts at two different prop firms cannot share a group in any case.

We tested it on simulation accounts in October 2026, with two accounts in a Tradovate group. A plain order placed from TradingView reached both accounts. An order placed from the Order Panel with a stop loss and take profit attached reached only the account it was placed on. So for a single order Group Trade does work from TradingView, despite what Apex's help center says; for a bracket it does not.

For a TradingView trader that means Group Trade covers entries without a stop or target, on accounts under one login. The moment you attach a bracket — which, as the section below shows, is the only way to give an entry a stop from TradingView — it stops working.

The two kinds of tool that copy brackets too

Alert-based services

A TradingView alert sends a webhook to a service, and the service places orders on your connected accounts. This is built for automation: it copies what your alerts send, so a trade you click by hand on the chart is not copied unless an alert fires for it. Because it is automation, check your prop firm's rules first; several firms restrict or prohibit automated trading on their accounts.

A copier that watches your Tradovate account

The other approach ignores TradingView entirely. When you place an order from the chart, it arrives at your Tradovate account like any other order, and a copier watching that account sees it and mirrors it to your followers. You keep trading exactly as you do now; where you clicked makes no difference. This is the approach for discretionary traders who want their own manual trades on several accounts.

Stops and targets placed from TradingView

TradingView's help center sets out how brackets work with Tradovate (source):

• Attach them when you place the order. Stop loss and take profit can only be added in the Order Panel, as part of the order.
• Not afterwards. They cannot be added to an order that is already placed, or to a position that is already running.
• Dragging works. Levels placed with the order can be moved on the chart.

For copying this matters more than it seems. A follower can only receive a stop that exists on the leader. Enter from the chart's buy and sell buttons without a bracket, and there is no stop to copy; TradingView will not let you attach one to the running position afterwards. If you copy trades, place entries through the Order Panel with the bracket attached.

How Syncopy handles it

Syncopy is the second kind of tool. It does not connect to TradingView at all; it watches your leader account at Tradovate. An order you place from TradingView arrives there like any other, and Syncopy copies it to your followers in proportion to each one's size setting. A bracket placed from the Order Panel arrives with its stop and target, and those are placed on each follower too. Dragging the levels on your TradingView chart moves them on the followers, and a partial take profit carries over too: when part of the position is closed on the leader, each follower closes the same proportion of its own.

What it does not do: it does not read TradingView alerts or run strategies. Pine Script and webhook automation are planned for after version 1. How Syncopy behaves when something goes wrong — a dropped connection, a rejected follower order — is set out on what Syncopy does when something goes wrong.
