Tradovate prop firms and their copy trading rules
Last verified 31 October 2026, against each firm's own rules
As of October 2026, these eleven futures prop firms offer Tradovate accounts. For each one the table shows whether you may use a trade copier, whether you may copy to your own accounts at other firms, and how many funded accounts you can hold, with the source for every row. Most of them also offer Rithmic or other platforms; a Tradovate copier only reaches the accounts you run on Tradovate. Elite Trader Funding and Take Profit Trader only allow copiers from their own approved lists, and Syncopy is on neither.

Copier allowed — you may run a trade copier between your own accounts; “approved list” means only the copiers the firm names. Cross-firm — copying between an account at this firm and your own account at another firm. “In its rules” means the firm publishes it; “support, in writing” means its support team confirmed it to us, which is weaker than a published rule. Max funded — the most funded accounts you can hold at once. Evaluation accounts are counted separately at every firm here. Verify with the firm directly — rules change.
What the table does not show
- Hedging across accounts. Apex, Tradeify, Lucid and BluSky forbid holding opposite positions in different accounts you control, and Lucid names hedging between firms explicitly. A copier that leaves a follower on the wrong side breaks that rule.
- MyFundedFutures. Five funded accounts only while all of them are $25k or $50k; one $100k or $150k account brings the limit to three.
- TradeDay. Funded Live and Funded Sim accounts cannot be traded at the same time, nor copied between. All of your accounts have to sit at one broker.
- Phidias. The limit is five accounts per type (CASH Premium, CASH Fundamental, Express to Live), and a 150K CASH account counts double. Phidias may suspend identical strategies that exceed its capital limit.
- Hola Prime. Its copy rules speak only of your own Hola Prime accounts under one user profile, and the lead account must have the lowest maximum position size of all your accounts. Forex and futures accounts together are capped at $800k.
- Firms that are not here. Bulenox, Earn2Trade and Legends Trading offer Tradovate (Bulenox has listed it among its platforms since November 2026), but we could not check their copier rules against their own published sources, so they are left out until we can.

Frequently asked questions
Which prop firms use Tradovate?
As of October 2026, these futures prop firms offer Tradovate accounts: Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify, FundedNext Futures, Lucid Trading, TradeDay, Phidias, BluSky Trading, Hola Prime, Elite Trader Funding and Take Profit Trader. Most of them also offer Rithmic or other platforms, so Tradovate is a choice you make when you set up the account. The list covers the firms we could check against their own published rules; it is not every firm that offers Tradovate.
Which Tradovate prop firms allow cross-firm copy trading?
Not all of them. FundedNext Futures states in its own rules that copying between your accounts there and your own accounts at other prop firms is allowed. Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify and Phidias confirmed it to us in writing. Lucid Trading's rules permit copiers and do not limit them to Lucid accounts. TradeDay allows copying into its accounts from your own accounts elsewhere. BluSky Trading, Hola Prime and Elite Trader Funding allow copiers but do not address cross-firm copying. Take Profit Trader does not permit it. Verify each firm's rules directly before setting up a cross-firm configuration.
Which Tradovate prop firms allow trade copiers?
All eleven allow copying between your own accounts. Elite Trader Funding and Take Profit Trader only allow copiers on their approved lists: Tradesyncer, Tradecopia, Affordable Indicators, the compliance edition of Replikanto, and the platforms' own copy tools such as Tradovate Group Trade. The other nine do not restrict which copier you use. Each policy is about your own accounts; none of them allows copying another trader.
Can a Tradovate trade copier reach every account at these firms?
Only the accounts that run on Tradovate. Most of these firms also offer Rithmic, and some offer other platforms such as WealthCharts; an account set up on another platform cannot be reached through Tradovate. At Lucid Trading and Take Profit Trader, Tradovate belongs to the CQG accounts. At TradeDay all of your accounts have to be on the same broker.
What is cross-firm copy trading?
Cross-firm copy trading means mirroring trades from one prop firm account to another account at a different prop firm. A trader may hold accounts at multiple prop firms simultaneously and use a copier to replicate the same trading decisions across all of them. Each firm sets its own policy on whether this is permitted.
What is the difference between cross-firm and same-firm copy trading?
Same-firm copy trading replicates trades between accounts you hold at the same prop firm. Cross-firm copy trading replicates trades between accounts at different prop firms. Take Profit Trader, for example, allows same-firm copy trading with copiers on its approved list, but prohibits cross-firm.
Does a desktop copier count as automated trading?
The firms treat it separately. Apex Trader Funding prohibits automated trading, yet confirmed to us that copiers between your own accounts are fine. Phidias forbids fully automated trading and allows third-party copy software. Tradeify and FundedNext Futures allow bots under their own conditions. Every firm in this list has a copier policy apart from its rules on bots, and the table shows what that policy allows. Verify with the firm directly before relying on this distinction, as interpretations can change.
Is this list updated?
Yes. Each row is sourced from the firm's published rules or written confirmation from its support team, and the date at the top is the most recent full check. Firms whose rules we could not check against their own sources are not listed.
