Add & configure a receiver

Add follower accounts to a copier and configure each one independently across three tabs — Trading, SL & TP, and Protection.

A receiver is a follower account that copies the sender. A copier can have many receivers, and each one is configured independently — its own size, its own stop-loss and take-profit handling, and its own risk limits. No receiver inherits another's settings.

Add a receiver

In the copier's Receiver Accounts section, choose Add Receiver (enabled once a sender exists). The dialog has three tabs:

The Add Receiver dialog — the Trading tab, where you set the account, copy direction, and lot-sizing mode.

Tab	What you set
Trading	Account, copy direction, lot-sizing mode, and advanced execution options.
SL & TP	How stop-loss and take-profit carry over to this receiver. See Stop-loss & take-profit modes.
Protection	Daily and Overall risk limits, the actions they trigger, and a cap on open positions. See Risk protection.

Trading tab

Account — pick from accounts matching the copier's market type, excluding the sender and any account already added as a receiver.

Copy direction — choose how the sender's trades map onto this receiver:

• All (Both) (default) — copy buys and sells.

• Buy Only — copy buy trades only.

• Sell Only — copy sell trades only.

Lot-sizing mode — how each trade is sized on this receiver. There are three modes, covered in Lot-sizing modes.

Advanced settings

Each advanced option has an in-app explainer. Open the collapsible Advanced section to set:

Setting	What it does
Max Lot Size	Caps the lot size after the multiplier is applied. Larger computed sizes are reduced to this value.
Max Slippage (pips)	Skips the trade if the receiver's entry price is worse than the sender's by more than this amount.
Force Minimum Lot Size	Bumps a calculated lot up to the broker's minimum when it falls below the threshold. Useful with risk-based sizing on a smaller receiver.
Reverse Positions	Copies in the opposite direction — buys become sells and sells become buys.

Two more options, Copy placed orders and Copy only market orders, are shown as Coming soon and can't be switched on yet. Today Trada copies open positions, not pending orders: when the sender's pending order fills, the new position is copied like any other trade.

Leave Reverse Positions off on prop firm accounts. Copying in the opposite direction conflicts with prop firm trading rules and terms of service.

Edit a receiver

Use the Edit (pencil) action on a receiver row to reopen the same three tabs with current values. The account itself is locked — to copy to a different account, remove this receiver and add the new one. Saved changes take effect immediately; trades already open are not retroactively changed, and new trades use the new settings.

The receiver table

Each receiver row shows balance, daily P&L, open orders, open P&L (real-time), its configured multiplier, and its copy direction, plus per-row actions:

• Edit — reopen the configuration tabs.

• Remove — take the receiver off the copier. Open trades stay open; other receivers and the sender are unaffected.
