How copy trading works

How copy trading works in Trada — a copier maps one master account to many follower accounts, copying every trade in real time with per-account control.

Copy trading is the core of Trada. A copier copies every position from one master account (the sender) to one or more follower accounts (the receivers) — across six Forex and CFD platforms, in real time. Each receiver is sized and controlled on its own.

You manage copiers on Copy Trading: the list view at a glance, and a detail page per copier for configuration and live monitoring.

A copier's detail page — performance KPIs, the sender (master) account, the receiver accounts, and live open trades.

The model

• A copier connects one sender to one or more receivers.

• When the sender opens a trade, each receiver opens its own version based on its settings. When the sender closes or modifies a trade, receivers follow.

• Copying runs as each trade happens, with a sub-second target latency.

A copier's receivers must be in the same market as its sender. Every account you can connect today is a Forex or CFD account, so every copier today is a Forex copier.

What you control

Each receiver copies independently, so a $5,000 evaluation and a $50,000 funded account can take their own size from the same master. Per receiver, you set:

• Lot sizing — one of three modes, including fixed % risk. See Lot-sizing modes.

• Stop-loss and take-profit — inherited, fixed, or refined. See Stop-loss & take-profit modes.

• Risk protection — Daily and Overall limits that close the copier's positions, stop the copier, or both, plus a cap on open positions. See Risk protection.

• Copy direction — both sides, buy only, or sell only.

At the copier level you also set working hours and symbol mapping.

Supported platforms

Copy trading works across the accounts you already use:

Market	Platforms	Availability
Forex / CFD	MetaTrader 4 · MetaTrader 5 · cTrader · TradeLocker · DXTrade · MatchTrader	Available
Futures	NinjaTrader · Rithmic · DXFeed	Coming — can't be connected yet

A sender and its receivers can sit on different platforms and brokers — symbol mapping handles the naming differences between them.

Account rules

• An account can be a sender in one copier and a receiver in another.

• An account can be a receiver in several copiers at once.

• An account cannot be both sender and receiver in the same copier.

Plan limits

Plans cap how many copiers you can run at once:

Plan	Copiers
Free	1
Starter	1
Pro	2
Elite	Unlimited
Enterprise	Unlimited

There is no limit on receivers per copier beyond your account quota. See Plans & pricing.
