Can I copy trade on my prop firm?

Pick your futures prop firm: whether it lets you copy trades, how many accounts, which copiers, in its own words.

Updated 5 November 2026. Runs in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded.

Example: five firms, your own accountsStandard FTMO Account, in FTMO's words

Copy trading at Lucid Trading

Allowed, with limits

Yes. Lucid permits trade copiers, with up to 5 funded accounts per household; any hedge between your accounts, a copier's included, is banned, and on Live it means a permanent ban.

5 funded accounts fit under Lucid Trading's cap of 5.

What catches copiers out at Lucid Trading

  • Hedging across your own accounts, other people's or other firms is prohibited, including mini against micro and correlated contracts (long ES in one account, short NQ in another).
  • You carry any copier error: Lucid says traders are fully responsible for software malfunctions.
  • Copying another person or a signal service: Lucid's pages don't say.

“Automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted”

“Up to 5 active funded accounts per household or family.”

“Hedging live accounts is strictly prohibited by both Lucid and the CME. This includes any copytrader issues that may arise.”

Two lines run through every firm that writes about it: copying is for your own accounts only, never another trader's or a signal service's, and a copier must never leave you long in one account and short in another. Lucid, Elite Trader Funding, FundedNext Futures and FTMO Futures name correlated contracts too (long ES here and short NQ there is a hedge), and Take Profit Trader names the mini and micro of one contract (ES and MES). A copier that lags, misses a fill or flattens one account and not another can create that hedge for you, and every firm here that speaks to it holds you responsible.

What changed lately

Page edits in the last few weeks, by each page's own date. A firm rarely says what it changed, so this is what the page says now.

  • Take Profit Trader re-edited its Trade Copier Policy on 2026-10-22; its approved list reads as it did when we last read it on 2026-10-17.
  • Elite Trader Funding's copier list was edited on 2026-10-30 and its Terms of Service took effect on 2026-11-04: any copier not on the list needs ETF's written authorisation.
  • FTMO Futures' Forbidden Trading Practices were edited on 2026-10-30: copying across your own accounts is permitted, following anyone else is forbidden at every stage.
  • Topstep's Express Funded Account and payout pages were edited on 2026-11-03: copying switches off while a payout processes and must be switched back on.
  • Bulenox's Terms say “Updated October 2026”, and its help center lists a Tradovate connection alongside Rithmic.
  • Earn2Trade edited its copier answer on 2026-10-22: still no trade copiers on any program.

Tradesyncer, from its own pages

Read 2026-11-05. We're a Tradesyncer affiliate; this section is its own words and numbers.

Tradesyncer copies one leader account's trades to follower accounts in the cloud, across brokers: it connects to Tradovate, Rithmic, ProjectX (TopstepX), Volumetrica/dxFeed and Hyperprop, and you keep trading in NinjaTrader, TradingView, Quantower or whatever sits on top. It maps ES to MES and NQ to MNQ, sets a size ratio per contract, and adds session lockout and daily loss tools (the daily loss limit and profit trigger work on Tradovate accounts only). It shows an economic calendar, but we found no setting on its pages that blocks trading around news; it doesn't copy trailing stops or stop-limit orders; and it allows one connection per platform per firm. Its own pages say to copy only accounts you own, where your firm allows it.

PlanMonthlyBilled yearlyLoginsAccounts
Basic$49$412 a year ($34 a month)2Up to 10 per connection (total of 20)
Pro$99$832 a year ($69 a month)4Up to 20 per connection (total of 80)
Flex$149$1,252 a year ($104 a month)Unlimited120 by default, with the option to add more as needed

A 7-day free trial needs a card and charges on day 7. Its terms: “All subscription payments are final and non-refundable for the current billing period. In exceptional cases, Tradesyncer may issue a discretionary refund. Any such refund will be subject to an administrative fee of 20%, deducted from the total refund amount.” Prices are from its pricing page. Other copiers the firms name (TradeCopia, Affordable Indicators, Replikanto, your platform's own) are just as valid where a firm lists them; TopstepX's and Tradovate's copiers come with the platform. The copy trading calculator prices your own count of accounts and shows what one copied loser costs all of them.

We're in Tradesyncer's affiliate programme and no other copier's: if you sign up through our partner link and pay, Tradesyncer pays us a share. Every copier named here is described from its own pages, and every firm's rule from the firm's, so the answer is the same either way. We're in FTMO's affiliate programme: if you open a new FTMO account through our partner link and buy, FTMO may pay us a commission. We have no deal with any other firm named here, and the comparison is the same either way. No other firm here pays us.

Where every answer comes from

Each firm's own page, with its own last edit. The firm's current page binds you, not this one.

Firm rulebooks in full: our Bulenox rules and Topstep scaling plan guides, and prop firm rules decoded for the terms every firm uses. We sell the Prop Firm Challenge Toolkit, a TradingView indicator that shows your daily-loss and drawdown floors in dollars on your chart; whether copying is allowed is your firm's call, and its dashboard is the record. 6 of 13 firms here get a Tradesyncer link in the checker.

Method and privacy

Method: Every answer is read from the firm's own help center, rules or terms on 2026-11-05 and quotes the sentence it rests on, with that page's last edit. Where a firm's pages disagree or say nothing, the page says so instead of guessing.

Calculations run entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded. Your last numbers stay in this browser so you can pick up where you left off; Forget them clears them. A link with your numbers carries them after the # sign, which browsers do not send to servers, and the page takes them out of the address before any analytics loads. Copy and download actions save your calculation locally. The site may record coarse tool actions under its privacy policy, without inputs, results, file contents or filenames.

Common questions

Which prop firms allow copy trading?

Of 13 futures firms read on 2026-11-05, Lucid Trading, Topstep (Combine and Express Funded, with TopstepX's own copier), Take Profit Trader, MyFundedFutures, Elite Trader Funding, FundedNext Futures and FTMO Futures allow copying between your own accounts, and Top One Futures between accounts of the same type and size. Alpha Futures and Bulenox contradict themselves, Earn2Trade bans copiers, and Apex's pages and Tradeify's help center couldn't be read.

Can you copy trade on Lucid Trading?

Yes. Lucid's help center says automated trading systems and trade copiers are permitted, with up to 5 funded accounts per household and 10 accounts in all. Hedging between your accounts is prohibited, and on Live a copier's hedge counts too: Lucid says violations end in a permanent ban.

Does Topstep allow copy trading?

Yes in the Trading Combine and on Express Funded Accounts, using the Trade Copier built into TopstepX, up to 5 XFAs and $750K of buying power. A Live Funded Account can't use the copier, and copying other traders is prohibited.

Which trade copiers does Take Profit Trader allow?

Its Trade Copier Policy (edited 2026-10-22) approves Tradesyncer, TradeCopia, Affordable Indicators, Replikanto Flowbot (Compliance Edition only) and platform-native copiers, only between accounts you own and control. Bots and algos stay banned, so the trades you copy must be placed by hand.

How many accounts can I copy trade at once?

As many funded accounts as a firm that allows copying lets you hold: 5 at Lucid, Topstep (Express Funded), Take Profit Trader and FundedNext Futures; up to 5 at MyFundedFutures with $25K and $50K accounts, fewer on some plans; 3 at FTMO Futures; 20 at Elite Trader Funding. None at Earn2Trade, which bans copiers. Evaluations usually have their own, higher limit.

Is copy trading other people allowed at prop firms?

Not at any firm here that addresses it: Topstep, Take Profit Trader, MyFundedFutures, Elite Trader Funding, FundedNext Futures, FTMO Futures, Tradeify, Top One Futures, Alpha Futures and Earn2Trade all ban copying another trader or a signal service. Copying is about your own accounts only.

Limits and trading risk

These tools calculate from your inputs, supported historical records or explicitly labelled teaching examples. They do not verify a live account, predict future returns or confirm that a broker or prop-firm rule has been met. Missing costs, floating losses and changed market conditions can materially change outcomes. Trading can lose the capital committed to it; check the stated method and your account specifications.
