How to Set Up your Trade Copier

To enable the Copy Trading functionality, select a Lead Account before checking which Follower Accounts you would like to include in your copier. After saving, you may confirm that the copy trading functionality is successfully enabled by checking your Accounts in the Header and the Account Selector.

Important: At the time of this writing, Follower Accounts must have a larger than or equal margin or max position size when compared to the Lead Account.

Trading in Follower Accounts

When Copy Trading is enabled, you will not be able to create, close or adjust orders in a Follower Account. This affects all components, including the DOM, the Order component, and the Chart.

To open, close, and adjust orders in the Follower Account, you will need to do so through the Lead Account.

Important: Orders, not Executions, are copied between accounts. This may result in differences in fills and P&L between the leader and follower accounts during periods of volatility.

Follower Accounts are blocked from trading
