Tradesyncer

Tradesyncer is a trade copier: it watches one account, the lead, and repeats the orders placed there on other accounts, the followers. It’s built for futures traders who run the same trades on several accounts, often prop-firm evaluation or funded accounts, and it runs in the cloud rather than on the trader’s computer. This review is based on Tradesyncer’s official website, help center and terms, checked on 18 October 2026. We haven’t tested Tradesyncer ourselves, so it doesn’t assess copy speed, reliability or execution quality.

What Tradesyncer is

Tradesyncer is operated by Tradesyncer B.V., based in Amsterdam. Besides the trade copier it offers a trading journal, risk tools and a prop-firm cost tracker; this review covers the copier. The workflow is short: connect each account’s broker or data connection, choose a lead account, set which accounts follow it and at what size, then trade the lead account as usual. Tradesyncer copies market, stop, limit and bracket orders placed there.

Because the copier runs on Tradesyncer’s servers, it doesn’t need a computer left on, a VPS or a local copier application. The connections to each broker still have to stay healthy, and Tradesyncer’s own FAQ says execution depends on the broker, the connection and market conditions.

Trade copying vs signal automation

Trade copiers and signal-automation tools can both put the same trade on several accounts, but they start from different places.

• Signal automation, such as TradersPost and PickMyTrade, turns an alert or a strategy signal, usually from TradingView, into orders on connected accounts. Both can send one signal to more than one account. Our TradersPost vs PickMyTrade comparison covers that workflow.
• Trade copying starts from trades actually placed on a lead account, by hand or from the trader’s platform, and mirrors them to followers.

The categories overlap. PickMyTrade has its own Manual Trade Copier, which repeats trades placed by hand in TradingView on linked Tradovate accounts, with one admin account and brackets only on market-order entries. Tradesyncer’s difference is scope: it copies between accounts on different connections, such as from a Tradovate account to a Rithmic or ProjectX account. Traders whose accounts all sit under one broker login may also want to check that platform’s own tools first; Tradovate, for example, describes a Group Trade feature that places one trade for a group of accounts.

Connections, platforms and prop-firm accounts

Tradesyncer connects to accounts through their broker or data connection, and its help center documents how to add five of them:

• Tradovate, through Tradovate’s own login (OAuth); Tradesyncer says it doesn’t store those credentials.
• Rithmic and dxFeed, by entering the account’s username and password.
• ProjectX, with a platform username and an API key. This needs a separate ProjectX API access subscription, and ProjectX’s own built-in copier has to be switched off.
• Hyperprop, with the Hyperprop login email and a Hyperprop API key. Hyperprop’s own copy trading has to be turned off for copied accounts.

Its support list also names Volumetrica and TradeSea “and many more” without setup details.

Trading platforms are a separate question. Tradesyncer says traders can use the platform they prefer as long as they trade the lead account; its help center confirms this for TradingView, and its homepage shows logos for platforms including NinjaTrader, ATAS, Sierra Chart and Quantower. Whether a particular platform-and-connection combination works for a given account is worth confirming with Tradesyncer before relying on it. Both prop-firm and regular broker accounts can be connected.

Sizing: ratios and E-mini to Micro

Each follower can trade a different size from the lead:

• Ratio. A 2x ratio turns a 2-contract lead entry into 4 contracts on that follower. Ratios are set per contract and contract month; other contracts copy at 1x, and the ratio has to be set again after a rollover.
• Cross Order. A follower can receive the Micro version of the lead’s E-mini trade, or the reverse, for ES and MES, NQ and MNQ, and YM and MYM.

Tradesyncer lists the contracts it supports across equity index, currency, agricultural, energy, metal and crypto futures.

Brackets and order types: what is and isn’t copied

Brackets are where the documented limits matter most. Tradesyncer copies a bracket with one take profit and one stop loss. It doesn’t support:

• multiple targets or stops;
• stop-limit orders;
• trailing stops and trailing stop-limits;
• auto breakeven and auto trail.

Stops and targets can still be moved by hand, and those changes are copied.

How a bracket reaches a follower depends on the two connections involved. Tradesyncer publishes a leader-by-follower table for this. The documented combinations can be summarised as follows:

• Any ProjectX follower, whatever the leader: Tradesyncer copies the bracket as market execution, so the follower enters and exits with market orders. Tradesyncer attributes this to ProjectX’s API.
• A ProjectX leader with a Tradovate, dxFeed, Rithmic or Hyperprop follower: the target and stop are copied as two separate orders, and Tradesyncer cancels one when the other fills.
• A Rithmic leader or a Rithmic follower, in the remaining combinations: the entry is copied first, and the target and stop follow once it fills.
• Between Tradovate, dxFeed and Hyperprop accounts: the entry, target and stop are copied together.

Turning on Market Execution Only mode overrides the table and copies every combination as market execution: pending orders aren’t copied, and each fill on the lead becomes a market order on the follower. Tradesyncer notes that price can move between the two fills, so a follower can get a different price from the lead.

When copies go wrong: protection, rejections and API limits

Copies are separate orders on separate accounts, so they can drift apart. Tradesyncer documents three main causes and one safety net.

• Broker or prop-firm rejections. A follower order that breaks the account’s risk settings, such as maximum quantity or open positions, is rejected by the broker. Tradesyncer says it can’t prevent this.
• Partial fills and timing. Followers can fill differently from the lead, especially on pending orders.
• Tradovate’s API limit. Tradovate allows 5,000 API requests per hour, and every order, change and cancel counts. If the limit is exceeded, copying stops until it resets, Tradovate can restrict API access further, and followers can fall out of line. Tradesyncer suggests market orders, Market Execution Only mode and fewer stop or target changes to stay under it.
• Follower Protection. Tradesyncer documents two cases. If the leader’s position goes to zero while a follower still holds one, copying pauses, every account on that symbol is flattened, including the leader, and open orders are cancelled. If a follower holds a position while the leader has none, for example after a manual trade, that follower’s position is closed. The delay before it acts can be set from 1 to 3 seconds. The documentation doesn’t say whether it’s on by default.

Tradesyncer also offers a daily loss limit and daily profit trigger, which it applies to Tradovate accounts through the API, and lockouts that stop copying within Tradesyncer but don’t block manual trading at the broker.

Tradesyncer’s terms make the trader solely responsible for trades executed through the copier, and limit its liability to one month’s subscription fee.

Copying and your prop firm’s rules

Prop firms set their own rules on copying trades between accounts, and they can differ by account type and change over time. Before copying, check your firm’s current official rules for the accounts you plan to link.

Pricing, trial, cancellation and refunds

Tradesyncer has three plans, billed monthly:

• Basic, $49/month: 2 connections, up to 10 accounts per connection.
• Pro, $99/month: 4 connections, up to 20 accounts per connection.
• Flex, $149/month: unlimited connections, 120 accounts included, with more available.

The pricing page says yearly billing saves up to 30%, and Tradesyncer’s help center lists yearly prices of $34, $69 and $104 per month; it doesn’t give annual totals. The cost of extra connections or accounts isn’t published. A ProjectX connection also needs a ProjectX API subscription, paid to ProjectX.

Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. A card is required, and the trial converts to a paid plan on day 7 unless it’s cancelled. The terms allow one trial per user and payment method.

Cancelling keeps access until the end of the billing period. Payments are non-refundable under the terms; Tradesyncer may refund in exceptional cases, less a 20% administrative fee.

What we couldn’t assess

This review doesn’t test Tradesyncer, so it can’t confirm:

• how quickly trades are copied;
• how it behaves during disconnections or busy markets;
• how often follower fills differ from the lead;
• its security beyond what Tradesyncer states.

Who Tradesyncer is best for

• Futures traders copying their own trades across several accounts on different connections, who want the copier to run without a computer left on.
• Traders mixing contract sizes across accounts, using ratios or E-mini to Micro mapping.
• Traders who can work within one target and one stop per bracket.

Who should look elsewhere

• Traders who need multiple targets, trailing stops or auto breakeven on every follower.
• Traders automating TradingView alerts rather than copying a lead account: TradersPost and PickMyTrade are built for signal automation.
• Traders whose accounts all sit under one broker login, who may find their platform’s own grouping tools enough.
• Prop-firm traders who haven’t confirmed their firm allows copying between their accounts.
