Check the firm's copy trading rules first

Most prop firms let you copy between accounts you own, but each sets its own limits. Breaking them can cost you the account, so read the rules of every firm you copy into. See each firm's copy trading rules.

  1. Own accounts onlyCopying another trader, or letting someone else copy you, is banned almost everywhere.
  2. Capital capsMany firms add up every account traded with the same strategy and cap the total, for example $400K at FTMO and $300K at FundedNext.
  3. No hedging across accountsCopied accounts at one firm must trade in the same direction, so do not reverse-copy between them.
  4. Cloud or localA few firms do not allow cloud-based copiers. For the CFD platforms, run the local version of Heron Copier on your own Windows VPS instead.
  5. Evaluation vs fundedSome firms allow copying on evaluations but not on funded accounts, or only on certain account types.

Keep every account inside its rules

Each slave has its own settings, so accounts of different sizes at different firms can follow the same master.

  • Sizing per accountEquity-to-Equity, Lot Multiplier, Risk Multiplier, Fixed Lot or Fixed Risk, so a $10K and a $200K account each trade the right size.
  • Lot and contract capsPer-symbol lot caps keep a slave within its plan's position or contract limit.
  • Drawdown thresholdsBalance and equity thresholds stop copying to an account before it reaches its loss limit.
  • Stop loss requiredBlock Trade Without SL skips trades the master opens without a stop loss.
  • Each firm's symbolsSymbol aliases and blacklists handle names such as US30.cash or NAS100, and keep a slave out of products its plan does not allow.
  • CFD to futuresAlias a CFD to a futures contract, such as NAS100=MNQ, to copy a CFD account into a futures evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

Is copy trading allowed at prop firms?

Most prop firms allow copying between accounts you own, within limits such as a combined capital cap and no hedging across accounts. Copying other traders is almost always banned. Rules differ by firm and change over time, so check each firm's current rules before you link accounts.

Can I copy trades between different prop firms?

Yes. Heron Copier copies in any direction between MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXtrade, MatchTrader, TradeLocker, Tradovate / NinjaTrader, Rithmic and TopstepX, so a master at one firm can feed accounts at several others. See every supported copy direction.

Can I copy a CFD prop firm account to a futures prop firm account?

Yes. Map each CFD symbol to a futures contract with a symbol alias, for example NAS100=MNQ or XAUUSD=MGC. Futures slaves trade whole contracts, so check the copied size on an evaluation before you rely on it. See MT5 to Tradovate for an example.

What if my prop firm does not allow cloud-based copiers?

For CFD platforms, run the local version of Heron Copier on your own Windows PC or VPS. It is included with every paid license and supports unlimited master and slave accounts. Tradovate / NinjaTrader, Rithmic and TopstepX are available in the cloud only.

How many prop firm accounts can I copy to?

Each paid license includes 2 cloud accounts, and you can add as many extra cloud accounts as you need for $8 a month each. The local version has no account limit. Your prop firm may cap how many accounts you can hold.

Are the prices on this page current?

They are the firms' list prices before discount codes, checked on 15 October 2026. Prop firms change prices and run discounts often, so check the firm's own site before you buy.
