A TradeLocker to TradeLocker trade copier is for traders who hold several TradeLocker accounts, often challenges or funded accounts at different prop firms that adopted the platform. You trade one account from its built-in TradingView charts, in the browser or on mobile, and Heron Copier repeats every open, modification, partial close and close on the others.
Of the three web platforms Heron Copier supports, TradeLocker is the one where partial closes reach the slaves. If you take profit in stages, closing part of the master position closes part of each slave position too, while DXtrade and MatchTrader slaves only follow full closes. Both sides track positions one by one, so every master position maps to exactly one slave position, and opposite trades on the same symbol stay separate. The master and the slaves can belong to different prop firms, and per-symbol lot caps keep each slave within its own firm's size limits.
It runs in the Heron Copier cloud with no VPS and nothing to install, or locally on your own VPS. Every paid license includes both.
How to set up TradeLocker to TradeLocker copying
- Add your TradeLocker account as the master in the dashboard. Connect it with your TradeLocker email, password and server.
- Add your TradeLocker account as the slave and pick the master it copies from. Connect it with your TradeLocker email, password and server.
- Choose one of the six volume sizing methods for the slave and, if the brokers name symbols differently, add a symbol suffix or aliases.
- Launch. Cloud accounts are usually online in under 60 seconds, and the dashboard shows every copied trade, balance and position live.
About TradeLocker

Things to check before you start
- Each slave has its own volume sizing, so accounts of different sizes can copy the same trades. The default, Equity-to-Equity, keeps the risk of every slave in proportion to the master.
- Two TradeLocker brokers can still name symbols differently. Set a suffix or aliases on the slave if the names don't match.
- TradeLocker reports new trades at about one request per second, so very fast scalps can reach the slaves with a short delay.
- TradeLocker accepts about one API request per second, so bursts of many trades are copied one after another. It suits swing and intraday trading better than scalping.
Frequently asked questions
Can one TradeLocker master copy to several TradeLocker accounts?
Yes. Add as many TradeLocker slaves as you need, each with its own volume sizing, symbol mapping and risk limits. In the cloud every account uses one cloud seat, and the local version has no account limit.
Can the TradeLocker accounts be at different brokers or prop firms?
Yes. That is the most common setup. Symbol suffixes and aliases handle different symbol names, and each slave has its own volume sizing.
What happens if a trade fails to copy?
Turn on failed trade copy notifications to get an e-mail alert. The account logs in the dashboard also show the reason, for example a symbol that doesn't exist on the slave or a size below the minimum.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days with 2 cloud accounts. During the trial a slave copies every trade at a fixed 0.01 lot; a paid license unlocks the other sizing methods.
