For Traders Who Rely on TP/SL
Bracket Order Copier
Most trade copiers handle entries and break brackets. PropCopy mirrors the full bracket — entry, take-profit, stop-loss, and the OCO link — on every follower, with real-time propagation of any adjustments you make on the master.
The bracket problem
If you trade prop firm futures, your entries are almost always brackets. You set a stop and a target the moment you click buy or sell — that’s how you enforce risk per trade and that’s how the trailing drawdown rules force you to think.
Copying a bracket sounds simple. In practice, most copiers do it badly. They mirror the entry fast and then either skip the OCO link on the followers — so when the TP fills, the SL becomes a live runaway order — or they mirror the brackets at trade open but never propagate the adjustments you make mid-trade. You move your stop to break-even on the master and your followers are still sitting on the original stop two ticks away from your max loss.
On a personal account, that’s a bug. On a funded account with a daily loss limit and a trailing drawdown, it’s a blown account.
How PropCopy handles brackets
Exact TP and SL levels
The take-profit and stop-loss prices on the master copy verbatim to every follower’s bracket. No rounding, no ‘close enough,’ no derived-from-points math that breaks on a different contract size.
Real-time bracket adjustments
Move a stop to break-even, trail it tick by tick, or take a partial — the change propagates to every follower in real time. The brackets stay in sync with the master for the entire life of the trade.
True OCO on followers
Each follower’s bracket is a real OCO group, not two independent orders. When one side fills, the other cancels automatically — the way a bracket is supposed to behave, on every account, every time.
Per-follower TP/SL offsets
Want one follower running a tighter stop than the master? Configure an offset in ticks per account. The relative TP/SL placement on each follower stays consistent for every copied trade.
What gets mirrored from the master
- Bracket entry — market, limit, or stop entry orders
- Take-profit level — exact price on each follower (with optional per-follower offset in ticks)
- Stop-loss level — exact price on each follower (with optional offset)
- OCO link between TP and SL — preserved as a real OCO group on every follower
- Bracket adjustments mid-trade — move stop, change target, partial close all propagate
- Bracket cancellation — canceling on master cancels on every follower
- Partial fills on entry — bracket size adjusts to actual filled quantity
- Position sizing per follower — bracket quantity scales by fixed contracts, multiplier, or percent of balance
Bracket order copier FAQ
What is a bracket order?+
A bracket order is an entry order paired with two protective exit orders: a take-profit (TP) above the entry and a stop-loss (SL) below it (or the reverse for shorts). The two exits are linked as an OCO — one-cancels-other — so when one fills, the other is automatically canceled. Most prop firm traders place every entry as a bracket to enforce risk per trade.
Why don't most copiers handle brackets correctly?+
Two common failure modes. First, the copier mirrors the entry but skips the OCO link on followers — the TP and SL are placed but not connected, so when the TP fills, the SL is left as a live order. Second, the copier doesn't propagate bracket adjustments — you move the stop on the master to break-even and the followers stay at the original stop. Either failure is a rule violation waiting to happen.
How does PropCopy handle brackets?+
PropCopy mirrors the full bracket — entry, TP, SL, and the OCO logic — on every follower. When you adjust a bracket on the master (move a stop, change a target, partial-close), the adjustment propagates to every follower in real time. The brackets on each follower are independent OCO groups, so cancellation behavior matches what would happen if you placed the bracket manually on that account.
Can I use different TP/SL levels on each follower?+
Yes. Per-follower offsets let you shift the TP and SL by a configurable number of ticks. Useful if you want followers running tighter stops than the master, or if you want one account testing wider targets without manually re-placing every trade.
What if I cancel a bracket on the master mid-trade?+
The cancellation propagates. If you remove the SL on the master, the SL is removed on every follower. If you cancel the entire bracket before fill, every follower's bracket is canceled too. The point is that the followers stay in sync with the master, not that they make their own decisions.
Does this work on both the Web Copier and the NT8 add-on?+
Yes. Full bracket support is in both products. The Web Copier handles Tradovate brackets natively; the NT8 add-on uses the NinjaTrader ATM strategy engine to manage brackets on each follower.
What about partial fills on the bracket entry?+
PropCopy mirrors the actual filled quantity. If your master fills 2 of 3 contracts, each follower gets a bracket sized for 2 contracts (or scaled per its sizing mode), not 3. The TP and SL quantities adjust to match the actual position.
