A note on this comparison

This page focuses on what PropCopy offers and the questions you should put to any copier before paying. Confirm current Tradecopia details directly with the vendor at tradecopia.com before deciding.
What PropCopy offers
Two products. Web Copier is cloud-based and built directly on the Tradovate API — the platform powering most futures prop firms today (Apex, TopStep, Tradeify, MyFundedFutures, TakeProfitTrader, TradeDay, and more). Tiered pricing from $19.99/mo for 5 accounts up to $99.99/mo for unlimited.
NT8 Add-on runs natively inside NinjaTrader 8 and copies across any NT8-connected broker. $29.99/mo, unlimited local accounts. For traders whose stack doesn’t live entirely on Tradovate, or who want a local-machine option.
Underneath both: sub-500ms propagation, full OCO bracket order copying with real-time bracket adjustments, per-follower position sizing (fixed, multiplier, or percent of balance), and per-account daily loss limits.

Questions to ask before buying any copier
Whether you’re evaluating PropCopy, Tradecopia, or anything else, these are the questions that decide whether a copier actually works for serious prop firm trading.
- 1
Does it natively support the platforms you actually trade on?
Tradovate, NinjaTrader 8, MT4, MT5, cTrader, Rithmic — each is a different integration and not every copier covers all of them. List your accounts first, match to platform support second.
- 2
Are bracket orders mirrored as real OCO groups on followers?
Many copiers place the entry but only loosely couple the TP and SL on followers. When one side fills, the other should auto-cancel. Verify this directly — it’s the difference between a working copier and a rule violation.
- 3
Do mid-trade bracket adjustments propagate?
You move your stop to break-even on the master halfway through the trade. Does the follower’s stop move too? Some copiers answer no. That’s a deal-breaker for active management.
- 4
What does the position sizing model look like per follower?
Fixed contracts is the simplest. Multiplier of master and percent of account balance are the modes that matter for running mixed combine sizes simultaneously.
- 5
How is failure handled if the copier service goes down?
The honest answer is: a cloud copier that drops mid-trade is bad. Ask about uptime, failover, and what happens to in-flight orders. Local copiers have their own failure modes (your machine reboots), so this isn’t cloud-vs-local — it’s “what specifically goes wrong and how does the vendor handle it.”
- 6
Are prop firm rules respected at the copier level?
Daily loss limits per account, max position size, copy pause toggles. Without these, a copier exposes every follower to the worst single decision you make on the master.
- 7
What does the pricing actually look like at your account count?
Per-account, per-tier, per-connection — every vendor prices differently. Plug your real numbers in before comparing the headline price.
