How to copy trade across multiple prop firms
Each prop firm gives you its own login on its own connection (Tradovate, Rithmic, ProjectX or an in-house platform). Copying from one firm to another needs a copier that sits on top of those connections, and both firms have to allow it.

Is copying allowed? Firm by firm
Firm rules decide your ban risk, not the copier. Most firms that allow copying only allow it between your own accounts, and hedging across accounts is prohibited wherever it's mentioned.

Before you connect two firms
- Confirm both firms allow external copiers, not just their built-in one (e.g. Topstep's copier note above).
- Firms with an "approved list" only allow named copiers; check the list first.
- Drawdown rules differ between firms; one trade can be safe on one account and breach another. See trailing vs EOD drawdown.
- Bracket behavior changes across platforms: see copying stop loss and take profit.
- Platform support per firm is in the compatibility matrix.
Last updated Nov 2026. Prop-firm rules change often; every claim links to the firm's own page so you can re-check before you trade. Not investment advice.
