Platform notes

What the copier supports on each platform, with cTrader copy rules, trading hours and symbol matching.

Each copier group runs on one platform, and each platform copies a little differently. Read the section for the platform your group uses; you can skip the rest.

New connections are open for Tradovate and NinjaTrader. Other platforms show Coming soon in Add connection, and connections you already have keep working.

When live copying is not available for a group, turning it on shows "Live copying isn't available for this group", and the Copier Canvas says why. A group that was already copying on such a platform opens no new trades, but keeps managing the trades it already copied.

Copy on Tradovate and NinjaTrader

  • The group copies every symbol the master trades, on the same contract.
  • Followers copy the master's contract quantity, one for one, up to Maximum per trade.
  • Market entries, scale-ins and exits copy as they fill. With Pending entries on in the master's Protection, limit and stop entry orders copy before they fill.
  • Stop-loss and profit-target fills from a Tradovate ATM strategy copy as market exits. The protective orders themselves are not copied.
  • Positions the master already holds when copying starts are never copied.
  • When trackmyprop cannot tell whether a master trade opened or closed a position, it skips that trade and tells you. If followers hold copied positions on that symbol, future copies pause for review.
  • A follower that cannot connect does not stop the group. Its open positions are reported as not managed, each master trade it misses becomes a missed entry, and it rejoins when it reconnects.
  • Reconnecting a Tradovate login stops every group that uses it. They restart together.
  • Follower protection only warns. See Alerts and recovery.
  • You can lock copying to one follower for a set time. See Follower risk.

Copy on cTrader

A cTrader group copies one master symbol to a matching symbol on each follower. Its rules are under the master's Copy rules and Settings.
