Tradeify copy trading: what the rules allow and how to copy across your Tradeify accounts

Tradeify is one of the futures prop firms whose published rules address copy trading directly, which makes it easier to do this properly than at firms that leave it vague. This guide covers what to confirm in those rules, which platforms Tradeify accounts run on, and how to set up a copier across several of them without creating a violation.

One caveat up front: Tradeify's rules are Tradeify's, and they change. Everything below points you at what to check; the current text in their help center is what counts.

Does Tradeify allow copy trading?

As of writing, Tradeify's published policy allows copying between accounts that you personally own and manage, and treats copying from or to anyone else's accounts as a violation. Third-party copier software is permitted at your own risk, meaning errors caused by the tool are on you, not them. Several details sit around that core and are worth reading in full before you connect anything:

• A cap on how many accounts can be copied together. Tradeify sets a number. Do not assume it matches another firm's, and do not assume it is the same as the number of accounts you can hold.
• Same direction on every account. Copying is fine; hedging is not. A copier configured to invert direction on one account, or a leader that is flattened while a follower stays open, creates opposing positions across accounts, and that reads as hedging.
• Whether copying needs to be switched on. Some firms require you to enable copying on the accounts first. Check whether Tradeify does for your plan.

The prop firms that allow trade copying article keeps a summary of these points across firms, with links to each firm's own page.

Which platforms Tradeify accounts run on

Tradeify issues accounts on Tradovate and on Rithmic, and its help center also documents other platforms. Which one you get depends on the plan you buy, and it decides which copier can reach the account.

• Tradovate accounts can be copied with Tradovate's built-in Group Trade if they are under one login, or with a copier connected to Tradovate's API.
• Rithmic accounts can be copied with Rithmic's own R|Trade Copier, or with a copier that connects to Rithmic directly.
• Copilink Standalone connects to both, so a Tradeify Tradovate account and a Tradeify Rithmic account can follow the same leader in one profile. The Tradovate trade copier and Rithmic trade copier pages explain each connection.

Setting up a copier across Tradeify accounts

1. Read the current rules and note the account cap. Decide which accounts will be in the group before you touch software.
2. Connect on the platform your accounts use. For Tradovate, authorize Demo first, then Live; for Rithmic, enter the login, server location, and the exact system Tradeify gave you. Copilink stores those credentials in your operating system's secure storage on your machine.
3. One leader, followers you choose. Enable only the Tradeify accounts you are allowed to copy between. Leave any account that should not be part of the group disabled.
4. Size each follower on its own. Exact quantity for identical accounts; a ratio for accounts of different sizes, rounded down to whole contracts.
5. Turn on follower protection. This is what keeps you out of the hedging trap: an account that is open while the leader is flat, or on the opposite side, gets a flatten request and can be disengaged.
6. Set per-account limits that are tighter than Tradeify's. A daily loss limit on each account, and an evaluation goal if the account is still in evaluation, so a breach stops before the firm's line does.
7. Test on a simulation account first. One small trade, watch every follower, flatten, and confirm at the broker.

The rules a copier can watch for you, and the ones it cannot

Copilink Standalone can act on your own daily loss, daily profit, and evaluation goal rules per account, and on evaluation consistency rules. It monitors trailing drawdown and funded-account consistency without enforcing them in the current version, so Tradeify's dashboard remains the authority on those. It cannot know whether a given combination of accounts is allowed under your Tradeify agreement; that part is on you.

What to do if one account falls out of step

Every follower order is accepted, rejected, or filled by the broker on its own. If a Tradeify account rejects an order, stop, look at the activity log to see what happened on that account, and bring it back in line before the leader trades again. Two accounts on opposite sides of the market, even briefly, is the situation the same-direction rule exists to catch.
