Copy-trading between your own accounts
Allowed within your household cap — and only there.
Updated 2026-07-05
Running a trade copier across your own accounts is allowed. Same trader, same decisions, scaled across the roster you paid for — up to the 5-funded-account household cap. Many traders pass or trade multiple sizes simultaneously this way.
Where the line sits
- Allowed: copying between accounts that are yours, on this firm, under your identity.
- Prohibited: copying to or from anyone else's account — a friend, a signal service, a Discord 'prop passer', paid or free, sender or receiver.
- Prohibited: subscribing your account to an external signal-copier, even one you pay for. If the decisions aren't yours, the track record isn't either.
Practical notes
- Contract caps apply per account — a copier multiplying size across accounts must respect each account's own limit.
- Copied accounts breach independently. One leg slipping on fills can breach while another survives; that's the nature of the tool.
- Copier software itself is semi-automation and needs no approval — you decide the trade, it distributes it.
Heads up
Fill-timestamp correlation across unrelated households is one of the specific patterns the risk desk screens for. Herd trades from a signal room look identical to collusion — because economically, they are.
