Which Prop Firms Allow Copy Trading?

Copying between your own accounts ✓Allowed

Copy trading is permitted if a single user, the individual named on the Alpha Futures accounts, executes the trades. Automated, group and reverse trading are strictly prohibited. Alpha recommends the smallest or lowest-profit account as leader and accepts no liability for copier problems.

“Copy trading in general is permitted as long as it is a single user”

Source: Copy Trading

Third-party trade copiers ?Not stated

The copy-trading article mentions built-in platform copiers and disclaims liability for 'trade copying software' in general, but never explicitly allows or bans third-party copiers. VPS use is permitted; VPNs that hide your IP are not.

“Many platforms have built in trade copiers.”

Bots and automated trading ✕Not allowed

AI, bots and other automated trading are strictly prohibited on all account types, as is any hands-off or continuous full automation. Semi-automation is allowed, for example an indicator giving signals while the trader places and manages trades manually. Strategies with more than 100 trades a day are unwelcome.

Copying to or from other firms ?Not stated

'Group trading', meaning collaborating with others on identical or opposite strategies across unconnected accounts, is prohibited. Copying your own trades to accounts at other firms is not addressed.

Copying between your own accounts !Allowed, with limits

Copying between your own Performance Accounts (personal and business user accounts) is allowed, as long as all accounts trade the same direction and the 20-PA cap is respected. Tradovate Group Trade is enabled automatically for users with more than one Tradovate account, and WealthCharts has a built-in copier. The Live program FAQ says group trading is not permitted on live accounts.

“Copy trading across PA accounts under your personal name and business name is allowed.”

Third-party trade copiers ✓Allowed

No Apex page bans a trader's own third-party copier outright. The legacy PA compliance page says the trader is solely responsible for results from trade copiers or external programs, and Apex encourages submitting software for approval before use. The same page bars PA and Live accounts from being managed by copy-trading services or trade-mirroring software run by another party.

Bots and automated trading ✕Not allowed

Automation and algorithms are banned. The legacy compliance page names AI, autobots, algorithms, fully automated systems, HFT and set-and-forget trading, and says the ban covers all account types. The Live program FAQ repeats that automation is not allowed. ATM bracket orders, which automate stops and targets, are explicitly encouraged.

Copying to or from other firms ?Not stated

Trade copying with other traders is forbidden. Copying to or from accounts at other prop firms is not addressed. Apex's Tradovate FAQ says the Apex trade copier, when connected through NinjaTrader, can trade Tradovate, Rithmic and personal broker accounts at the same time.

AI, bots and other fully automated trading are strictly prohibited on all account types. Semi-automated trading is allowed only if the trader actively monitors and manually manages trades. Automated ultra-high-frequency scalping systems, particularly those above 200 trades per day, are also limited. A rules table on the futures landing page shows 'Expert Advisors: Yes' for an Instant 100K plan, which conflicts with the help center.

You can copy your own accounts, but no more than 5 FFN accounts at once, across all phases including evaluations. Any trade entered or exited at the same time, on the same product and direction, counts as copied. Exceeding 5 makes all copied accounts ineligible for funding and forces a reset, and running two copiers of 5 accounts each on similar products gets accounts liquidated.

Copying between your own accounts !Allowed, with limits

Copy trading is allowed only between accounts of the identical program and the same size; for example, Elite ACCESS with Elite Daily is prohibited. Copying between your accounts and another person's accounts is prohibited. Trading the same direction on highly correlated assets across mismatched accounts is also banned. A trade copier is built into Top One Futures' Tradovate platform.

Third-party trade copiers ✓Allowed

The policy covers trades placed through third-party copy trading software and makes each trader solely responsible for setting it up, supervising it and its results. Top One Futures cannot void losses, reset accounts or refund trades started by external software. The Prohibited Trading Practices page separately bans automated systems, scripts and bots, and does not say how that applies to copiers.

EAs and bots are not allowed on any account, and the firm requires manual, skill-based trading.

Using an EA or bot can lead to suspension or closure and loss of funding privileges.

Opposite positions across accounts ✕Not allowed

Hedging the same instrument across different accounts, platforms or prop firms is strictly prohibited; hedging inside one account is allowed. This includes opposite positions created by copy trading, whether manual or through an EA or trade copier. The first single-trade case is a one-time soft breach that closes all trades. A repeat, or a case involving more than one trade, is a hard breach that closes the accounts.

Copying between your own accounts !Allowed, with limits

You may copy across all accounts that belong to you, including SimFi Challenge and SimFi Performance accounts. Each user must have their own strategy: team trading, copying other traders and signal services are banned. Copying doesn't lift the maximum capital allocation, and opening extra E8X profiles to get around it breaks the rules.

FTMO's CFD rules don't ban copying between your own accounts, but identical or near-identical trading across accounts counts toward one cap of $400,000 per trader or strategy. That includes trades copied from signal groups or copy-trading services. Above the cap, FTMO may suspend the accounts. The plain sentence 'copy trading across your own accounts is permitted' appears only on FTMO's Futures rules page, not on the CFD pages.

Copying between your own accounts !Allowed, with limits

Copy trading is permitted only between your own accounts. Copying another trader's trades, or letting another trader copy yours, is banned and may lead to profits being nullified. Same-market, same-direction trades that overlap in time across different traders' accounts may be flagged.

Copying between your own accounts !Allowed, with limits

Copying between Hola Prime accounts is allowed only when every account is registered to and owned by the same person. There is no limit on copying between Challenge accounts. For funded accounts bought on or after 15 September 2026, copying is limited to one Master account and one Copier account. The Lead account must have the lowest maximum position size, and copying must stay within the same trading environment.

Third-party trade copiers !Allowed, with limits

Third-party copiers are allowed on supported platforms between your own accounts, but Hola Prime does not support external copier tools and you are responsible for trades and limits copying correctly. The rules don't say which platforms count as supported, and EAs and automated trading systems are not permitted on TradeLocker or Match-Trader. A VPS must use a static, dedicated IP unique to your account, and Hola Prime may review multiple accounts on the same IP or network.

Bots and automated trading !Restricted

EAs, bots, algorithms and automated trading systems are allowed only on MT5 with the paid EA Trading add-on, for accounts bought from 26 September 2026. They are not permitted on cTrader, Match-Trader, TradeLocker or Direct funded accounts. EA strategies must be declared when the funded account is issued, and EAs may not be used for HFT, arbitrage or copying other people's trades. The rules don't mention TradeLocker Studio bots.

Copying to or from other firms ✕Not allowed

Copying trades from accounts at other prop firms into Hola Prime accounts is strictly prohibited. The rule change log says copying from external sources or other traders' accounts is prohibited. Copying out of Hola Prime to other firms isn't addressed directly, but hedge arbitrage, meaning opposing positions with different firms, is banned.

Hedging inside a single account is allowed. Opening buy and sell trades in the same instrument across multiple accounts, or as a group, is prohibited, even when all the accounts are yours.

You may copy only your own trades between your own accounts, and the FAQ says trades must be copied manually. Using an EA to copy is banned. Copying trades from another person is classed as cheating; both accounts may be breached and the account terminated.

Third-party trade copiers ✕Not allowed

The FAQ bans using an EA for copy trading and requires trades to be copied manually. It doesn't name copier services, but EAs and automated trading are banned on every Maven platform. VPNs are allowed, but your IP should stay in the same region, and big changes may lead Maven to ask for proof such as travel documents.

The FAQ bans EAs and automated trading on all Maven platforms and requires every trade to be placed manually; breaking this leads to termination. The Terms say EAs are not permitted under any circumstances, though another Terms clause allows EAs, bots or automated systems with Maven's prior approval. HFT, tick scalping, arbitrage and grid trading are also banned.

Opposite positions across accounts ✕Not allowed

Opposing positions across accounts, such as long on one account and short on another, count as gamifying the challenge and aren't permitted. This includes reversing positions between Maven and another prop firm. Reverse/group hedging and exclusive hedging accounts are banned too, and breaches lead to termination.

Copying between your own accounts !Allowed, with limits

On CFD Prime, copy trading is allowed only between accounts you own (effective 2 June 2025). Shared or mirrored trading between different people, or copying signals from an account that isn't yours, is treated as a breach. The CFD Instant rules list copy trading as allowed with limits and repeat the same ban. A separate device and IP policy says you may not access multiple accounts from the same IP address or network.

“Allowed only between accounts you own”

Third-party trade copiers ?Not stated

The help center doesn't name or address third-party copier software or cloud copiers. EAs are allowed if they don't copy signals that aren't yours, and a VPS may be used to run an EA. The Trading Device, IP & Network Policy requires a personal device used only by the account holder and says accessing multiple accounts from the same IP address or network is not allowed. Shared IP use is treated as a risk indicator for linked or coordinated trading.

EAs are allowed if they don't copy signals that aren't yours, scalp against the rules, run latency, reverse, hedge, arbitrage or HFT strategies, or use emulators. On CFD Prime $100K and $200K accounts, EAs may not trade within 2 minutes of high-impact news. You may run an EA on a VPS. Accounts using prohibited EAs are denied upgrades and payouts, and the Challenge fee is not refunded.

Hedging is allowed only within one account for risk management, with no hedging arbitrage. A buy on one account and a sell on another, including on correlated assets, is prohibited.
