The5ers Copy Trading Rules: Own Accounts, EAs and Setup

Prop Firms

3 Min Read

Check The5ers own-account copying rules, Bootcamp and Hyper Growth exceptions, EA restrictions, and the MT5 setup questions to resolve before using Copygram.

The5ers permits copying your own trades in some circumstances, but the answer depends on the program and the way orders are generated. Its general copying FAQ requires different strategies across multiple Bootcamp accounts. Platform compatibility alone does not establish permission to use a copier. Read The5ers’ own-trades FAQ.


This independent Copygram guide focuses on the decisions to make before connecting an account. Rules checked on September 30, 2026. It is not a claim of partnership, approval by The5ers, or a way to guarantee a successful evaluation.


Start with the exact The5ers program


Bootcamp: check the strategy requirement


The general FAQ says multiple Bootcamp accounts must use different strategies. Do not build a room that repeats one strategy across several Bootcamp accounts based only on the broader statement that own-account copying is allowed. Official copying FAQ.


Hyper Growth: watch the allocation threshold


The Hyper Growth FAQ allows copying between your own accounts, but says this stops being permitted once total managed capital reaches $500,000 across all programs and accounts. Recheck the rule when your allocation changes, not only at the first connection. Official Hyper Growth rule.


High Stakes, promotions and Futures: use the matching rulebook


Record the product name, account stage and purchase terms from your dashboard. A rule for one program is not a reliable substitute for another program’s agreement. Confirm copying direction, permitted account combinations and any allocation conditions with The5ers before setting up your room.


The5ers publishes a separate Futures copying rule: only its 25K and 50K accounts, up to $75,000 combined, and only your own accounts and trades. That is a policy statement, not confirmation that a particular The5ers Futures connection works with Copygram. Official Futures copying FAQ.


Copying permission and EA permission are separate checks


The5ers’ EA FAQ prohibits using another person’s signals, HFT and several arbitrage methods. It also requires a visible stop loss and ownership of the EA’s source code. The prohibited-practices page separately addresses third-party EAs, coordinated trading and account-management services. EA policy · Prohibited practices.


Our practical recommendation: describe the complete proposed workflow to The5ers support. Include Copygram’s name, the source of the trading decisions, the sending account, the receiving accounts and whether any EA generates orders. Ask how its EA and source-code requirements apply to that precise setup. A cloud connection should not be treated as an automatic exception.


What to verify for an MT5 connection


Copygram supports MT5 as both a source and a receiver. A Copygram room connects one source to its receivers, with configuration for each receiver. Review the MetaTrader trade copier and the platform documentation for the supported connection workflow.


Before buying a plan, check that the exact server and account can be connected and that The5ers permits the proposed use. Copygram does not currently support cTrader as a sender or receiver. A firm offering cTrader does not make that account compatible with Copygram.


A useful record for each receiving account


  • Account identity: owner, program, stage, platform and server.

  • Permission: the source account, order-generation method and copying direction covered by the firm’s answer.

  • Instrument details: the receiver’s symbol name, contract size, minimum volume and volume step.

  • Order handling: entry, stop-loss changes, take-profit changes, partial closes and full closes to check before relying on the connection.

  • Risk review: the account’s current loss boundary, open exposure and remaining room for a new position.


Where a permitted practice environment is available, check a small order through its full lifecycle. Compare the source and receiver records after entry, modification and exit. Do not judge the connection from an entry appearing alone: a missed close or incorrectly sized receiver can matter more than the initial fill.


Lot sizing does not enforce the firm’s account rules


Copygram’s documented money-management options include fixed lots, a multiplier, balance-based sizing and stop-loss-based risk sizing. Use the lot-sizing examples to understand the inputs before choosing a receiver setting.


Those controls should not be presented as an account-wide daily-loss lockout or a guarantee against drawdown breaches. Several open positions, commissions and execution differences can change the receiver’s result. Review the firm’s own account metrics and decide how you will stop adding exposure and manage existing positions if a connection fails.


Before choosing Copygram


Resolve the program and EA questions first. If the firm permits your workflow and your account connection is supported, compare Copygram plans and account limits. Copygram offers paid plans and no free trial. A subscription provides copying functionality; passing an evaluation or receiving a payout is not guaranteed.
