Cloud trade copier · in development
We're building a cloud copier for futures prop traders: you keep trading your master exactly where you trade now, and the copier detects each fill and mirrors it to your followers — no VPS to babysit, no desktop copier tethering your stack to one PC, and a rulebook that knows what each firm actually allows. Firmtrack is not a broker and has no order entry. It isn't live yet — this page shows exactly where it stands, with a working simulation instead of promises.
Waitlist members hear first when the copier reaches testing — and shape what it becomes.
Try it
Flip Sync on and watch one detected master fill reach eight followers. Then run the scenario other copier pages don't show you: what it looks like when a follower rejects.

Every number above is generated in your browser for demonstration — fixed sequence, fixed sample latencies. No live accounts, no production measurements, no broker connections.
Want the real thing? The full copier — master selection, per-follower quantity rules, pauses, guardrail lockouts, and a persisted execution log — runs against a sim broker in the demo: open the copier.
The planned flow
Three steps, because copier setup is where every existing tool bleeds people. This is the flow the copier is being built around — it will be in your hands to test before it's sold to anyone.
1
Link the accounts you already trade. Which platforms connect first will be announced only once each integration is verified and permitted — no logo wall of brokers we can’t actually ship.
2
Your master is the account you trade directly — on the platform you already use, unchanged. Firmtrack has no order entry; the copier just listens for its fills. Everything else becomes a follower, each with its own quantity rule and pause switch.
3
Each detected master fill mirrors to your followers through their brokers’ own APIs, and every fill — or rejection — lands in one activity log you can actually read.
The math
A tick of slippage on one account is a rounding error. The same tick across ten followers, every trade, every day, is real money — set your own assumptions and see the arithmetic. This is why copier infrastructure is worth being picky about.

Drift is an assumption you set, not a measurement — it stands in for everything between the master fill and a follower fill: relay lag, requotes, queue position.

Your stack (8 followers)$9,600/mo
1 tick × $5.00/tick × 2 contracts × 2 fills/trade × 3 trades/day × 20 days × 8 followers = $9,600/mo
Illustrative estimate from the assumptions above — actual fills and slippage vary with market conditions, liquidity, order type, platform, broker, and connection quality. Tick values are CME's published contract specs. This page makes no claim about what any copier, ours included, achieves.
The waitlist hears first when the copier reaches testing.
Cloud vs. local
These are architectural differences, not benchmark claims — we'll publish measured numbers when we have them, and not before.
| Desktop / VPS copier | Cloud copier | |
|---|---|---|
| Your computer during the session | Must stay on and connected — a sleep, crash, or Windows update mid-trade is your problem | Irrelevant once sync is on; close the laptop |
| VPS rental & maintenance | Common workaround for the always-on problem — another monthly bill you administer (and some firms prohibit) | None |
| Software installation | Installer per machine, updates per machine | Browser |
| Checking on your followers | Remote-desktop into wherever the copier runs | One dashboard from any device |
| When a fill is rejected | Depends on the software — often a log file on that machine | Surfaced in the activity log, designed to alert you |
| Infrastructure upkeep | Yours | Ours |
Prop-firm rules
These are the current policies of the firms in our rule book, read from each firm's own site on the date shown. Between your own accounts it's broadly permitted; the account caps, tool restrictions, and hedging bans are where traders get hurt. The copier is being built with these rules in view — a copier that ignores them isn't a tool, it's a liability.
verified 2026-08-24
Allowed between your own accounts via the built-in TopstepX copier (up to 5 funded accounts). No VPS or remote access, no cross-account hedging, no coordinated trading with others.
verified 2026-08-17
Copying across your OWN funded accounts is allowed (max 20 accounts, all same direction — no hedging). Copying with other traders is strictly forbidden, as is full automation.
verified 2026-08-18
Allowed across your own accounts on every account type. Prohibited with other people — no hedging, mirroring, or coordinating across traders.
verified 2026-08-18
Allowed — up to 5 funded (PRO) accounts simultaneously with a copier. References an approved-copier standard; no counter positions or bots.
verified 2026-08-18
Allowed only between accounts you personally own and manage; all copied accounts must trade the same direction (inverted copiers count as hedging). Copying with other people is prohibited.
verified 2026-08-18
Bots, algorithms and trade copiers are permitted — but only tools you built yourself for personal use; commercial, shared, or rented tools are banned. Rithmic third-party API connections cost $100/month. Max 5 Master accounts.
Rules change mid-year and vary by plan and account type — always confirm your configuration against your firm's current terms before copying anything. No tool can guarantee compliance with a firm's rules, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you an account closure.
FAQ
Not against real accounts. The full product surface — master selection, per-follower quantity rules, pauses, guardrail lockouts, execution log — is working today in the demo against a simulated broker, and the real execution engine is in active development. The waitlist hears first when it reaches live testing — and early testers get it before anyone pays for it.
No — Firmtrack is not a broker and has no order entry, and never will for the master. You keep trading your master account on the platform you already use; the copier detects your fills through the broker's API and submits matching orders to your follower accounts through those same broker APIs, under access you grant. Nothing about how you trade changes.
We haven't announced any, on purpose. Copier execution is the one place where platform terms of service really matter — some platform APIs prohibit third-party copy trading outright — so we name an integration only once it's verified, permitted, and working. Where a platform bans third-party copying but ships its own built-in copier, accounts there will stay journal-only in Firmtrack and we'll point you at the native copier instead, then track its results. No logo wall of brokers we can't ship.
It depends on the firm, the account type, and how you configure it. Most firms in our verified rule book explicitly allow copying between your own accounts, with conditions — account caps, no inverse copying, no copying with other people. The policies section above quotes each firm verbatim, but rules change: you are responsible for confirming your setup against your firm's current terms, and no tool can guarantee compliance.
We don't know yet, and we won't publish a number until it's measured on real infrastructure. The latencies in the simulation above are fixed sample values for demonstration — they are not a performance claim.
It gets loud, not quiet. The design principle carried over from our guardrails is fail-safe visibility: a rejected or failed fill is surfaced immediately in the activity log with what failed and what didn’t change — your master position and other followers are unaffected. Try the "One rejection" scenario in the simulation to see it.
Yes — per-follower quantity rules: same quantity, a multiplier, or a fixed size, each with an optional hard cap, and each follower individually pausable. You can configure all of it right now in the demo copier.
The connection and permission model will be published in plain language before anyone is asked to link a real account — what access is needed, what is stored, and what is never touched. We won't ask you to trust security claims we haven't shipped, and nothing on this site asks for trading credentials today.
Not decided. It will be part of Firmtrack rather than another standalone subscription, and waitlist members hear pricing first. Early access to Firmtrack itself starts as a free trial, no card required.
Join the waitlist and you'll hear the moment the copier reaches testing — plus early access to everything Firmtrack already does.
