PropTradingFree Copy Trade for Tradovate
Copy trades between your Tradovate accounts for free. Trade on one prop firm account and mirror every entry, stop, target and exit to your other accounts, even at different prop firms. No paid trade copier, no extra platform. Just a Chrome extension that runs inside Tradovate.
Works with the Tradovate web trader in desktop Chrome. Start in Dry Run, go Live when you're ready.
Why pay monthly for a Tradovate trade copier?
Most trade copiers for Tradovate charge a monthly subscription and make you run a separate app. If you trade several prop firm evaluations, that's one more bill every month. Copy Trade for Tradovate is a free Tradovate copy trader that works right inside the Tradovate web trader you already use.
Free, no subscription
No trial, no monthly fee, no paid tier. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and start copying.
No separate platform
Keep using Tradovate's charts, DOM, hotkeys and ATM bracket templates. The extension copies what you already do.
Copy across prop firms
Lead on one prop firm's Tradovate login and follow on another, such as Lucid Trading to Take Profit Trader.

Tradovate copy trading FAQ
Is there a free copy trader for Tradovate?
Yes. Copy Trade for Tradovate is a free Chrome extension that copies trades between Tradovate web trader accounts. There's no subscription, no trial and no separate copier platform.
Can I copy trades between different prop firms?
Yes. Open each prop firm's Tradovate login in its own Chrome tab. One tab leads and the others follow. For example, lead on Lucid Trading and follow on Take Profit Trader.
Can I copy between two accounts in the same Tradovate login?
Not yet. Each Tradovate login is either a leader or a follower, so the leader and follower accounts need to be in different logins.
Does it work on live (real-money) accounts?
Live copying currently works on Tradovate demo sessions, which include simulation and most prop firm evaluation accounts. Dry Run works everywhere.
Are trades from TradingView or the Tradovate mobile app copied?
Not yet. Trades are copied when the leader places them in the Tradovate web trader tab running the extension. Support for outside orders is planned.
Can I trade a different contract than the leader, like NQ instead of MNQ?
Yes. Choose the contract under Trade. Stops and targets are copied when both contracts are in the same market (for example MNQ and NQ). For a different market, only market orders without a stop or target are copied.
What happens if I connect while the leader is already in a trade?
That trade is skipped. Copying starts with the leader's next trade, once they are flat.
Do I need to keep the side panel open?
No. Only the Tradovate tabs need to stay open, and they can run in the background. Add trader.tradovate.com to "Always keep these sites active" in Chrome's performance settings so Chrome never puts them to sleep.
What if my internet drops?
Leaders send queued signals when they reconnect. Followers catch up on what they missed, but never chase an entry that arrives more than 30 seconds late.
Will followers see my account numbers?
No. Followers only see the account names you choose to share. Your Tradovate login and session token are never sent to the copy-trading relay.
Is copy trading allowed by my prop firm?
Check your firm's rules. Many allow copying between your own accounts but restrict copying another person's trades. Our Tradovate prop firm finder shows each firm's copy trading rule.
