Tradovate

Tradovate copy trading

Tradovate copy trading works because Tradovate reports every fill and lets you address each account separately. A login holding four funded accounts behaves as four accounts.

Two things Tradovate does that copying needs

Execution events
Tradovate reports each fill as it happens, with an id. A copier reacts to real fills instead of polling a position summary.
Addressable sub-accounts
A prop-firm login holding four funded accounts behaves as four accounts, so each can carry its own size.

From OAuth sign-in to an order on every account

You authorise Quanify against your Tradovate login and every funded sub-account under it appears on its own. When the Leader fills, each Follower applies its multiplier and places its own order.

The session runs on Quanify's servers, so copies continue with your laptop shut.

  • No password stored, no third-party bridge
  • Followers can sit on other Tradovate logins you connected
  • Usually 50–200 ms leader fill to follower order

  1. OAuthYou authorise Quanify against your Tradovate login. No password stored, nothing typed into a third-party bridge.
  2. Sub-accountsEvery funded account under that login appears individually and can be sized on its own.

The session runs in the cloud, so copies continue with your machine off.

When a Tradovate copy goes wrong

Each failure case has a set response.

Tradovate resends a fill
De-duplicated per execution for 60 seconds per account
An order fills in pieces
Every partial copies on its own execution id
The session drops
Reconnected server-side; a silent socket is detected and replaced
The engine restarts
Fills stamped older than 30 seconds are refused
One account needs to stop
Mute it: it stays linked and configured

Tradovate accounts from a prop firm

Many Tradovate logins belong to a prop firm, and that firm's rules decide whether copying across its accounts is allowed. Check the firm's current rules for each account type before you arm anything; Quanify can't make an account compliant.

Every Follower you add starts with Power off, and nothing shows as armed until the engine confirms the routing.

Questions

Common questions

Short answers to what traders ask first. Anything else, the Help Center has it.

Does Tradovate have copy trading?

Not as a built-in feature. Tradovate provides the API and execution events, and a connected platform does the copying. Quanify signs in over OAuth and places a separate sized order on each of your other accounts when the Leader fills.

Can I copy between Tradovate sub-accounts on the same login?

Yes, and it's the common case. Every funded sub-account under a login is addressable individually, so one can lead and its siblings follow at their own sizes.

Why is Tradovate good for copy trading?

It pushes execution events as fills happen, so a copier reacts to real fills instead of polling. It also exposes each sub-account separately, which makes per-account sizing possible.

Do I need a VPS to copy trade on Tradovate?

Not with Quanify. The broker session runs on Quanify's servers, so copies continue with your machine off.

How fast does a copy reach the other accounts?

Usually 50–200 ms from the leader's fill to the follower's order. Nearly all of that is Tradovate's round trip: the fill report, then the order acknowledgement.

Can I copy between different Tradovate logins?

Yes. The Leader and its Followers can sit on different Tradovate logins, as long as you connected each one. TopstepX accounts can follow a Tradovate Leader too; NinjaTrader and Rithmic are on the roadmap.

How do I set up copy trading on Tradovate?

Connect your Tradovate login with OAuth, open Copy Trader, pick the Leader, turn on the Followers you want and give each a multiplier, then turn Power on. Nothing copies until Power is on, and turning it off never closes a position. The step-by-step guide has more detail.
