Copying one strategy to several prop firm accounts

Many traders pass one challenge, then run the same strategy on several funded accounts, sometimes at different firms. Placing every trade by hand on four platforms is slow and error-prone; a trade copier places them from one source. Before doing it, check two things: what the firms allow, and how each account is protected.

What prop firm rules usually say

Every firm writes its own rules and changes them, so read the current version of each firm's terms. The points that come up most often:

• Copying your own trades between your own accounts is allowed by many firms. Copying someone else's trades, or letting someone else trade your account, is often forbidden.
• A maximum total allocation per person (for example a cap on the combined size of all your funded accounts at that firm).
• Hedging across accounts (buy on one, sell on another) is forbidden almost everywhere. Never use a reversed copy between two prop accounts.
• Identical trades across many traders can be flagged as group trading. This concerns shared signals more than your own accounts.
• Technical restrictions: some firms block API access or third-party tools on their platform. See EA, API or browser.

Setting it up

1. One source. Your own trading account, a demo account you trade on, or a signal source such as TradingView alerts.
2. One link per prop account, each with its own lot mode. Proportional or risk percent keeps the same relative risk on a $25,000 and a $100,000 account. See How to size copied trades.
3. Each firm's loss rules on its own account. Daily and maximum loss differ by firm and by program, and so does the time the day resets.
4. A maximum lot on each link as a safety net.

Protecting each account separately

The accounts do not fail together: one firm measures the day from midnight in Prague, another from 5 PM New York; one counts the daily limit from the initial balance, another from the day's starting equity. A copier that knows each account's limits can stop copying to that account, or close its positions, before the firm's line, while the others keep running. See Staying inside a prop firm's daily loss limit.

In HydraSync FX, the prop firm presets fill in the daily and maximum loss of FTMO, FundedNext, FundingPips, The5ers, FXIFY and E8 programs on each account, and Risk and protection explains what happens when a limit is near.

FAQ

Can I copy one funded account to another firm's account?

Technically yes. Whether it is allowed depends on both firms' rules, so check them first.

Should all the accounts use the same lot size?

No. Size each account from its own balance and its own firm's limits.

What if one account hits its limit?

Only that account stops. The other links keep copying.
