Copy trading for every Apex account you own
Stop manually entering the same trade on 10 different Apex accounts. Execute once on a leader, mirror every eligible fill to your evaluations and PAs through Tradovate — with per-account control, real-time execution, and zero setup friction.
Running 10 Apex accounts manually is a part-time job you did not sign up for.
Apex's pricing makes it cheap to stack accounts — traders routinely hold 5, 10, 20 evaluations and PAs at once. The problem is the execution tax. Every setup means entering the same trade five, ten, twenty times. Every exit means flattening every account before the move is gone. Every invalidation is a race.
You miss fills. You fat-finger size. You get out of sync. One account is long while another is already flat. On a fast move, the accounts that lagged give back the edge you built on the faster ones. The operational variance eats real money.
TradeDupe removes the execution tax. You trade one account. Every enabled Apex account mirrors the fill in milliseconds.
From signup to synchronized execution in under 10 minutes.
Connect your Apex Tradovate accounts
Authorize each account with your Tradovate credentials. Passwords are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before any write to the database. Add as many Apex evals and PAs as you manage.
Designate one leader
Pick the account you will actually execute on. Everything else becomes a follower. Switch the leader any time — there is no lock-in to which account drives the group.
Toggle which followers are live
Every account has an independent on/off switch. Pause a PA approaching a payout. Keep evals in a separate group. Re-enable accounts as your plan evolves.
Trade normally — TradeDupe handles the rest
Each leader fill is detected via Tradovate WebSocket execution reports. Follower orders are dispatched in parallel, typically within 100ms. A fill on the leader becomes fills on every enabled follower before the market has time to move.
Every Apex account size, every rule, copyable.
TradeDupe respects each account's contract limits automatically. If your $50K eval allows 10 contracts and your $25K eval allows 4, a 5-lot fill on a larger leader is capped per-follower according to Apex's rules.
| Account size | Profit target | Trailing drawdown | Max contracts |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,500 | 4 |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,500 | 10 |
| $75K | $4,250 | $2,750 | 12 |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | 14 |
| $150K | $9,000 | $5,000 | 17 |
| $250K | $15,000 | $6,500 | 27 |
| $300K | $20,000 | $7,500 | 35 |

The 30% consistency rule and copy trading: the math you need to internalize.
Apex's consistency rule says your single largest winning day cannot exceed 30% of your total profit at payout time. It applies per account, independently. Copying trades does not aggregate the calculation — each PA must pass on its own.
Worked example
You run 5 × $100K PAs. On Monday, the copied trade nets $1,000 on each account — $5,000 total. For any one account to be payout-eligible that week, Monday's $1,000 must be no more than 30% of that account's total weekly profit — so each account needs at least $3,333 in total profit before payout.
Five accounts means you need five separate paths to $3,333+ in profit, not one combined path to $16,667. The copier ensures every account sees the same trades — it does not make the consistency math easier.
Practical implication: pace your trading. A huge green day on the leader becomes a huge green day on every follower, which raises the consistency threshold everywhere. Spreading gains across multiple sessions keeps every account payout-eligible.
What changes when the copier handles execution.
Manual execution
- Re-enter every trade on every account, one by one
- Fills arrive seconds apart across accounts
- Fat-finger risk compounds with account count
- Exits are a race — some accounts give back edge
- Mental bandwidth spent on order entry, not the market
- Disabling one account mid-session means remembering to skip it
With TradeDupe
- One execution propagates to every enabled account
- Sub-100ms latency across all followers in parallel
- Contract limits enforced per account automatically
- Exits flatten every account on the same tick
- Full attention stays on the chart, not the DOM
- Toggle any account on or off with one click
Features designed around the way prop traders actually work.
Real-time WebSocket detection
Leader fills are detected the moment Tradovate emits the execution report — no polling, no lag.
Per-account contract limits
Every Apex size has its own contract cap. TradeDupe respects them automatically when mirroring.
Rogue-trade protection
A manual fill on a follower that didn't come from the copier is auto-flattened to keep accounts in sync.
Independent follower toggles
Pause a PA approaching a payout, keep the rest running. No need to disconnect the account.
24/7 hosted service
Runs on our infrastructure. Your local machine can be off — fills still mirror.
AES-256-GCM credential encryption
Tradovate passwords are encrypted before the database ever sees them. Plaintext is never stored.
Execution analytics
Review every copied fill, every reject, every latency measurement. Audit exactly what happened.
Allowed-contract whitelist
Restrict which instruments a follower will copy. Useful for accounts with different risk profiles.
Graceful reject handling
One follower rejecting an order does not cascade. The rest keep executing normally.
Is TradeDupe right for your Apex setup?
Good fit
- You hold 3+ Apex accounts (evals, PAs, or both)
- You execute one consistent strategy across them
- You trade through Tradovate
- You want execution to be a non-issue, not a skill
- You have a defined risk plan per account
Poor fit
- You only run one account — a copier is overkill
- You strategy-hop between accounts daily
- You haven't proven a stable process yet
- You expect automation to replace risk management
- You want to copy someone else's trades (Apex does not allow this)
Everything Apex traders ask before signing up.
Does Apex Trader Funding allow copy trading?
Yes. Apex explicitly permits copy trading between your own evaluation and PA accounts. What Apex does not allow is copying another person's trades into your accounts or acting as a signal provider to other traders. TradeDupe is designed for the permitted use case: one trader, multiple personal accounts.
Can I copy between Apex evaluations and PA accounts at the same time?
Yes. You pick one leader account and mirror fills to any follower accounts you enable, regardless of whether they are evals, PAs, or a mix. Each follower has an independent on/off switch.
How does copy trading affect the Apex 30% consistency rule?
The consistency rule applies per account, independently. Copying identical trades to ten PAs means each of those ten accounts has the same largest-day-to-total-profit ratio. You must size and pace so every account stays payout-eligible — the copier does not change the math, it just ensures every account sees the same trades.
What is the trailing drawdown and how does it work with copied trades?
Apex evaluations and the first payout window on PAs use a trailing drawdown that follows your unrealized high-water mark. On PAs it stops trailing once you hit a set balance. Copying does not interact with drawdown directly, but identical trades across identical account sizes will hit drawdown at the same time — plan position size accordingly.
Which brokers does TradeDupe currently support for Apex?
Tradovate, which is an approved Apex platform. Additional broker integrations are on the roadmap — the architecture is broker-agnostic, so new integrations slot in without changing the copier logic.
How fast are copied trades placed?
TradeDupe listens to Tradovate's execution report WebSocket on the leader account. When a fill arrives, follower orders are dispatched immediately, typically within milliseconds. Exact latency depends on Tradovate API response time on each follower connection.
Can I copy different quantities on different accounts?
Yes. Every account has its own contract allowance based on Apex account size, and TradeDupe mirrors trades while respecting per-account contract limits. You can also disable accounts entirely when you do not want them participating in a session.
What happens if one follower account rejects an order?
A reject on one follower does not cascade to the others. The rejected account logs the event and the remaining followers continue to receive fills normally. You can review rejects after the session and decide whether to re-enable the account.
Are my Apex Tradovate credentials secure?
Passwords are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM before being written to the database. Plaintext credentials are not stored. Sessions use token refresh flows so your password is not transmitted on every request.
Can I pause a single Apex account mid-session?
Yes. Each follower has an independent toggle. Flip it off and that account stops receiving copied fills immediately. The rest keep running.
What happens when a PA account hits its payout target?
The copier keeps running until you disable the account. Many traders pause a PA once it reaches its minimum payout balance, to avoid adding risk before the withdrawal is processed. Re-enable it after the payout.
Do I need to be running my computer for trades to copy?
No. TradeDupe runs as a hosted service. Your leader fills are detected on our infrastructure and follower orders are placed from there, independent of whether your local machine is online.
