Copy Trading: how to use a trade copier to manage multiple prop firm accounts

Copy trading (or trade copying) automatically replicates the positions of a main trading account — the Master account — to one or more secondary accounts — the Slave accounts. Every order opened, modified or closed on the Master is reproduced in real time on the linked accounts.

For prop firm traders managing several funded accounts, a trade copier like MirrorTrades centralizes execution: you trade once, and your positions are duplicated across all your accounts.

How does a trade copier work?

The system relies on three elements:

1. The Master account: the source account where you make your trading decisions.
2. The copy template: the configuration defining how trades are replicated (lot sizing, risk management, instrument filters...).
3. The Slave accounts: the destination accounts receiving the copied trades according to the chosen template.

Step-by-step setup

A guided interface walks you through the setup in three steps:

Step 1 – Connect the Master account

Link your main account (MetaTrader 4 or 5) by entering the account ID, password and broker server.

Step 2 – Create a copy template

The template defines execution behavior: position size ratio, stop loss and take profit copying, allowed instruments, etc.

Step 3 – Attach the Slave accounts

Then add each destination account by selecting the Master and the template to apply:

Copy trading and prop firm rules: be careful!

Before using a trade copier on funded accounts, always check your prop firm's rules. At TopTraderPrime:

• Copy trading is governed by a dedicated program (see our official rules).
• Profits from copying are capped at 50% of total profit eligible for a payout.

Used correctly, a trade copier remains an excellent productivity tool to execute the same strategy across multiple accounts without manual errors.

Conclusion

Copy trading with a trade copier like MirrorTrades greatly simplifies multi-account management: one execution, instant replication and centralized performance tracking. Just make sure you follow your prop firm's rules so your payouts remain eligible.
