Tradeify allows copying between accounts you own and manage, in the same direction. It says third-party copiers are used at your own risk and gets no support from the help center. NinjaTrader connects to Tradeify through Tradovate only. The rule that catches copier users is hedging: opposite positions across your own accounts count, even a mini against a micro, so a copier must never leave one follower on the other side of the lead.
Checked against Tradeify's help center on October 14, 2026.
Tradeify's Tradovate guide says you may group trade only between accounts you own and manage, and that copying other strategies or copy trading with other people isn't permitted. It allows third-party copiers but says you use them at your own risk and that it doesn't support or answer for their errors. Its hedging article adds that same-direction positions across your own accounts are allowed.
The compliance FAQ is stricter at the edges. It lists synchronized trading, third-party account management and prohibited trade copying among coordinated activities that may be reviewed, while saying that trade similarity alone doesn't establish coordination. The working rule is one person, accounts in your own name, same direction.
You can hold up to five funded accounts at once across Growth, Select and Lightning. We could not find a separate cap on the number of copied accounts or a combined-balance limit in the pages we read.

Tradeify's supported-platforms page lists Tradovate, NinjaTrader and TradingView under the Tradovate connection, and Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart and R|Trader under Rithmic. Its FAQ says NinjaTrader connects through Tradovate only, using your Tradovate credentials, so a Tradeify account that sits on the Rithmic side can't be used in NinjaTrader. You can't switch brokers on an account without buying a new one, so choose the connection when you buy.
That fixes the copier question for NinjaTrader users: the add-on runs on your machine and sends orders through the Tradovate connection that NinjaTrader already holds for each account.
If you trade inside Tradovate rather than NinjaTrader, its group trading is the free option and Tradeify's guide documents it. The limits Tradeify lists are worth knowing before you choose it: ATM bracket strategies aren't supported while group trading, the Exit All and Cancel All button only affects the selected account, and each account receives an equal number of contracts, with order size a multiple of the group's total quantity.
It lives in Tradovate, so it won't help if your charts, DOM or NinjaScript tools are in NinjaTrader. It also only groups Tradovate accounts, so it can't copy to other firms.
| Rule | What Tradeify says | Why a copier matters |
|---|---|---|
| Hedging | Opposite positions in the same instrument, or two products in the same group (ES against NQ, a mini against a micro), are prohibited within one account or across your accounts. The automated check needs opposing positions, a hedge lasting over 10 seconds and over $150 of profit, and the risk team reviews cross-account cases separately. | If you flatten one follower by hand while the lead flips, that follower can sit on the wrong side. Don't lean on the automated thresholds; the risk team reviews by hand. |
| Scalping (funded) | More than 50% of trades and more than 50% of profits must come from trades held over 10 seconds, or you aren't eligible for a payout. | It applies per account. A follower that receives only the quick trades can fail while the lead passes. |
| Flat time | All positions closed by 4:45 PM ET, or 12:59 PM ET on early-close days. | A copier that misses an exit order leaves followers open. Tradeify closes them without penalty, but overnight holding is prohibited. |
| Consistency | Best day divided by total profit: 40% Select evaluation, 35% Growth funded, 20%, 25% then 30% on Lightning payouts. | If every follower mirrors the lead at the same size, they all have the same best-day ratio and cross the limit on the same day. |
| Automation | Allowed only if you exclusively own the strategy, don't share it, it isn't high-frequency and you can prove ownership. | A copier that mirrors your own lead is fine. Copying someone else's signals is not. |
Our Tradeify rules guide covers targets, drawdown, payouts and the consistency calculator.
| Copier | Where it runs | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| Tradovate group trading | Inside Tradovate | Free and documented by Tradeify. No ATM brackets, equal contracts per account, Tradovate accounts only. |
| Tradecovex | Local NinjaTrader add-on | Lead to follower copying plus an AI journal that describes your results. Plans cover 60, 80 or 100 follower accounts. It is a NinjaTrader add-on, so it only works where your firm's accounts connect to NinjaTrader. |
| NinjaTrader's built-in copier | Inside NinjaTrader | Free, with a 19-account limit and no journal. |
| Replikanto | Local NinjaTrader add-on | One-time licence rather than a subscription, no journal. Check its current price before you compare. |
We are a copier vendor, so weigh this table accordingly. We left competitors' prices out because we haven't checked them this month.
Corrections on October 14, 2026. An earlier version of this page stated a five-account, $750,000 combined balance cap, a 10-second anti-hedging tolerance with no other conditions, a scalping rule checked at evaluation completion, and a funded Select path with no consistency rule. It also quoted competitor prices and an account list for Tradecovex that we hadn't verified. Those statements were removed or replaced with what Tradeify's pages say.
