Copy Trades Across Your Own Accounts
Place or generate a trade once and replicate it across several accounts with separate sizing, filters, and risk settings for each follower.
We develop custom trade copier systems around your account structure, execution workflow, brokers, platforms, and deployment requirements — from local account replication to server-based, cloud, cross-platform, and multi-account setups.
Nordman Algorithms develops custom trade copier systems from defined account relationships, routing rules, platform and broker requirements, and deployment constraints. Projects can range from a local one-to-one copier running on one VPS to server-based or cloud infrastructure distributing trades across multiple account groups.
Copying logic can include cross-platform and cross-broker routing, account-specific sizing, symbol and contract mapping, filters, risk controls, synchronization, recovery, logging, and external API connectivity. The architecture is selected around the actual workflow rather than forcing the project into a fixed product template.
You do not need to know the final architecture before contacting us. Start with the trading workflow you want to automate; the technical design can be selected around it.
Place or generate a trade once and replicate it across several accounts with separate sizing, filters, and risk settings for each follower.
Copy trades between environments such as MetaTrader, NinjaTrader, cTrader, and other supported platforms when one system cannot cover the full workflow.
Use one source strategy while applying different quantities, instruments, account groups, or operating rules to the accounts that receive the trades.
Add custom routing, broker mappings, risk controls, account logic, dashboards, APIs, or other project-specific functions instead of adapting your process to a fixed product.
A trade copier is not defined by one architecture. These three dimensions simply describe where it runs, what it connects, and how your accounts are linked. You do not need to choose the technical model in advance.
Where the copier components operate and how they communicate.
Which platforms, brokers, or trading environments need to exchange trade events.
How source accounts and follower accounts are organized inside the copier.
Start with what you want copied, where it should go, and how each receiving account should behave. The technical rules below can then be combined and extended around that workflow.
Capabilities depend on the target platforms, broker connectivity, account model, and agreed project scope.
These are common examples. Your project can include unique routing rules, proprietary risk logic, custom parameters, administration tools, or other functions defined specifically for your workflow.
Architecture, routing rules, platform constraints, price, and timeline are clarified before development begins.
You do not need to know the final architecture. Send the accounts, platforms, brokers, routing idea, or reference copier you already have; we clarify the missing technical decisions during assessment.
The exact software components and deployment package are confirmed before development begins.
Some copying problems are defined as much by the market and account rules as by the platform itself.
Custom futures copying across compatible NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, broker, and prop-firm environments with contract sizing, mini/micro mapping, account groups, and bracket-order handling where supported.
Local, remote, and cross-broker copying for MT4, MT5, cTrader, and compatible forex environments with lot scaling, symbol mapping, account-specific rules, and multi-account routing.
Custom copier workflows for compatible evaluation, funded, and personal accounts involving firms such as Apex, Topstep, Take Profit Trader, Tradeify, and Elite Trader Funding, with per-account sizing, groups, drawdown controls, and platform-aware routing.
This applies specifically to prop-firm workflows. Rules can differ between accounts owned and controlled by the same trader and accounts belonging to other people. Current firm rules and supported platforms must be verified before development and deployment; we do not build systems intended to bypass account, identity, or risk controls.
The technology stack is selected from the source and follower platforms, broker connectivity, account structure, latency requirements, and deployment model.
You do not need to choose the technology stack before contacting us. We determine the appropriate architecture from the copying workflow and the interfaces actually available in the target environments.
Sender and receiver components are implemented in the platform-native environment where terminal-side detection or execution is required.
Broker, exchange, or platform interfaces can be combined with local or network communication layers to route trade events between supported environments.
Used when copier components need to communicate across machines, networks, or broker APIs rather than remain inside one local trading environment. Execution stays connected to the required platform or broker endpoints.
Already know the trading environment you need to connect? We develop same-platform and cross-platform copier components for major trading ecosystems. If the platform route is not yet defined, it can be selected during the technical assessment.





Custom development is most useful when account routing, platform combinations, operational controls, or distribution requirements go beyond a ready-made copier.
Replicate defined trade events across several personal or business accounts with per-account sizing, grouping, and routing rules.
Build rule-aware copying only for account combinations and platforms permitted by the current policies of the target firms.
Distribute defined execution instructions to connected subscriber terminals through authorized, project-specific infrastructure where the business and regulatory model permits it.
Custom routing, monitoring, account grouping, dashboards, and operational controls for internal trading workflows.
White-label or proprietary copying components built as part of a larger trading product or platform integration.
Account routing and reporting infrastructure for internal operations where account permissions, brokerage agreements, and applicable rules allow the required workflow.
Custom development is not always necessary. If an existing Nordman route already matches your workflow, a ready-made copier can be the simpler option.
Best when the project needs a unique platform route, proprietary account logic, advanced risk rules, cross-broker mapping, or your own local, server, or cloud architecture.
Best when one of our supported platform combinations already matches the route and behavior you need, without a custom development project.

Answers to common questions about custom versus ready-made copiers, local and cloud architectures, cross-broker routing, latency, prop firms, and delivery.
A ready-made copier is designed around a predefined route and feature set. Custom trade copier development is appropriate when you need a different platform or broker combination, custom account routing, proprietary risk rules, server or cloud infrastructure, special symbol mapping, or other project-specific behavior. If one of our existing routes already matches your workflow, a ready-made product may be the faster option.
A local copier keeps sender and receiver components in the same computer or VPS environment. A server-based or remote copier can connect components running on different machines or networks through a relay or server layer. A cloud-based architecture centralizes routing, monitoring, authentication, or account management in hosted infrastructure. The correct model depends on the target platforms, how the accounts are linked, uptime, and latency requirements.
No. Fully cloud-native copying is possible only where the source and destination platforms or brokers expose suitable trading APIs. For terminal-based MetaTrader architectures, an MT4 or MT5 terminal environment generally still needs to remain active, while cloud infrastructure may provide the routing, monitoring, authentication, and administration layer.
Yes. A custom copier can include broker-specific symbol mapping, prefixes or suffixes, contract conversion, lot or quantity scaling, minimum-size handling, and other routing rules. The exact logic is defined from the source and follower environments before development.
Yes. Accounts can be linked one-to-one, one-to-many, multi-master or multi-follower, or organized into account groups with separate routing and sizing rules. The practical number of connected accounts depends on the selected architecture, platform connectivity, and hosting environment.
There is no universal latency figure. Local architectures normally have the shortest communication path. Server-based systems add a network and routing layer, while cloud latency depends on platform APIs, broker infrastructure, hosting region, and the network path to follower accounts. Architecture is selected to minimize unnecessary routing without making performance claims that depend on third-party infrastructure.
Only where the prop firm permits the required platform, account ownership model, and trade-copying workflow. Some firms permit copying between accounts owned and controlled by the same trader while prohibiting copying to or from accounts belonging to other people, account sharing, or coordinated trading. Rules and supported platforms change, so the current policy of each target firm must be verified before development and deployment. We do not build systems intended to bypass account, identity, or risk controls.
Yes. Source code and full IP ownership are transferred on final delivery and full payment, unless a different arrangement is agreed in writing for a specific project.
Share the source and follower platforms, account structure, broker or prop-firm environment, routing rules, or any reference software you already have. We will review the technical scope and outline the next development steps.
