Copying Trades Without Account Protection Can Compound Losses
When the same strategy is copied across multiple accounts, a single losing sequence can affect every connected account. Manually monitoring equity across each account makes it harder to react consistently when a predefined risk limit is reached.
02
Multiple Accounts
Monitoring equity independently across several connected accounts becomes difficult as your setup grows.
03
Manual Intervention
Waiting for a trader to notice a threshold and close positions can introduce avoidable delays.
Define the Limit. Let the System Enforce It.
Set fixed dollar or percentage-based protection thresholds for connected accounts. When a configured hard-stop condition is reached, TradeCopier can send close-at-market instructions and suspend further copying.

Stop Copying When Your Daily Loss Limit Is Reached
Set a dollar or percentage-based daily loss threshold. When realized losses reach the configured limit, TradeCopier pauses copying for that account.

The daily loss counter resets at the start of a new trading day according to the configured account/broker time settings. Trading-day definitions can vary by broker.
Protect Against Drawdown Before the Loss Is Realized
Floating Drawdown Monitor tracks unrealized equity while positions remain open. If live equity falls beyond your configured percentage from the session peak, TradeCopier can close open positions and suspend copying.

Connection Requirements for Protection
The hosted protection workflow needs current account data and an available route to the broker. Your browser can close, but any terminal connector required by the platform connection must remain available. Confirm the setup's interruption behavior before relying on an automated stop action.

How Automated Equity Protection Works
Continuous Monitoring
TradeCopier monitors realized and unrealized account equity against your configured protection rules.
Threshold Detection
When a configured daily loss, floating drawdown, or emergency condition is triggered, the protection engine identifies the event.
Automatic Enforcement
TradeCopier sends close-at-market instructions where the configured rule requires position closure and suspends further copying.
Notification
Receive an alert through your configured notification channel when a protection event occurs.
Different Accounts. Different Protection Rules.
Each connected Follower account can have independently configured protection settings. This is useful when account balances, risk profiles, or trading rules differ.

Build Protection Around Your Prop Firm's Drawdown Rules

Frequently Asked Questions
The Daily Loss Limit tracks realized losses from closed trades during the configured trading day and pauses copying when the threshold is reached. The Floating Drawdown Monitor tracks unrealized equity while positions remain open and can close positions when equity falls beyond the configured percentage from the session peak. Both can be used together for layered protection.
Protection rules need current account data and an available connection for supported actions. The hosted router does not require your browser to stay open, but any connector needed by your platform must remain available. Confirm your connection method and interruption behavior before relying on a rule with a terminal offline.
Yes. Each connected Follower account can have independently configured Daily Loss Limit, Floating Drawdown, and Emergency Close settings. This allows different protection thresholds for accounts with different balances, risk profiles, or trading rules.
Yes. Equity protection can be configured around the drawdown and loss limits specified by a prop firm. However, prop-firm rules vary, and TradeCopier does not guarantee compliance with any specific firm's current Terms of Service.
When a configured hard-stop condition is reached, TradeCopier sends close-at-market instructions for the applicable open positions and suspends copying so new trades are not copied under the triggered rule. Configured notifications can also alert you to the protection event.
Yes. The daily loss counter resets at the beginning of the next trading day according to the configured broker/server time or timezone settings. Copying can resume automatically unless manual override has been enabled.
No. A threshold is a trigger for the configured copying or close request, not a guaranteed fill price or maximum realized loss. Gaps, slippage, unavailable connections and broker rejections can change the outcome. Confirm whether a rule pauses new copying, requests closure, or both, and check the broker position and activity log after it triggers. These controls do not guarantee compliance with a prop firm’s rules.
Yes. Emergency Close All provides a manual server-level action for closing open positions across connected accounts.
