Trade Copier Platforms
TradeCopier supports MT4, MT5, cTrader, NinjaTrader 8, DXTrade, TradeLocker, MatchTrader and VertexFX. The self-service app currently shows MT5, TradeLocker and cTrader account choices; contact support for setup instructions for the others. Verify your exact broker, account mode and copying direction before relying on a live route.
The permanent Free plan allows one trading group and three total connected accounts. Plan capacity and connection compatibility are separate questions.

The direct answer
Which platforms are available?
TradeCopier supports eight trading platforms: MT4, MT5, cTrader, NinjaTrader 8, DXTrade, TradeLocker, MatchTrader and VertexFX. MT5, TradeLocker and cTrader were visible as self-service account choices in the September 2026 review. For the other platforms, ask support for the current setup steps. Platform support alone does not establish that every broker, source-to-follower direction or order action works for your accounts.
Current self-service account choices
These describe the account entry points observed in the app. They are not a broker-by-broker compatibility matrix or a claim that every source and follower combination has been tested.
TradeLocker
Demo or Live server choice
Confirm the selected server and broker account, instrument names, source or follower role and permitted order actions.
cTrader
OAuth account authorization
Confirm the authorized account, live or demo permissions, direction, symbols and follower-order result.
A successful account authorization is only the first checkpoint. The broker can reject an instrument or order, a live account can have different permissions from a demo account, and a source connection does not automatically become an eligible follower.
All eight TradeCopier platforms
The catalog covers both the choices visible in the self-service app and platforms for which you can request setup instructions. Confirm the exact account connection and copying route before trading live.

From choice to working route
Six checks before relying on a copied trade
Use an approved demo environment where available, and keep a record of the account pair and order outcome. The checks below separate what the connection screen shows from what the destination broker actually executed.
- 1
Select a connection
Use a self-service account choice where available, or ask support for the setup instructions for your platform.
- 2
Identify both accounts
Record the source and follower brokers, servers, account modes, trading permissions and any required connector or session.
- 3
Confirm the direction
Ask whether the exact source-to-follower pair is supported. Two individually connectable accounts do not prove that either direction works.
- 4
Compare instruments and sizing
Match the actual tradable symbols, contract specifications, lot or unit steps, and risk limits on each side before enabling live copying.
- 5
Test order actions
In an approved test setup, observe open, modify, partial close, full close and protective-order actions where relevant. Record rejections and unknown outcomes.
- 6
Reconcile the result
Compare the copier event with broker orders, fills and positions. A connection badge or submitted signal is not proof of a completed follower fill.
Where to go next
For pair-specific behavior, read the cross-platform route guide. For dated contracts and futures sizing, use the forex and futures compatibility guide. Both distinguish current connection choices from routes that still need a broker-backed test.
Route and account guides
These guides help you plan checks for particular directions or account modes. A planning guide does not certify that a connector, broker or live route is currently supported.

These answers combine the supported platform catalog with the September 2026 self-service menu review. Broker permissions and connection methods can change, so confirm the current setup before live use.
TradeCopier supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, NinjaTrader 8, DXTrade, TradeLocker, MatchTrader and VertexFX. The inspected self-service app presents MT5, TradeLocker and cTrader account choices; ask support for setup instructions for the other platforms. Confirm your exact broker, account mode, direction, instrument and order actions before live copying.
Yes. TradeCopier includes MT4 in its supported platform catalog. MT4 was not a selectable choice in the inspected self-service menu, so ask support for the current MT4 setup instructions and confirm your broker, account mode and source-to-follower direction before live use.
The app offers connection choices for MT5, TradeLocker and cTrader. This review did not verify every platform pair or direction end to end. Check the exact broker and account combination, symbol, live or demo mode and order actions, then reconcile a test follower order with the broker record.
No. TradeLocker says copying is provided through third-party services rather than built into its platform, and broker or prop-firm rules may restrict access. TradeCopier supports TradeLocker accounts; confirm that your broker permits the intended connection and test the exact route before live copying.
TradeCopier includes NinjaTrader 8 in its supported platform catalog. It was not a selectable choice in the inspected self-service menu. Ask support for the setup steps and confirm the specific futures broker, account mode, contract, copying direction and order actions before live use.
Yes. TradeCopier includes DXTrade, MatchTrader and VertexFX in its supported platform catalog. These were not choices in the inspected self-service menu, so ask support for current setup instructions and confirm the broker, account mode, direction and order actions for your route.
No. A connected account establishes an account-authorization step. Confirm that both accounts can form the intended source-to-follower route, the destination instrument is tradable, sizing and protection rules are valid, and the broker actually accepts the copied action.
TradeCopier hosts its routing layer, so that layer does not require your own personal VPS. A particular broker or platform connection may still need an online connector, authenticated session or terminal component. Verify every connection dependency before closing a computer or server.
TradeCopier offers a permanent Free plan with one trading group and three total connected accounts. The plan limit does not certify any broker, account mode or cross-platform route; verify the intended connection and use an approved test setup before live copying.
Platform source: TradeLocker Help Center on copy trading. Connection availability still depends on your broker or prop firm.
