Tradecopia's compatibility is determined by the broker or data feed your prop firm's account uses, not by the prop firm itself. If your prop firm offers accounts on a broker or data feed that Tradecopia supports, you can connect.
You might need this article if:
You want to know whether your prop firm works with Tradecopia, for example MFFU, Topstep, Ironbeam, Alpha Futures, Funding Pips, or another firm
You don't see your prop firm listed under connections
You're not sure which broker or data feed your prop firm account uses
You want to know whether Tradecopia has an agreement or exemption with your prop firm
You're choosing a prop firm account at signup and want one that works with Tradecopia
The key question — which broker or data feed does your prop firm use?
Tradecopia does not maintain a list of compatible prop firms. It supports specific brokers and data feeds. The compatibility check is:
Which broker or data feed does your prop firm use for their accounts?
Is that broker or data feed on the supported list below?
Does your specific account type meet the compatibility requirements?
Your prop firm's name is secondary. The broker or data feed and your account type are what matter. You do not need to find your firm on a list. Ask your firm, or check your account, to confirm which broker or data feed it uses. The charting platform you trade on, such as Sierra Chart or Quantower, does not affect compatibility as long as the account behind it is on a supported broker or data feed.
Supported brokers and data feeds
Broker / data feed | Status | Notes |
Tradovate | ✅ Supported | Available to virtually all prop firm users — most firms offer Tradovate accounts |
NinjaTrader | ✅ Supported | Shares the same account system as Tradovate — same login, same connection flow |
Rithmic | ✅ Supported | Requires a Rithmic-backed account — see the Rithmic section below for the key distinction |
TopStepX | ✅ Supported | Currently limited to Topstep — TopStepX stopped onboarding new prop firms |
Broker-specific compatibility notes
Tradovate
Virtually all prop firms offer Tradovate accounts. If you have a Tradovate account from any prop firm, you can connect it to Tradecopia. The connection uses OAuth via the Tradovate login page. See How to connect your Tradovate account to Tradecopia for the full setup guide.
NinjaTrader
NinjaTrader accounts are Tradovate accounts accessed through NinjaTrader. Compatibility rules are identical to Tradovate, and the same credentials work for both. See How to connect your NinjaTrader account to Tradecopia for the setup flow.
Rithmic
Rithmic has one important nuance: your account must be Rithmic-backed, not just on a platform that happens to support Rithmic.
Some platforms support multiple data feeds, including Rithmic and others such as DXFeed. An account on such a platform is only compatible with Tradecopia if it is specifically a Rithmic-issued account.
Example: Quantower supports both Rithmic and DXFeed accounts. MFFU accounts on Quantower use DXFeed. These are not compatible with Tradecopia. A Rithmic account accessed through Quantower is compatible.
The test: Is your account Rithmic-issued? If yes, compatible. If it uses DXFeed or any other data feed, not compatible.
Rithmic connections also require the correct system name for your prop firm. See How to connect your Rithmic account to Tradecopia for the full setup guide and system name reference table.
TopStepX
TopStepX stopped onboarding prop firms beyond Topstep. The only prop firm currently using TopStepX is Topstep. If you are on Topstep, you can connect via TopStepX. If you are on another firm, check whether they offer Tradovate or Rithmic accounts instead.
Alpha Futures
Alpha Futures no longer issues Tradovate accounts. Alpha Futures moved to their own Alpha Trader platform, which Tradecopia does not currently support. If you have an older Alpha Futures Tradovate account that has stopped connecting or executing, this change on Alpha's side is the reason. For what Tradecopia does and does not support, see Does Tradecopia support my trading platform?.
What to do if your Rithmic firm isn't in the system name list
Rithmic connections require a system name assigned by your prop firm. If your firm's system name is not in Tradecopia's reference table and no generic names are working, contact the Tradecopia support team. The team will contact your prop firm to request their assigned system name and ship an update with it included.
Before you connect — confirm your prop firm allows copy trading
Tradecopia provides the copy trading tool. Compliance with your prop firm's rules is your responsibility.
Before connecting any prop firm account, confirm the following:
Check | Why it matters |
Your prop firm explicitly allows copy trading | Some firms prohibit copy trading entirely — using Tradecopia on such an account violates firm rules |
Your firm allows third-party copy trading platforms | Some firms only permit their own internal tools |
Your account type supports copy trading | Some account tiers restrict copy trading even if the firm generally allows it |
Your firm does not require all trades to be placed manually | Some consistency rules require manual entry — copy trading may violate this |
Your firm accepts your trading style and frequency | High-frequency copying or specific strategies may trigger firm-level risk flags |
Tradecopia's position: Tradecopia is a copy trading tool. It is your responsibility to ensure your prop firm permits its use. If your firm does not allow copy trading, using Tradecopia on that account is at your own risk. Tradecopia cannot be held responsible for account violations, rule breaches, or account terminations resulting from non-compliant use.
Does Tradecopia have an agreement or exemption with my prop firm?
Tradecopia is recognized by the prop firms it supports. When you trade through Tradecopia, your session is identifiable as Tradecopia, and the tool is built to align with those firms' copy-trading policies. Because of this, supported firms do not object to Tradecopia being used as a tool.
This is not a personal exemption from your firm's rules. You still need to trade within your firm's own requirements, such as consistency rules, trade frequency limits, or manual-entry requirements. If the way you trade breaks those rules, your account can still be flagged, even though the tool itself is recognized. Staying compliant with your firm's trading rules is your responsibility.
Choosing the right account when signing up with a prop firm
If you are choosing between account options at signup, the broker or data feed determines whether Tradecopia can be used at all:
Confirm the firm offers accounts on a supported broker or data feed: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, or TopStepX (Topstep only)
For Rithmic accounts, confirm the account is Rithmic-backed, not DXFeed or another data feed
Confirm the firm explicitly allows copy trading and third-party platforms
Check whether the specific account tier or challenge type permits copy trading
For Rithmic, confirm the firm can provide a system name or that theirs is already in Tradecopia's reference table
