Pro+ Lite and Pro+ run on Tradecopia's infrastructure, not on your local machine. The requirements to get started are minimal compared to the desktop plan.
You might need this article if:

You're comparing web plan requirements against the desktop plan requirements
What you need
Requirement | Detail |
Tradecopia account | An active Pro+ Lite or Pro+ subscription |
Web browser | Any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge |
Internet connection | Any stable internet connection |
Broker credentials | Active login credentials for each account you want to connect |
That is the complete list. There are no hardware specifications, no operating system requirements, and no software to install.
No local hardware requirements
Unlike the desktop Pro plan, your computer's CPU, RAM, storage, and network adapter have no bearing on Pro+ Lite or Pro+ performance. Tradecopia handles all processing on its own infrastructure. Your local machine is used only to access the browser interface. The replication itself runs remotely.
This means:
You do not need to keep your computer powered on while trading
You can access your setup from any device: laptop, desktop, Chromebook, tablet, or mobile
Replication continues uninterrupted if your device loses connection or goes offline
Browser access
Log in to your account at the Tradecopia portal. Your Pro+ Lite or Pro+ environment is ready as soon as your subscription is active, no installation step required.
Any device with a modern web browser can access the interface. This includes Chromebooks, as well as iOS and Android phones and tablets. There is no operating system requirement. If your browser is up to date, it will work.
Broker credentials
You need active login credentials for each broker account you want to connect through Tradecopia. The same credentials you would use for a desktop setup apply on web plans. There is no difference in broker connection requirements by plan.
Supported brokers: Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TopStepX, and Rithmic.
Comparing to desktop requirements
The desktop Pro plan requires local hardware (minimum 8 GB RAM, modern CPU, SSD recommended), a stable wired Ethernet connection, and a machine that stays on throughout your trading session. None of these apply to web plans.
