Trades not copying
Diagnose why trades are not reaching follower accounts or why replication has stopped.
Why didn't my trade execute as expected?The six root cause categories behind unexpected fills, missing orders, slippage, and stop losses not triggering at the expected price.
Why did my follower accounts miss trades that were placed on the leader?Tradecopia can only replicate trades it observes in real time. If the app was offline when a trade was placed, that trade is permanently missed and cannot be recovered.
Why have some of my follower accounts stopped receiving trades?When only some followers stop replicating while others continue, the cause is almost always a dropped broker connection for the affected accounts inside Tradecopia.
Why has replication stopped when my connections and copy group look correct?When everything appears correctly configured but trades are not copying, the most common cause is a disabled replication toggle at the group or follower level.
Why are there duplicate orders or oversized positions on my follower accounts?Duplicate or oversized follower orders almost always mean two trade copiers are connected to the same broker accounts simultaneously.
How to prevent recurring replication issues and keep your accounts in syncThe most common causes of recurring replication instability and the session habits that prevent them.
Order execution and fills
Fixes for fill price differences, rejected orders, limit order issues, and bracket inconsistencies.
Why do my follower accounts drift when I modify a limit or stop order near market price?When a limit or stop order is modified close to the current market price, brokers may reject or process the change inconsistently — causing irreversible position drift across accounts.
Why is my leader account showing more contracts than I placed?Tradecopia cannot open or modify positions on a leader account. If the leader shows an unexpected position size, the cause is on the trading platform or broker side.
Why didn't a limit order fill on my follower account?A limit order that was placed but never filled on a follower is not a replication failure — the order reached the broker correctly but could not be matched at…
Why was my follower's order rejected by the broker?A rejected follower order means the broker received the instruction from Tradecopia but declined to execute it — the rejection reason is always on the broker side.
Why does my stop loss, trailing stop, or bracket replicate inconsistently?How to fix inconsistent replication caused by unsupported order types — stop limit orders, auto trailing stops, and multiple brackets.
My follower account filled at a different price than my leader — what do I check?How to confirm whether fill price differences are broker-side slippage, and what to do if the discrepancy looks abnormal.
Contracts and instruments
Replication issues caused by contract rollovers or instrument-specific behaviour.
Why did replication fail during a futures contract rollover?Replication failures during rollover periods are caused by a timing mismatch between brokers — one platform has rolled to the new front-month contract while another has not.
Why is replication failing for one instrument but not others?How to diagnose instrument-specific replication failures caused by prop firm restrictions, contract size limits, or broker rejections.
