In this article, we are going to go through which proprietary trading firms allow traders to use trade copiers for trading.
Note that despite the list, you should consider asking the desired prop trading firm about the use of trade copiers and not use them until you get approval! In addition, you should also consider that you shouldn’t be using trade copiers to copy trades from third-party signal providers because you are running the risk of breaching the maximum allocation rule of a particular proprietary trading firm since more traders can be using the same signal provider!

Your list is misleading. I just read the terms & conditions of My Forex Funds and they clearly state the trade copiers are not allowed:
Rule #5
Expert Advisers & robot usage
We allow Expert adviser/robot trading on your accounts. We no longer require you to send us your source code unless there is suspicion of the following:
Tick scalping, Arbitrage, signals from a 3rd party, gap trading, account management services or any other services that break our other rules.
Using third party expert advisers is OK so long as it is not managed or traded by another party. All signals must be your own and based on your own set up.
Prop trading is about your ability to trade and not about using other peoples ability to trade.
Rule #6
Account types, details and house keeping
After program purchase you will receive your login details within 24-48 hours. You are not allowed to change the details of this account under any circumstances. Doing so will be a breach and your account will be suspended.
At My Forex Funds, we are looking for individual traders to grow with us long term. What this means is that we want YOU to be the trader. Its ok to learn your skills from other experts, however, use of signal bots, trade management services or trade copiers will not be accepted. If we notice someone using these services, we will suspend their account.
This rule may not apply if you have submitted your expert adviser or bot for prior approval and approval has been granted.
We are constantly monitoring all accounts to make sure the rules are being followed.
Hello Mike. Kindly note that trade copiers are allowed as long as you are copying trades from your own account and not from a 3rd party. The problem with copying from a 3rd party is that you can breach the maximum allocation capital rule, which results in account termination.
you are allowed to use trader copier for theproptrading. ‘Trade copier is allowed if you are copying from your own external account to one of our TPT Evaluation Program or Funded accounts.’
Thank you for your comment. You are correct, we have updated the prop fact.
Does anyone know a prop firm that does allow 3rd party copy trading
We advise you not to use third-party copy trading services while working with proprietary trading firms since they have a maximum allocation capital rule. This means that if more users are using the same third-party copy trading service, there is a high probability that your accounts will be closed due to a violation if the maximum allocation capital is breached.
But how would they know you’re using a copier
Kindly note that when a trader uses any type of EA, it is seen in the trading platform that you are using (MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader,..). This can be seen by yourself and the proprietary trading firm since you are trading on their account.
what if the trade copier is actually making copies of my own trade but from one prop firm account to another prop firm account.
so for example, I’m maxed out at 600k for mff and then wanna copy my same trade to the funded trader account, using a trade copier( web-based one like, social trader)
do you have any info as to wether or not this can work?
thanks
Kindly note that this is allowed as long as the proprietary trading firm allows the use of a trade copier. You are allowed to do so since you aren’t breaching the maximum allocation capital. However, keep in mind that if you allow other individuals to copy trades from you and they do so on the same proprietary trading firm, you have your maximum allocation capital maxed out. They will close your and the other person’s accounts since the maximum allocation capital rule will be breached.
what if the trade I’m copying are actually my own signals. Just I’m copying from one prop firm account to a different prop firm account.
so, say I’m maxed out on MFF at 600k, but still wanna manage more accounts with another prop firm like TFF. can I use a trade copier (web-based copier : Social Trader) to do this?
thanks
