Tradecopia vs Tradeus
Tradecopia copies fills and routes TradingView alerts on its upper tiers only. Tradeus's webhook is on two of its three plans, and it reaches CFDs as well.
Tradecopia is a futures copier built around the same worry this product is built around: the limit that ends a funded account. On risk the two are close, and the page below says so rather than pretending otherwise. They have also moved closer since: a TradingView alert can place the leader’s order there too now, on Pro+ Lite and above. What is left between them is where that sits and how far it reaches — an upper-tier addition to a copier against the thing Tradeus is on every plan, and futures alone against futures and CFDs.
Side by side
Every row is what their own page says.
No row below is our opinion of Tradecopia. Each one links the page on their site it was read from, so you can check it rather than take it — and any row we could not source that way is not on this page at all.
| Tradecopia | ||
|---|---|---|
| Where the software runs | Both, depending on the tier. Their pricing page describes the Pro tier as a “native Windows & Mac client” that runs on your own machine, and the Pro+ tiers as hosted — “always-on, no local machine required” — with the top tier on a dedicated single-tenant VPS.Source: Tradecopia's own page | Hosted on every plan, with no desktop tier and no cheaper option that quietly is one. The one exception is MetaTrader 5, where a small program in your own terminal places the orders, so that terminal has to stay open. |
| What can start a trade | Both, and their own page draws the line between them: “Only fills copy. Tradecopia mirrors the orders that actually execute on your leader, not chart drawings, alerts, or indicators.” The sentence straight after adds that an alert placing the leader’s order “is a separate feature on Pro+ Lite and Pro+”. Their pricing page carries “TradingView strategy alerts routed to your accounts by webhook” under Pro+ Lite and not under Pro.Source: Tradecopia's own page | Both. The copier mirrors fills the same way — from a Tradovate, TradeLocker, Rithmic, MetaTrader 5 or Capital.com leader today — and the webhook takes a TradingView alert on its own, so a strategy can trade accounts on a night you never open the platform. |
| Accounts, and what they cost | “Unlimited follower accounts and unlimited copied orders”, stated as included on all three plans, alongside “per-account risk controls” and independent position sizing.Source: Tradecopia's own page | The same: no count on connections, source accounts or target accounts, on any plan, and sizing set per account. This row is a draw. |
| Limits that stop an account being breached | Their features page lists daily loss limits and daily profit targets per account, trade-frequency limits, distance-to-drawdown monitoring on every connected account, a manual lockout on the web plans, a position reconciler that closes orphan positions, and “Flatten Group” to close all positions across a group at once.Source: Tradecopia's own page | A daily loss limit, a daily profit target and a cap on trades per session (counting the orders we place from your alerts), per account, with a lock that cannot be lifted early; a Flatten all per copy group; and a kill switch that halts every endpoint and copier and closes what is open on every connected account, where the broker allows it. Our drawdown limit resets each session, and nothing here follows the firm’s own drawdown threshold from day to day. On the daily limits this is the row where the two products are closest. |

About Tradecopia
Tradecopia is a trade copier for futures accounts, sold in three tiers: a native desktop client for Windows and macOS, and two hosted tiers, the upper one on a dedicated VPS. Its own framing is “prop-firm safe and risk-aware by default”, and it publishes a page naming 23 prop firms.
Tradeus is a hosted layer between a signal and a funded account. A TradingView alert arrives at an endpoint, a trade on one account is mirrored to the others, and each account carries daily limits of its own: when one is hit, the account locks and we send it no new entry until the lock ends. It runs on our machines: on Tradovate, Rithmic, TradeLocker and Capital.com there is nothing to install and nothing of yours has to be awake, and a MetaTrader 5 account needs its own terminal running. It connects to Tradovate, Rithmic, TradeLocker, Capital.com and MetaTrader 5, which is what the prop firms our users trade with issue credentials for, and to Alpaca for US shares and crypto.
Which one
There is a case for each, and this is it.
Choose Tradecopia if
Your accounts are on platforms we have not wired up. Tradecopia reaches NinjaTrader, Quantower, ATAS and Sierra Chart, and if that is where your funded accounts live then the comparison is over before the other rows matter. Their risk tooling is genuinely comparable, and their desktop tier is the cheaper way in if running on your own machine does not bother you.
Choose Tradeus if
No machine of your own in the path: every plan here is hosted for futures accounts, with no desktop tier. TradingView alerts sit on the upper tiers on both sides, so they do not separate these two products — where the copier runs does.
Questions
What people ask about Tradecopia and Tradeus.
Does Tradecopia support TradingView?
On their upper tiers, yes. Their copy-trading guide says only fills copy — the orders that execute on your leader, not alerts — and adds that an alert placing the leader’s order “is a separate feature on Pro+ Lite and Pro+”. Their pricing page lists “TradingView strategy alerts routed to your accounts by webhook” under Pro+ Lite and not under Pro. We have not tested it ourselves.
Is a desktop copier worse than a hosted one?
Not as such, and we are not going to claim it is. It is a different trade: a desktop client keeps the software on hardware you control, a hosted one keeps running when your hardware does not. Which matters more depends on whether your strategies fire while you are asleep.
Why does this page concede so much?
Because the rows where we are ahead are only worth anything if the rows where we are not are stated too. Tradecopia connects to more platforms than we do, and their risk tooling covers much of the same ground as ours — their features page lists distance-to-drawdown monitoring, which we do not have. Both of those are true, and a page that hid them would not be worth reading on the parts that differ.
