TradersPost vs Tradeus
TradersPost automates stocks, options, futures and crypto, priced by live account. Tradeus is built for prop accounts and never counts them.
Both products take a signal and turn it into orders on accounts you already hold, and both run in the cloud, so neither asks you to leave a machine on (on our side, MetaTrader 5 aside: there a program in your own terminal places the orders). The difference is shape. TradersPost is broad: stocks, options, futures and crypto, a dozen brokers and a row of signal sources, priced by how many live accounts you connect. Tradeus is narrow: prop-firm accounts — futures on Tradovate and Rithmic, CFDs on TradeLocker, Capital.com and MetaTrader 5, plus Alpaca for US shares and crypto — no count on accounts, and limits that sit on each account rather than on each trade.
Side by side
Every row is what their own page says.
No row below is our opinion of TradersPost. 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.

About TradersPost
TradersPost is a hosted automation service that connects signal sources to brokers across several asset classes. Their home page leads with “Your secret edge in trade execution” and offers to “Execute 100s of trades 100% automatically”, and they publish a reference of the fields a strategy can be configured with, a list of supported connections, and a page naming the prop firms they work with.
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 TradersPost if
You trade more than futures. If stocks, options or crypto are part of what you run, or you want signals coming from TrendSpider, QuantConnect or a Zapier automation rather than only TradingView, TradersPost covers ground this product does not cover at all — and it does it hosted, so you are not giving up the machine-off part to get it.
Choose Tradeus if
You run funded futures accounts, and there are several of them. The two things that decide it are the per-account pricing and where the limits live: paying $10 a month per additional live account changes the arithmetic at six or eight accounts, and a daily loss limit that sits on the account is the control that matters most for a funded account, though it acts once a limit is crossed rather than before.
Questions
What people ask about TradersPost and Tradeus.
Is TradersPost a trade copier?
Their documentation calls the mechanism Strategy Subscriptions: one strategy can be connected to several brokers with different settings, including a paper and a live account in parallel. That covers one signal reaching many accounts. Copying a trade you placed by hand on one broker account to the others is a different mechanism, and it is the one this product is built around — today from a Tradovate, TradeLocker, Rithmic, MetaTrader 5 or Capital.com account.
Can I use both?
Yes, and for a mixed book it is a reasonable setup — TradersPost for the equities and crypto side, this for the funded futures accounts. They are separate services connecting to separate accounts; neither knows about the other.
Which is cheaper?
It depends entirely on how many live accounts you connect, which is why there is no answer here. Their pricing counts live accounts and charges for additional ones; ours does not count them. Put your own number of accounts into both pages.
