One decision, copied to each prop account you connect, with its own loss limit if you set one.
Running six evaluations at once usually means making one decision six times, at different firms and sometimes on different platforms. Tradeus repeats it for you: one leader account and any number of followers, or one TradingView alert reaching every subscribed account, each sized for itself. Two things matter most on prop accounts, and both are covered below: the price does not grow with the number of accounts, and a daily loss limit you set sits on one account, not on the whole group. Whether your firm permits copying is its rule, not ours, so read your own account's terms first.
One leader, followers at other firms
A copy group is one leader account and any number of followers, each sized for itself. Orders Tradeus places on the leader are copied to the followers, and a close is copied the same way an open is. Whether a trade you place by hand on the leader is copied too depends on the leader's broker rather than on a setting in the group, and the readiness panel says, before you trade, whether the next trade would be copied. The followers may sit at a second or third prop firm on a different broker, as long as both sides trade the same market: futures accounts on Rithmic or Tradovate copy to futures accounts, and CFD accounts on TradeLocker, Capital.com or MetaTrader 5 copy to each other. A MetaTrader 5 account is reached through a small program in your own MT5 terminal, so that terminal has to be running for a copy to land. If the decision comes from a chart instead, one TradingView alert reaches every subscribed account, on Algo or Unlimited. To keep the firms apart, pick the firm on the connect screen before the platform it gave you: Broker setup then lists each firm's connections under a heading of its own, and Edit firm files a login you connected before. A nickname of your own, set with the pencil beside an account, is what the copier shows in place of the broker's number, so Apex 1 and Tradeify 2 stop being two account numbers. The handbook page on connecting a prop firm account walks through it.
No price per account
No plan counts what you own. Broker connections, source accounts, target accounts, copy groups and followers are unlimited on all three plans, so one funded account or fifteen costs the same. The plans differ by how much automation runs instead. Manual is the complete copier with no TradingView webhook and no risk-dollar sizing. Algo adds the webhook with three strategies and risk-dollar sizing per follower. Unlimited lifts the strategy limit. Because nothing counts accounts, moving to a smaller plan can never cost you a connection. The prices themselves are on the pricing page rather than typed here, because they are set at the checkout and a figure copied onto this page would be free to go stale.
A daily loss limit you set, per account
The account lock sits on the account, not on the strategy or the group, so each evaluation can carry its own figures and none has to share a policy with another. A loss counts toward its limits whether the order came from a strategy, the copier or your own hand. When a limit is reached the account locks: what is open on it is closed where the broker lets Tradeus close, and no new entries from your alerts or the copier are sent to it. A trade you open by hand during a lock is closed again only if you switch that on. If a follower locks, the rest of the group keeps copying, because the lock belongs to that one account. The lock cannot be lifted early, and it holds until the next session, which rolls at 17:00 New York, or for the hours you choose. Every limit and the kill switch come with every plan, the cheapest included.
What the limit does not do
It is not weighed against each order. A watchdog re-reads each armed account about every five seconds, sooner on brokers that push position changes, and locks the account once a limit has been reached. The order that crosses the limit has already gone through by then, and a fast market can carry the loss past your figure before the close fills, so set it with that room in mind. The lock's drawdown is also a daily one that starts again every session. It is not your firm's own drawdown rule, and Tradeus does not track that number yet: read it at the firm and set the daily figures with what is left in mind.
Whether your firm permits it
That is the firm's answer to give, and it can differ between firms and between accounts at one firm. Nothing here checks it and nothing here can: the only authority on what your account permits is the agreement you signed. Read your own account's terms before you connect it, at every firm you hold an evaluation with. If your firm forbids copying, a setting here will not make it permitted.
Before the first copied trade
Connect every login you hold, and start on an evaluation rather than a funded account: Tradeus places real orders and does not simulate, delay or second-guess them. A login connected here belongs to one Tradeus account, so the same account cannot run under two Tradeus subscriptions at once. On Manual a follower copies the leader one for one, capped by max contracts if you set it. On Algo and Unlimited it can risk a dollar amount per trade instead, worked back from the stop distance; a trade placed by hand states no distance, so it is copied one for one unless a minimum stop distance is set. Read the readiness panel, which says whether the next trade would be copied and names each blocker; if it says yes, place the smallest trade you can on the leader and watch it land.

Questions people ask first
Does the price go up with each evaluation I add?
No. No plan counts broker connections, source accounts, target accounts, copy groups or followers, so adding a seventh evaluation does not change what you pay here. The plans are separated by automation instead: the TradingView webhook, how many strategies you run and risk-dollar sizing. Current prices are on the pricing page rather than typed here, because they are set at the checkout and a typed figure is one that can go stale.
Is the daily loss limit shared across a copy group?
No. It sits on each account, and each account's limits are independent, so a small evaluation and a larger funded account do not have to share a policy. When one follower reaches its limit, that account locks, what is open on it is closed where the broker lets Tradeus close, and the copier sends it no new entries. The other followers in the group keep copying, each under its own limits if you set any.
Will it stop an order that would breach my limit?
No, and that is worth knowing before you rely on it. The limit is re-read about every five seconds and acts once it has been crossed, so the order that crosses it has already gone through, and a fast market can carry the loss past your figure before the close fills. What is held back is a new entry on an account that is already locked. Set the figure with that room in mind.
Does my prop firm allow copy trading?
That is your firm's answer to give, not ours, and it can differ from one account to another. Nothing here checks your firm's rules. Read your own account's terms before you connect it, at every firm you hold an evaluation with.
Can the leader and the followers be on different platforms?
Yes, as long as both trade the same market. A futures leader on Rithmic or Tradovate takes futures followers on either; a CFD leader on TradeLocker, Capital.com or MetaTrader 5 takes CFD followers from any of the three. A micro contract and a CFD lot are different instruments, so the two are not mixed in one group. TopstepX and cTrader are not connectable today, and NinjaTrader is not supported.

Every evaluation you run, one decision, one price.
Connect the accounts you already hold and copy one decision to all of them. No plan counts accounts, so the seventh evaluation costs what the first did.
