Free trade copier (2026): what's out there and what copying costs

Free or paid trade copier: how to copy between your funded accounts, what Duplikium, Replikanto and Social Trader Tools offer, and TradiBook.

Anyone trading five or ten funded accounts ends up looking for the same thing: a copier that mirrors trades from one account to the others without paying a fee for each one. Almost all of them charge per account or per license, and with ten accounts that bill adds up every month.

This guide covers the options, how each one charges and what the TradiBook copier does. Disclosure: TradiBook is ours, and the data on the others is what they publish on their websites.

Before copying: what your firm says

Rules first, because a misused copier can cost you a payout. In general:

• Many firms allow copying between your own accounts within the same firm.
• Some limit how many accounts you can have open or copy at once.
• Copying someone else's trades, or between accounts held by different people, is usually prohibited.
• Some also check whether you replicate the same trading at other firms.

Each firm words it differently and changes it from time to time: read their terms before turning on the copier, not after requesting a payout.

Is there a free copier?

For MetaTrader there are free EAs that copy between terminals on the same computer. They're fine for testing, but there's no support, nobody answers if an order doesn't copy and few handle failures well. With a firm's money at stake, that's a lot of risk to save a fee.

At TradiBook the journal is free and the copier is on the paid plans, with no fee per copying account. Programa Despegue clients get it included.

What the TradiBook copier does

Account groups

You set up groups: one master account and its followers. You trade on the master and the rest copy. You can have one group per firm or per strategy, and turn one off without touching the others.

Size per account

Each follower has its own multiplier: the 50,000 at 1x and the 100,000 at 2x. If you prefer a fixed number, enter the contracts and the multiplier is ignored. You can also reverse the copy on an account or limit the hours it copies.

MetaTrader and NinjaTrader

It works with MetaTrader through an EA and with NinjaTrader through an AddOn. In our tests between accounts on the same NinjaTrader, the copy goes out in 5 to 20 milliseconds. If you scalp the Nasdaq, that matters more than any other feature.

Access is tied to your computer, so nobody can use your key from another machine.

Live positions and close all

The panel shows each group with its accounts, size, position and result in real time. From the row you pause copying or close an account, and with one tap you close the whole group. Below you have positions, activity and orders, and an alert every time an order is copied.

Closing the group in one tap is what saves you when the market turns after a news release and you have ten accounts open.

One signal, not ten

In the journal, a trade copied to ten accounts counts as one signal. Win rate and analytics are calculated on signals; money, on each account. If the journal counted ten trades, all your stats would be inflated.

Review of the alternatives

Duplikium

The good: it runs in the cloud, so it doesn't depend on your computer being on, and it covers several platforms.

The bad: the fee grows with the number of accounts, and orders go through their servers, adding latency compared with copying on the same machine. Current prices on their site.

Who it's for: MetaTrader traders working from several places who don't want a computer on all day.

Replikanto

The good: built for NinjaTrader 8 and one of the most used among futures traders with several accounts.

The bad: NinjaTrader only, a separate paid license and no journal: you keep your account data somewhere else.

Who it's for: NinjaTrader traders who already have a journal and just want to copy.

Social Trader Tools

The good: cloud copier with a web panel, designed both for copying your own accounts and for signal providers.

The bad: paid plans by number of accounts and, like anything cloud-based, it depends on the connection to their servers. Platforms and prices on their site.

Who it's for: traders copying MetaTrader accounts who want to manage everything from the browser.

The risks of copying

A copier multiplies wins and mistakes equally: a bad day on the master is a bad day on ten accounts. And with all of them copying the same signal there's no diversification, just size. We go through it in trade copiers: what they are and which to use.

Before turning a group on, check three things:

• That each account's multiplier respects its max contracts
• That the smallest account's daily limit can take your stop times its multiplier
• That the consistency rule doesn't trigger on all of them the same day

Start free with the journal and see how your accounts are doing before setting them to copy.

WHO WRITES THIS

Alejandro Santiago

Funded account trader and trading coach: he reviews other traders' trading and helps them stop blowing accounts. That's where TradiBook came from. He didn't build it to sell a product: he built it because he needed to track his own accounts and no tool measured what mattered to him. Building it for his case, it ended up fitting anyone who trades funded accounts, because the problems are the same: the floor that moves, the accounts lost along the way and the plan that isn't followed.
