Copy Trading Overview

Copy trading is for subscribed members who want to follow other traders (pilots) and mirror their trades into a broker account you link inside Trade Echo. You connect your broker once through a secure partner (SnapTrade), pick who to copy, set your preferences, and track results from one place.

You do not need to stay on the Copy Trading page all day. Once you are set up, the platform can process copy activity while you use other parts of Trade Echo or step away (you may still get alerts if a trade needs your approval).

Who this is for

If you are following pilots, you are a subscriber. If others follow you, you are a pilot (trader). The app shows different tabs and labels depending on your role. You can switch or confirm your role when the app asks.

Can't see Copy Trading?

Copy trading is rolled out gradually. If you do not see Copy Trading in the menu, or the page is blank after you open it, your plan or region may not include it yet, or we may still be turning it on for your account. Contact support and we can check your access.

Open Copy Trading​

  1. Sign in to Trade Echo on the web.
  2. Open Copy Trading from the main navigation (same place you find Option Flow, Dealer Edge, and other tools).

Subscriber vs pilot - what you see​

If you are a...You will see...
Subscriber (you copy others)Copy Performance Score, how many traders you copy, plus tabs like Traders, Leaderboard, Performance, and Settings (plus Overview, Broker Accounts, Positions).
Pilot (others copy you)Trading Performance Score, Active Followers, and the same Overview, Broker Accounts, and Positions tabs, without the subscriber-only discovery tabs.

The app only shows tabs that apply to you.

Trade Echo can connect to your broker for two different reasons:

  • Trade journal / Broker Sync - Import or sync trades for your own records.
  • Copy Trading - Send copied orders to your broker when you follow a pilot.

Those are separate connections. If you already use Broker Sync, you still need to connect your broker inside Copy Trading if you want to copy trades. That keeps journaling and copy trading independent and easier to manage.

Live updates​

Numbers and lists update live while you are in the app. If something looks stuck, use Refresh on the Overview tab or switch away and back to the tab you care about.
