Tooling and execution

# Trade copier

Software that mirrors orders from a source account to one or more destination accounts, scaling position size to each. It is the mechanism behind copy trading and multi-account management.

Also called: Trade replication engine

GFN’s figure

Running a copier across your own GFN accounts stays inside the $400,000 total allocation cap and still has to satisfy every rule on each account independently - including the 2 minutes minimum hold and each account's own drawdown floor.

In detail

## Trade copier, explained

Copiers introduce two problems of their own: a small execution delay between source and destination, and the risk that a sizing error is replicated everywhere at once.

Where several accounts are copied from one source, the resulting activity is identical by design - which is exactly the pattern a firm reviews when it appears across unrelated customers.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Copy trading](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/copy-trading) - Replicating trades from one account to another automatically. Copying between your own accounts is a scaling tool; copying another person's trades, or letting them trade yours, is a different activity entirely.
- [Maximum allocation](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/maximum-allocation) - The ceiling on how much simulated capital one trader may hold across every account with a firm. It is the real limit on how large a trader can get, and it is often lower than the largest account on sale suggests.
- [Expert advisor](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/expert-advisor) - A program that places trades automatically according to coded rules. It executes a strategy without a trader present, which removes hesitation and removes judgement at the same time.
- [Account sharing](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/account-sharing) - Letting someone else trade your account, or trading an account belonging to someone else. It defeats the purpose of an assessment of an individual, and it is prohibited everywhere in the industry without exception.
- [Latency](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/latency) - The delay between an action and its effect - an order leaving your machine and reaching the venue, or a price leaving the venue and reaching your screen. Measured in milliseconds.
