## What is BackTrader?

BackTrader is the cloud-based trade copier built for serious futures traders and prop firm accounts. Mirror every entry, exit, stop, and target from your leader account to unlimited follower accounts in real time - no downloads, no VPS, no missed trades.

Built from the ground up by traders, BackTrader runs entirely in the cloud. Close your laptop, lock your phone, walk away. Your trades keep copying.

WHY TRADERS CHOOSE BACKTRADER

• Real-time copying - Leader fills are detected the moment they happen and pushed to every follower account with minimal latency.
• Limit and stop order copying - BackTrader copies pending orders directly, not just fills, so your accounts enter at the same levels and avoid slippage from fill-propagation delay.
• Always-on infrastructure - Copy trading continues even when the app and your browser are closed. Our server-side engine maintains the connection for you.
• Per-account scaling - Set custom contract multipliers per follower to copy the same strategy across accounts of different sizes.
• Instant configuration - Pause, resume, swap leaders, or change risk rules and it takes effect immediately.

SUPPORTED BROKERS AND PROP FIRMS

BackTrader connects directly to Tradovate and ProjectX, which covers the most popular evaluation and funded account programs, including:
• Topstep
• Apex Trader Funding
• Tradeify
• Lucid Trading
• Alpha Futures
• And most firms routed through Tradovate or ProjectX

ANALYTICS AND JOURNALING INCLUDED

BackTrader is more than a copier. Review every trade with detailed performance analytics, an economic calendar, and a built-in trading journal — so you can improve execution, not just replicate it.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Protect every account with configurable risk rules designed for prop firm requirements. Set limits, guard daily drawdown, and keep followers in sync with your plan.

MOBILE DASHBOARD

Monitor leader and follower positions, live P&L, execution status, and rejections from your iPhone. Get real-time push notifications the instant a trade fires, fills, or fails.

BUILT BY TRADERS, FOR TRADERS

BackTrader was built because existing copiers were slow, unreliable, and clunky. Our dedicated infrastructure connects directly to brokers to give you precise control, faster execution, and a platform that actually understands how prop traders work.

IMPORTANT

BackTrader is a tool for executing and reviewing your own trading decisions. BackTrader does not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.

### 5/5 — Love this copytrader

*2026-06-26, version 1.0.3*

I personally love this copytrader because its an actual app instead of just a website. You get notifications of your fills, and your daily PNL when market closes which is something thats great to see.

### 1/5 — this is worse then getting arrested

*2026-06-08*

so bad, just stick to trade syncer or copy trader, BackTrader almost blew my accounts yesterday, I managed to make it all back and then I go to close the trade and it doesn’t let me, then today it doesn’t even copy my accounts at all, I don’t got 1 good thing to say ngl

### 5/5 — best app

*2026-06-05, version 1.0*

this thing legit

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-04, version 1.0*

Certified 🔥🔥

### 5/5 — Best on the block?

*2026-06-04, version 1.0*

I was sick of getting filled on different sizing, levels, etc across all of my accounts; Backtrader has the most reliable and accurate fills out of every copy trader I’ve used. I can comfortably say that you can rest easy using this as your copy trader and stop worrying about bad trades that are caused by an unreliable copy trading service that punishes sizing

### 5/5 — Best copy trader out there

*2026-06-03, version 1.0*

Every other copy trader doesn’t even give me notifications when you take the trade, but this one does, pops up to the second you take the trade so you know on how many accounts and how many positions you’ve taken the trade and when you execute, it tells you exact PNL everything the second you do it sends you the notification, its so automated and clean and compared to every other copy trader. This has so many features so much more cheaper than every other copy trader out there. This is genuinely the best copier out there when you’re trying to scale accounts and get more payouts. fastest executions I’ve ever seen.

### 5/5 — The BEST trade copier you can get.

*2026-06-03, version 1.0*

Not much explanation needed, no other copier has been this consistent as I’ve had zero issues using it for weeks now, zero discrepancies or glitches or desyncs between accounts, not to mention the fact they have the best / cleanest UI and a mobile app. This is without a doubt the best copier you can get.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-03, version 1.0*

This app genuinely has everything you need. Copytrade, news, discounts, backing testing, journal. This is an amazing app and recommend it to anybody.

### 5/5 — Best copier

*2026-06-03, version 1.0*

You don’t need anything else, run it and don’t this about switching up to some other copier.

### 5/5 — My experience

*2026-06-03, version 1.0*

This app makes copy trading so easier especially on mobile. Would 100% recommend it for every trader!
