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.
