1) How trade copying works
Tradesyncer monitors activity on the account you’re copying from (your leader account). When the leader account generates order events like:
working
fills
cancels
modify
…Tradesyncer copies those events to the accounts you’re copying to (your follower accounts), using your configured sizing settings.
2) Cloud copying vs “local copiers”
Because Tradesyncer is cloud-based:
copying doesn’t depend on your computer being on and a copier application to be running
copying isn’t affected by your PC performance
you can trade from anywhere (desktop or mobile) as long as broker connections are healthy
3) Broker connections: what to know
Tradesyncer connects to brokers using broker-supported APIs and secure sessions (OAuth/API keys/credentials depending on the broker).
Important: broker sessions can still be interrupted due to maintenance, authentication refresh, broker-side outages, or platform limits. If a broker connection is disrupted, copying may be interrupted until the connection becomes healthy again or is reconnect manually.
4) Critical rule: avoid overlapping copy systems
Only one copier should control an account at a time.
If you overlap copying systems, you can trigger:
duplicate entries or copying loops
conflicting cancels/modifications
unexpected trade management
Do this
Disable Tradovate Group Trade
Disable other third-party copiers
Never assign the same account to multiple copy systems simultaneously
5) Order type compatibility (especially brackets)
Tradesyncer works best with simple bracket / ATM-style workflows.

6) Built-in safety: Follower Protection
In real markets, followers can diverge for reasons like partial fills, latency, or broker-side rejections. Tradesyncer offers Follower Protection to help reduce the chance of follower accounts being left in an unexpected state.
