Apex Trade Copier: Copy Your Manual Trades From TradingView to Your Apex Accounts
Complete setup guide for automated trade copying across multiple Apex Trader Funding accounts using PickMyTrade and Tradovate.
Introduction
Copy Trading in Apex Trader Funding
An Apex trade copier mirrors one trade to all of your Apex Trader Funding accounts at the same time. PickMyTrade's Manual Trade Copier does this by replicating an order you place yourself — by hand, in an account you're actively trading — across every other Apex account you connect, with matching stop loss and take profit prices and no VPS to run. This is a different shape from a TradingView alert firing the order directly; see below for what Apex's rules mean for each. Apex Trader Funding is one of the most popular futures prop firms, with Apex 4.0 funded accounts from $25,000 to $150,000.
While Apex uses Tradovate as their trading platform, there's no built-in copy trading functionality. This guide will walk you through how to set up professional trade copying with your Apex Trader Funding accounts using PickMyTrade.
Whether you're managing multiple evaluation accounts or copying trades to funded accounts, this guide covers everything you need to know.
Ways to Copy Trades in Apex Trader Funding
Select the best method for your trading needs
Method 1: PickMyTrade Trade Copier (Recommended)
Use PickMyTrade to connect your TradingView strategies directly to Apex Trader Funding via Tradovate. Fully automated execution with trade replication across all your connected accounts, no per-account fee.
Method 3: Manual Copying
Manual copying is not recommended. It is time-consuming, prone to slippage and errors, and does not scale across multiple accounts.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Get started with Apex Trader Funding copy trading in under 5 minutes
Connect your Tradovate login
Connect your Tradovate login to PickMyTrade (choose Demo Mode for Apex and other prop firm accounts). Followers under the same Tradovate login are picked from the account dropdown; followers under a different Tradovate login need their own PickMyTrade account, and you enter that account's token.
Select your admin account
Open the Manual Trade Copier and select your admin account. Only one admin account is supported.
Add followers and set multipliers
Add each follower, set a quantity multiplier for it and switch it to Active.
Start the copier
Click "Click to Start".
Place your trade by hand
Place your trade by hand in TradingView, through the connected admin account. The copier supports market, limit, stop and stop-limit orders, with stop-loss and take-profit brackets on market entries only. Trailing stop, break-even, auto-trail and multi-target orders are not copied.
Check Trade History
Open the Trade History tab to confirm each follower account received the order.

Best Practices
Tips for Successful Apex Trader Funding Copy Trading
To ensure successful copy trading with your Apex Trader Funding accounts, follow these essential guidelines:
Start with Demo Mode
Test your copy trading setup with a demo account before going live to ensure everything works as expected.
Use Proper Position Sizing
Scale positions appropriately based on account size. Use quantity multipliers to match risk levels across different account sizes.
Respect Apex Rules
Be aware of Apex's consistency rule (50% on 4.0 accounts, 30% on Legacy 3.0) and trailing drawdown. Configure your copy settings to stay compliant.
Regular Monitoring
Periodically review performance and execution logs. Adjust settings as needed to optimize your copy trading strategy.
Apex Manual Order Submission Requirement: what the copier can and cannot do
Apex's User Agreement requires that each order be "initiated manually by the User through a discrete and intentional action for each individual order" and prohibits "pre-configured bots, scripts, or strategies that place, modify, or cancel orders based on preset conditions, signals, or market events". Apex allows copy trading only when you manually submit each order in one account you control and your other accounts, all owned by you, mirror those orders.
The PickMyTrade Manual Trade Copier works that way: you place the trade by hand in TradingView's Tradovate panel on your admin account and PickMyTrade mirrors it to your follower accounts. TradingView alert automation places orders from signals, so do not use it on Apex accounts.
Source: Apex Trader Funding User Agreement, checked 27 October 2026. Check Apex's current rules before you connect any account.
Does Apex Trader Funding Allow Copy Trading?
Apex sets its own rules on automated and copy trading across accounts, and those rules change over time. PickMyTrade cannot state a blanket policy on Apex's behalf, and no tool can promise permission that only Apex can grant.
What PickMyTrade does is mechanical: it takes a trade you place by hand and replicates it across the Apex accounts you connect. You stay in control of the strategy and stay responsible for following Apex's current automation and copy-trading policy.
Before connecting a funded or evaluation account, confirm Apex's current policy directly with Apex. If Apex updates its rules, keeping your accounts compliant is your responsibility.

Apex trade copier vs other copiers
There are a few ways to copy trades on Apex, and they suit different traders. Apex's own Tradovate Group Copier mirrors fills between your Apex accounts that sit under one Tradovate login, which is handy if you place trades manually inside Tradovate. PickMyTrade adds the part that the built-in tool does not do: it takes the signal from your TradingView strategy and turns that into copied trades across your Apex accounts, automatically, from the cloud.
If your edge lives in a TradingView strategy or indicator, a TradingView-native copier like PickMyTrade is the natural fit, because your alerts are the trigger and there is no desktop software or VPS in the loop. It also works beyond Apex: the same account can copy across other Tradovate-powered prop firms, which is useful if you run more than one firm.
Apex trade copier troubleshooting
If a follower account does not receive a trade, check in this order: the Tradovate connection shows green for the admin and the follower, the follower is set to Active and the copier is started (Click to Start), and the order type is supported (market, limit, stop or stop-limit; brackets on market entries only).
For a follower under a different Tradovate login, check that the PickMyTrade token you entered belongs to that login. The Trade History tab shows the order ID and a success or failure message for each follower, so you can verify every copy. Copying does not guarantee identical fills.
Apex Trade Copier FAQ
An Apex trade copier mirrors one trade you place by hand on your admin account across your other Apex Trader Funding evaluation and funded accounts, so you do not repeat the order on each one.
Apex's own rules on automated and copy trading change over time, and PickMyTrade cannot state a blanket policy on your behalf. PickMyTrade only ever executes the signals you send to your own accounts. Always confirm Apex's current automation and copy-trading policy directly with Apex before connecting a funded account.
Apex caps active PA accounts at 20 per individual trader. PickMyTrade itself adds no extra limit or per-account fee beyond that cap, so you can connect and copy across every active PA account you are allowed to run.
Apex's consistency rule is 50% on 4.0 accounts and 30% on Legacy 3.0 accounts, meaning no single day's profit can exceed that share of your total profit. PickMyTrade's quantity multipliers and per-account position limits let you size each account's copied trades individually, which makes it easier to keep every account inside its own risk and consistency limits. Staying compliant is your responsibility.
PickMyTrade is $50/month or $500/year, with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required. That price covers every connected account and broker under one login, with no extra per-account or per-trade fee for copying to additional Apex accounts.
PickMyTrade processes your order in under 200ms on our side once your TradingView alert or manual trade fires. Total fill time also depends on your broker (Tradovate or Rithmic), network latency, and how quickly TradingView sends the alert.
Yes. Alongside the TradingView webhook method, PickMyTrade includes a manual trade copier: place a trade by hand on your source account and it replicates automatically to your connected Apex accounts.
No. Connecting your Apex accounts and generating the TradingView alert are both no-code steps inside the PickMyTrade dashboard. Paste the generated webhook URL and alert message into TradingView and you are set up.
Market, Limit and Stop orders, with five ways to configure stop-loss and take-profit: points or dollar value, percentage, price levels, ticks, or total profit and loss, plus trailing stops, reverse-on-signal, and scale-in.
Manual copying across several Apex accounts is slow, error-prone, and does not scale past a couple of accounts. PickMyTrade removes that bottleneck: one signal, replicated automatically and consistently across every connected account, with the risk settings you configured ahead of time.
