Tradespace is designed to deliver seamless trade synchronization across accounts and brokers, but there are platform-specific and general constraints to be aware of. Familiarizing yourself with these limitations will help you plan your trading approach and avoid unexpected behavior.

​
ATM (Automated Trade Management) — Unsupported Strategy Types

Using unsupported ATM strategy types with Tradespace may result in incomplete risk monitoring and failed trade copy replication including unpredictable trading behavior in those follower accounts. If your workflow depends on any of the ATM types listed below, test thoroughly in a simulation environment before going live.
The following ATM strategy types are not supported by Tradespace’s Trade Copier system:
  • Multi Bracket (multiple Take Profit and Stop Loss targets)
  • Stop Limit
  • Trail Stop
  • Trail Stop Limit
  • Auto Breakeven
  • Auto Trail
  • Auto Breakeven + Auto Trail
If you use these ATM types, Tradespace may not be able to copy those orders correctly. The risk engine may miss position changes, and the Trade Copier may fail to replicate the full bracket structure on follower accounts. Use standard bracket orders instead to ensure full compatibility with trade copying.

​
Stop Limit Orders

Certain types of Stop Limit orders are not supported in Tradespace. It’s important to distinguish between a Stop Limit order and a standard Stop (market) order:
  • Standard Stop (market) orders — commonly used as stop losses — are fully supported.
  • The following Stop Limit orders below are currently not supported in synchronization:
    • Trail Stop
    • Trail Stop Limit
    • Auto Breakeven
    • Auto Trail
    • Auto Breakeven + Auto Trail
If you use stop limits in your strategy, be aware that these stop order types may not be replicated to follower accounts properly. See a more detailed description below of each type.

​
Trailing Stop Orders

Dynamically adjusting stop-loss orders that move with price (trailing stops) are not supported for automated synchronization. If you need to trail a stop, you can do so manually by adjusting the order directly — manual modifications are supported and will sync correctly.

​
Trailing Stop Limit Orders

Trailing Stop Limit orders — which combine a trailing mechanism with a limit condition — are not supported. As with trailing stops, manually moving and updating these orders is an available workaround.

​
Dragging Stop Orders

Moving a Stop order across the current market price (for example, dragging a Buy Stop from above the last traded price to below it so that it triggers immediately) is not supported in Tradespace. This constraint stems from broker-level restrictions — most brokers do not permit this type of stop order repositioning. Tradespace is bound by these broker rules and cannot override them. Context: Chart-based trading interfaces such as TradingView and ProjectX often provide drag-and-drop order management, which can create the expectation that all order types support this behavior. In practice, broker support varies and is not consistent across providers. Limit orders behave differently. Dragging Limit orders across the market price is generally supported across most brokers and data providers (including Tradovate, NinjaTrader, ProjectX, DxFeed, and Rithmic):
  • Dragging a Limit Buy from below the current price to above it will typically execute immediately.
  • Dragging a Limit Sell from above the current price to below it will also typically execute immediately.
This limitation applies specifically to Stop orders — not to Limit orders.

ProjectX Live Account as Leader

At this time, Tradespace does not support a ProjectX Live account as a leader account. This capability is on the roadmap and will be communicated when available.

General Limitations

Tradespace is a cloud-based platform and does not require you to keep your PC or internet connection active. However, for our desktop app, you are required to maintain an active and stable internet connection to maintain risk monitor and copy trading. Brief disconnections may cause delayed enforcement of risk rules or copy trading. If your connection drops, Tradespace cannot monitor your positions or validate orders until the connection is restored. Ensure you have a reliable connection during active trading sessions.Our risk management system can be avoided with the desktop app by closing the app. We are unable to stop users from ending risk management monitoring and enforcement if they completely shut down the desktop app. Only our cloud service is capable of preventing you from evading the risk management system enforcement.
Tradespace monitors positions and P&L continuously, but enforcement is near-real-time rather than instantaneous. In fast-moving markets — particularly during high-volatility events or illiquid conditions — a small overshoot beyond a configured limit is possible before the system detects the breach and reacts.
Set your risk limits slightly more conservative than your absolute hard maximums to account for real-world latency. For example, if your funded account’s maximum daily loss is 1,000,considersettingyourTradespaceDailyLossLimitto1,000, consider setting your Tradespace Daily Loss Limit to 900–$950 to create a buffer against overshoot.
