# Trade Copier: Replicate Trades Across Multiple Accounts

> Automatically replicate trades from a leader account to one or more follower accounts in real time — no extra software or plugins required.

The Trade Copier lets you designate one account as a **leader** and automatically replicate every trade it makes to one or more **follower** accounts in real time. Whether you're managing multiple funded accounts, scaling a proven strategy, or copying across brokers, the Trade Copier handles the execution so you can focus on trading.

## How It Works

The Trade Copier is built around a leader/follower model. Your **leader account** trades exactly as it normally would — you place orders through NinjaTrader, Tradovate, or any other supported platform just like always. Tradespace sits in the middle and listens for order and fill activity on the leader account. The moment activity is detected, Tradespace immediately sends the corresponding orders to every follower account you have configured.

No additional software, plugins, or scripts are required beyond your normal trading platform. Once your copy group is set up and enabled in Tradespace, the replication happens automatically in the background.

## Execution Modes

Tradespace gives you two distinct modes for controlling how each follower responds to leader activity. You can choose the mode that best fits your priorities for each individual follower.

**Order Mode**
Followers mirror the leader's orders as they are placed — matching the same order type, contract size, and direction. Because followers act at the moment the leader submits an order, entries and exits are as synchronized as possible across all accounts.

> Best for: situations where timing and order-type consistency across accounts matter most.

**Execution Mode**
Followers wait for a confirmed fill on the leader account before taking action. Once the leader's fill is confirmed, each follower sends a market order to replicate the position. This approach prioritizes fill certainty on followers over split-second timing.

> Best for: situations where you need confidence that the leader actually got filled before committing followers to the market.

<Note>
  Each follower account can be independently set to **Order Mode** or **Execution Mode**. You are not locked into a single mode for the entire copy group.
