Question 1

Which platforms are supported?

Accepted Answer

Nine platforms across Forex and Futures. Forex / CFD: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradeLocker, DXTrade, and MatchTrader. Futures: DXFeed, Rithmic, and NinjaTrader. MetaTrader 4 connects as a receiver and for journaling — it isn't available as a copy source.

Question 2

Which markets does Trada support?

Accepted Answer

Forex and Futures. A single copier runs one market type — you don't mix Forex and Futures in the same copier — so you'd set up a separate copier per market.

Question 3

Does Trada require a VPS or bridge software?

Accepted Answer

No. Trada is fully cloud-based. MetaTrader 4 and 5 run in isolated containers on our infrastructure; every other platform connects through its native API. There's no VPS to rent and no bridge software to install.

Question 4

Is Trada compatible with prop firms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You set daily and overall loss / profit thresholds per account, and Trada enforces the thresholds you configure. Reverse Positions is auto-disabled on prop firm accounts, and reports are shareable as a read-only link. Trada doesn't know each firm's specific rules — verify your firm's limits and set your thresholds to match.

Question 5

Can I use Trada across multiple prop firm accounts simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connect accounts from different prop firms and mirror one source account across all of them, up to your plan's account quota.

Question 6

How many accounts can I connect?

Accepted Answer

The free plan connects 2 accounts with 1 copier. Paid plans scale up: Starter 5, Pro 10, Elite 25, and Enterprise 50+. Each connected account mirrors your source in real time.

Question 7

How does the risk protection work?

Accepted Answer

You set four threshold types per account — daily loss, daily profit, max account loss, and max account profit — in percent or dollars. When a receiver hits one, the actions you enabled fire together: send a notification, stop the copier, or flatten the account.

Question 8

Does Trada enforce risk rules automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once set, thresholds are monitored continuously, and the actions you chose fire on their own when a level is hit — whether or not you're at your desk. Trada enforces the thresholds you configure; it doesn't apply any firm's rules for you.

Question 9

What does 'flatten all positions' mean?

Accepted Answer

Flatten is one of the actions you can attach to a threshold. When it fires, Trada closes all open positions on that account. It's the hard-stop option — use it when you want the account fully out at a limit.

Question 10

How is the journal populated?

Accepted Answer

Every closed trade syncs from your connected accounts automatically — instrument, direction, size, entry, exit, and P&L. Execution data is read-only; you never type trades in by hand.

Question 11

How does emotional state tracking work?

Accepted Answer

You tag each trade with an emotional state on a five-point scale — Bad, Poor, Regular, Good, Excellent. You can then filter your history by state and read it against the outcomes yourself. Trada records the annotation; it doesn't compute the correlation for you.

Question 12

Is there automatic pattern detection or AI analysis?

Accepted Answer

No. The journal is a structured record. There's no automated pattern detection or AI analysis — every insight comes from reviewing your own annotated trades.

Question 13

Can I share journal reports with a prop firm?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can turn a report into a read-only public link — a static snapshot you can send to a firm. It doesn't update as new trades come in.

Question 14

How fast are copied trades executed?

Accepted Answer

Trades mirror in real time. Trada connects to each platform through its API, with no bridge servers in between adding routing steps. Actual fill time still depends on your broker's response and network conditions.

Question 15

What happens if there is a connectivity issue?

Accepted Answer

Trada monitors connection status continuously and notifies you if a receiver drops. It doesn't reconstruct missed trades after the fact — a copier only acts on trades placed while the connection is live.

Question 16

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free connects 2 accounts with 1 copier and includes protection and journaling. Paid plans start at $44 per month.

Question 17

What do the paid plans include?

Accepted Answer

Paid pricing is published on the pricing page: Starter $44/mo, Pro $74/mo, Elite $129/mo, and Enterprise $219/mo, with annual billing at ten months' price — two months free. Every paid plan adds more connected accounts and copiers on top of protection and journaling; Starter and up also include advanced analytics and the custom strategy builder.

Question 18

Can I change plans?

Accepted Answer

Plans can move up or down as your needs change, and changes take effect from the start of the next billing cycle. Cancellation is handled through support rather than self-serve.

Question 19

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Connections are encrypted, and Trada connects through read- and trade-only API keys — never your broker login. Your trading data is tied to your account and isn't sold or shared with third parties.

Question 20

Does Trada have access to withdraw funds?

Accepted Answer

No. Trada uses read- and trade-only API keys. Withdrawal permission is never requested and can't be granted through the connection flow.

Question 21

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

Your data runs on cloud infrastructure with standard data-protection practices, tied to your account and not shared with third parties.
