Cross-Platform Trade Copying
cTrader to TradeLocker
Copying trades from cTrader to TradeLocker bridges two modern, API-native trading platforms. Both are widely used in the prop firm space, and TradeCopier.cloud's integration with both platforms enables reliable, low-latency trade replication between them.
cTrader
cTrader is a professional-grade platform known for its fast execution, Level II pricing, and open API. It's built on the cTrader Open API standard which makes it one of the most integration-friendly platforms in the industry. Many ECN brokers and a growing number of prop firms use cTrader as their primary platform.
TradeLocker
TradeLocker is a cloud-native trading platform that has gained significant traction among prop firms. Its REST and WebSocket APIs allow deep integration, and its clean interface makes it popular among retail-oriented prop firm traders. It supports a broad range of instruments including forex, commodities, indices, and crypto.
Why copy from cTrader to TradeLocker?
Prop traders often receive funded accounts on TradeLocker from firms that use it as their primary platform, while their personal trading account or primary strategy runs on cTrader at an ECN broker. Copying from cTrader to TradeLocker means every trade on the personal account is automatically mirrored on the funded account — maximising consistency and minimising manual effort.
How it works
TradeCopier.cloud integrates with the cTrader Open API and the TradeLocker API simultaneously. Trade events from the cTrader master are relayed to the TradeLocker slave in real time. Lot sizing, symbol mapping, and filtering options are fully configurable.
Things to consider
cTrader's position ID system and TradeLocker's order management model differ internally. TradeCopier.cloud abstracts these differences, but traders should be aware that complex hedging configurations on cTrader may behave differently on TradeLocker depending on the prop firm's account settings.
Frequently asked questions
Can I copy from TradeLocker to cTrader instead?
Yes. The master/slave direction is fully configurable. TradeLocker can be set as the master and cTrader as the slave.
Are there any restrictions on which cTrader brokers are supported?
Any broker using the standard cTrader Open API is supported. This covers nearly all cTrader brokers.
How does TradeCopier.cloud handle partial closes between the two platforms?
Partial closes on the master are replicated as proportional partial closes on the slave account.
