How-To Guides

Connect to your broker/prop firm

Add your broker or prop firm as a connection in ETP TradeCopier, verify it connected, and check that your trading accounts imported correctly.

Last verified

Before ETP TradeCopier can monitor or copy trades, it must establish a connection to your broker or trading platform.

Each broker you intend to use must be added as a Connection. Once a connection has been established successfully, TradeCopier automatically imports the trading accounts associated with that broker.

Before You Begin

Before creating your first connection, make sure you have:

  • Your broker or prop firm login credentials
  • An active internet connection
  • Access to the trading account(s) you want to connect

Create a New Connection

  1. Open the Connections page.
  2. Click Add Connection.
  3. Select your broker or trading platform from the available list.
  4. Enter the required connection details.
  5. Click Save.

If the connection is successful, your trading accounts will automatically appear on the Accounts page.

The Add Connection window, with the broker selected and connection details filled in

Verify the Connection

After saving the connection:

  • Confirm that the connection status shows as Connected.
  • Open the Accounts page to verify that your trading accounts have been imported.
  • If your broker provides multiple accounts, each account will be displayed automatically.

Best Practices

  • Create a separate connection for each broker or trading platform you use.
