TRADOVATE GROUP COPIER
This is the user guide for 'Tradovate Group Copier'.
Quick Notes:
1. This copier can support the followings:
- work with prop firm practice/demo accounts.
- can use a 'real' Tradovate account as 'leader' signal leader
- can copy to other prop firms' Tradovate accounts.
- can accommodate multiple 'leader' accounts and multiple 'follower' accounts.
- can do cross order by self defined symbol mapping rule between 'leader' and 'follower' accounts, e.g. mini to micro ES to MES, or micro to mini MNQ to NQ, or even different symbol ES to YM.
2. Please note this copier suite does *not* use Tradovate API. It sends out trading requests to Tradovate server directly from your own machine.
3. Tradovate does have the restrictions on how many Tradovate accounts can log in at the same computer/VPS - but the actual concurrent login numbers and rate limits are not explicitly written at their public documents. You could use no more than 10 accounts to try first.
If you get any issue on such restriction, the quick solution is to use another computer or VPS for addition accounts at different IP address that restriction will be reset.
