MyFundedFutures Copy Trading Rules 2026: Tradesyncer, Bots and the Merge to Live

We are a competing prop firm, so read our comparison at the end with that in mind. Everything before it is MyFundedFutures’ own documentation, linked at the bottom.

Yes, MyFundedFutures (MFFU) allows copy trading across all account types, with Tradesyncer as its preferred copier and the Tradovate group copier as an alternative. Bots are allowed if they are not high-frequency and do not exploit simulated fills. Two limits shape any copy setup: MFFU takes no responsibility and offers no reset when a copier fails, and at live, your Sim Funded accounts are merged into one account.

Does MyFundedFutures allow copy trading?

Yes, and on every account type. MFFU’s copy trading page opens with the sentence most traders are looking for:

In MFFU’s words, that is every account type. In practice, copying ends at live, where your accounts merge into one. It is still the broadest permission in this series: no firm we reviewed states it more simply.

Tradesyncer, the Tradovate copier, or your own tool

MFFU names three routes, and treats all three the same way when something goes wrong.

The same page ends with a section titled Important Policies, and it is the part to read before you connect anything:

How many MyFundedFutures accounts can you copy trade?

The answer depends on account size and plan, and one 100K changes it.

MFFU’s own examples: one 100K and two 50Ks is allowed; one 100K and four 50Ks is not. The plan caps apply even when the general 5-account allowance would permit more. Our guide on how many MyFundedFutures accounts you can have covers every case.

Bots: allowed, if they do not trade the simulator

MFFU allows automated trading under its Fair Play policy, with two conditions. Traders may use automated strategies tailored to their own settings, as long as these tools do not aim to exploit the favorable fills of the simulated environment. And high-frequency trading is not allowed on its plans.

The same policy lists what counts as exploiting the simulator, and several items describe how badly configured bots behave:

• Placing multiple limit orders at the same price to manipulate fills.
• Trading gapped or illiquid markets to profit from isolated fills.
• Using tight brackets to profit from the absence of slippage.
• Trading Tier 1 economic data releases, prohibited on Rapid and Pro Sim Funded accounts.

On live accounts, MFFU adds that automated trading must follow CME guidelines. Its live FAQ also allows microscalping and dollar-cost averaging there. Sanctions under Fair Play include immediate termination, confiscation of profits from prohibited practices, and review of passed evaluations.

Hedging: same underlying, never

MFFU prohibits hedging of any kind, which it defines as entering both buy and sell positions on the same underlying asset at the same time. Its example: the E-mini NQ and the Micro NQ share the same underlying, NQ.

Two details set MFFU apart. Its definition is narrower than Tradeify’s or Lucid’s: hedging through different, unrelated assets is permitted, though MFFU warns that relying heavily on it makes a trader hard to evaluate. And its hedging page does not say “across accounts” in so many words. Our reading: a long on one account and a short on the same underlying on another is still a trader holding both sides, which is the risk of an inverted or lagging follower. Do not test it.

A related rule catches copy setups that mix sizes: MFFU’s cross-instrument policy treats 2 minis plus 20 micros on an account limited to 2 contracts as a deliberate bypass of the scaling plan, which can breach the account even though the orders execute.

Other traders: one person, one device

MFFU’s copy permission covers your own accounts only. Its Fair Play policy states that traders are not permitted to copy trade one another, and that collaborating with others to execute identical or opposite strategies across unconnected accounts is prohibited.

It goes further on devices. Each trader may not use the same device as another trader, and breaking this can lead to permanent restrictions from its services. MFFU’s account-sharing page gives the example: a partner sharing the same PC or phone. A household copy setup run from one computer is exactly what this rule targets.

The merge to live: five accounts become one

This is where a copy grid at MFFU changes shape. MFFU states that your Sim Funded accounts will be merged into one Live Funded Account. On the Rapid plan, it explains how:

• One account, bigger limits: the Max Loss Limit increases with the number of Rapid accounts moved, and the maximum contracts are discussed with the Live team.
• Everything else pauses: on Rapid, all simulated trading accounts and additional purchases are suspended while the Live account runs, and you cannot trade sim and live at the same time.
• How you get there: on Rapid, live is automatic at $10,000 of net profit in a single session, with any profit above $10,000 that day forfeited and up to $5,000 of profits placed in the Reserve Program; the risk team can also offer a transition at any time.
• Builder: one live account maximum, and a live breach triggers a 21-day cooldown with no sim funded trading.

For a copy trader, the consequence is simple: the copier has nothing left to copy to. Five accounts become one, which is a different job from running a grid. Our MyFundedFutures Rapid plan guide covers the transition in detail.

MyFundedFutures vs Phidias on copy trading

MFFU has the broadest copy permission in this series, and a named copier partner. MFFU merges your accounts into one live account, with more only by agreement for traders with a long live track record; Phidias allows one LIVE account per trader. The difference is how you get there.

On account count, we allow more: up to 15 CASH accounts across three families, where 150K Fundamental and Premium accounts count double, against MFFU’s 5 or 3.

On the path to live, the mechanics differ. On Express to Live, you reach the target on the CASH account, click Switch to Live, and the fixed bonus payout converts the account to a LIVE account. That conversion is an Express to Live rule; on our Fundamental and Premium accounts, moving to LIVE is discretionary. If you copy trade on Phidias, our DeepCharts trade copier guide walks through the setup.
