Now in beta with our Trade Copier subscribers. Public launch soon.
SCS Copier Manager
Provision and supervise, from one Windows app, the Sierra Chart instances that copy the trades of your Source account (the leader) to your Follower accounts.
$15.99/mo billed yearly, or $19.99/mo monthly
What the Copier Manager does
Instances set up for you
For each broker connection, the app clones your Sierra Chart, drops the follower study and a template chartbook into it, and starts it hidden. You never open a chartbook, type a path or pick an account inside Sierra Chart. More accounts on the same connection are added without a new clone, a new login or a restart.
One dashboard for the fleet
Source health and position, then for each account its position, day and open P&L, the distance to its trailing cut, the last sign of life of the source and how long its last copy took. Accounts that need you come first. Activity keeps every event, with a CSV export, and alerts go out by Windows notification, webhook or Telegram.
KILL ALL, kill and pause
Hold KILL ALL for one second to flatten and block every account on every connection; Kill connection and the Kill of an account row take the same hold. Each kill is confirmed account by account, with an alert when one is not reported flat after 15 seconds. Pause copying stops new entries and leaves the open position with its stop and target. The dashboard and the kill switch stay available whatever the license state.
Prop firm style guards, per account
Daily loss limit, intraday drawdown, trailing drawdown (end of day or intraday) and profit target, each with its own action: flatten and lock until the next session, or stop new entries and keep the position. The trailing threshold can stop rising where your firm freezes it, a warning then a pause can come before the guard acts, and a scheduled flatten time runs in your time zone. Verified on Interactive Brokers and simulated accounts only.
Built not to make things worse
A copied exit never opens a position: an account only exits what it still holds on the source’s side. With Require server-side stop, on by default, an account copies no entry whose source order has no stop, and flattens a position whose stop is not working shortly after the fill. The app warns you when two accounts sit on opposite sides. The copy engine stays 100% ACSIL: the app is never in the order path.
Updates that wait for you
The app checks for a new version on its own and installs it only when you choose to, never while an account holds a position, and only if SCStudies signed it. At startup it brings the copier study of each connection up to date, once that connection is flat with no working order.
How it works
- 1
Install and activate
Run the signed Windows installer and activate your license key. In the Sierra Chart you trade on, add the SCS Copier Source study to the chart you trade.
- 2
Add your accounts
Pick a broker connection, the account to copy to and its sizing. For a new connection the app clones your Sierra Chart and starts it hidden; sign in if Sierra Chart asks.
- 3
Test, then supervise
Test each account on a simulated account and mark it with Validate on Sim. The Before trading live checklist keeps the server-side stop and your firm’s written approval in view; then the dashboard watches the fleet for you.

Already a Trade Copier subscriber?
The Copier Manager is a separate product that will later replace the Trade Copier. During the beta, your subscription unlocks it: the installer and your license key are on your dashboard, under that subscription.
Requirements and limits, before you choose it
- Windows x64 only, on the PC that runs your Sierra Chart. Everything stays local: no cloud, no shared IP, and the PC stays on while you copy.
- The SCS Copier Source study runs on the chart you trade, in your own Sierra Chart: it publishes the position your Followers copy.
- Accounts Sierra Chart can route: Teton (CQG), Rithmic, Interactive Brokers, LMAX and the simulator. Tradovate, TopstepX and NinjaTrader accounts are not supported and will not be.
- Sierra Chart’s data feed accepts 3 connections per PC and your trading instance is one of them: on that feed, up to 2 Follower instances run alongside it. Up to 10 Follower accounts per license, the current limit of the app; several accounts of the same broker connection share one instance.
- One instrument per account: each account copies the instrument of its own Follower. If your Source trades several instruments (ES and NQ, say), an account set up for ES does not receive the NQ trades; while the Source holds NQ, that account shows NQ NOT COPIED.
- The loss guard is verified on Interactive Brokers and simulated accounts only. On Rithmic, CQG and Teton the app shows whether it can read your P&L, and says so when it cannot.
- If your access ends while a position is open, new entries are refused after a 5-minute grace; exits, stops and flatten keep working.
- Your prop firm’s rules apply to you. Get your firm’s approval in writing before copying into a funded account: the software adds no random delay and hides nothing.
Questions
How is it different from the Trade Copier?
The copy itself is done by Sierra Chart studies: the SCS Copier Source study on the chart you trade, and a follower study in each Follower instance. Without the app you set up one Sierra Chart per account by hand. The Copier Manager creates those instances, keeps their study up to date and supervises them, without ever sending an order itself.
Does it work with Tradovate, TopstepX or NinjaTrader?
No, and it will not: Sierra Chart does not route orders to them. Accounts Sierra Chart can route: Teton (CQG), Rithmic, Interactive Brokers, LMAX and the simulator.
Does it run in the cloud?
No. The app and its Sierra Chart instances are local, on your Windows x64 PC: nothing goes through a cloud, there is no shared IP, and the PC must stay on while you copy.
How many accounts can I copy to?
Up to 10 Follower accounts per license, the current limit of the app. Sierra Chart’s data feed accepts 3 connections per PC, your trading instance included, so up to 2 Follower instances run on that feed; several accounts of the same broker connection share one instance.
Does my prop firm allow it?
Your firm’s rules apply to you, not to the software. Several firms restrict or forbid copiers, group trading or opposite positions across accounts. Get your firm’s approval in writing before copying into a funded account: the Copier Manager adds no random delay and hides nothing from your broker or your firm.
Is the loss guard verified on my broker?
It is verified on Interactive Brokers and simulated accounts only. On Rithmic, CQG and Teton the app shows whether it can read your P&L; when it cannot, the guard says so on the account instead of pretending to protect you.
What happens if my access ends while I hold a position?
After a 5-minute grace the follower refuses new entries. Exits, stops, targets and flatten keep working, and so does the kill switch of the app: a billing event never orphans a position.
How do I get it during the beta?
The Copier Manager is a separate product that will later replace the Trade Copier. During the beta, a Trade Copier subscription unlocks it: the installer and your license key are on your dashboard, under that subscription. The 7-day free trial of the Trade Copier opens it too.
Your Followers, provisioned and supervised for you
The Copier Manager opens to the public soon. Trade Copier subscribers already have it in their subscription during the beta.
