Questrade is a good fit for copy trading with RelayTrades.

Questrade is a well-established Canadian brokerage, so availability and rules can differ by region.

Questrade is a well-established, low-cost Canadian brokerage, and it works for copy trading. With RelayTrades you connect your existing Questrade account and copy strategies into it without handing over your login or custody. Here is what makes it a fit and what to keep in mind.

How Questrade copy trading works

You link your Questrade brokerage account to RelayTrades through SnapTrade, a secure connection layer, so your Questrade credentials are never shared with RelayTrades. The strategies you choose to follow generate signals, and matching orders for stocks, ETFs, and options route into your own Questrade account, scaled to your settings. Your funds never leave your account, and there is no pooled or managed money involved.

Why Questrade is a strong fit

  • Broad asset support: copy stocks, ETFs, and options into your own Questrade account.
  • You keep custody: orders route to your own account and you can revoke the connection at any time.
  • Risk controls you set: a sizing multiplier, a maximum dollar per trade, exposure and daily-loss limits, slippage protection, and a one-tap kill switch.
  • Auto or manual: let copies route automatically within your limits, or approve each one within a short window.

Your Questrade account stays yours. RelayTrades never holds your funds or takes discretionary control; it routes the trades you choose into your own account within the limits you set.

What to keep in mind

Questrade is a Canadian brokerage, so availability, eligible products, and how copy-trading and automation rules apply can differ by region; check what applies to your account. Copy trading does not change the nature of trading risk: the trader you copy can lose money, and so can you. Options in particular can move quickly and carry added risk. RelayTrades is automation software and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Questrade. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
