Quick answer

Tradier is a good fit for copy trading with RelayTrades. You connect your existing Tradier account through SnapTrade, and copied stock and ETF trades route into your own Tradier account, never a pooled or managed one. You keep custody and control, set your own sizing and risk limits, and can revoke access or hit a kill switch at any time. Tradier is a brokerage known for its API and active-trader focus, which pairs naturally with automated copying.

Tradier is a brokerage known for its API and active-trader focus, and it works for copy trading. With RelayTrades you connect your existing Tradier 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 Tradier copy trading works

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

Why Tradier is a strong fit

  • Copy stocks and ETFs into your own Tradier 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 Tradier 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

Copy trading on Tradier covers stocks and ETFs. It does not change the nature of trading risk: the trader you copy can lose money, and so can you, even with risk limits in place. RelayTrades is automation software and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tradier; Tradier is simply one of the brokerages you can connect. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
