Which Brokers Work for Copy Trading?

A common first question is simple: which brokers can you actually use for copy trading? With RelayTrades, copying works through brokers that connect via SnapTrade, a secure account aggregator. Your money stays in your own brokerage account the whole time, and the copy-trading experience is essentially the same across supported brokers, so the choice comes down to which one fits you.

How the broker connection works

RelayTrades does not hold your funds or replace your broker. You connect your existing brokerage account through SnapTrade, which links the account securely without sharing your broker login with us. The broker still executes your trades and holds your money; RelayTrades routes the trades you choose to follow into that account, within your limits.

Brokers that work with RelayTrades

• Webull, an app-first broker popular with active, mobile-focused traders. Supports copy trading on stocks, ETFs, and options.
• Charles Schwab, a large, established full-service brokerage with broad products and research. Supports stocks, ETFs, and options.
• Moomoo, an app-first active-trading broker with advanced charting. Supports stocks, ETFs, and options.
• Alpaca, built for automation and programmatic trading, so routed fills surface cleanly in your dashboard. Supports stocks and ETFs.

What an individual account can copy also depends on what that account is enabled for (for example, options trading must be approved on your account). Broker availability and supported assets can change, so check current details with the broker.

What is the same across all of them

• Your funds stay in your own brokerage account, RelayTrades never takes custody.
• You connect securely through SnapTrade, without sharing your broker login.
• You set the sizing, risk limits, and routing mode (auto-copy or manual approval).
• A one-tap kill switch can halt automation and flatten open positions instantly.

How to choose

Because the copying works the same way on each, pick the broker you already use or prefer. If you want to copy options strategies, choose a broker that supports options (Webull, Charles Schwab, or Moomoo). If you are focused on stocks and ETFs, any of them works, and Alpaca’s automation-first design is a clean fit. Compare the brokers’ own fees, apps, and features, which change over time, before deciding.

Any SnapTrade-connected broker keeps your funds in your own account and works the same way for copying, so choose the one you prefer. Want options? Pick a broker that supports them. Verify each broker’s current details before opening an account.
