Copy trade on Tradier in 5 steps
- 01
Sign up and connect your Tradier account
Create an account at app.relaytrades.com, then connect your Tradier account through SnapTrade. SnapTrade is a secure brokerage-connection service, so your Tradier login is never shared with RelayTrades. Once connected, RelayTrades automatically detects what your Tradier account is enabled to trade (stocks and ETFs).
- 02
Choose a strategy to follow
Browse the available traders and strategies, review their historical metrics, and subscribe to the one(s) you want to copy. Some strategies are free to follow; others are paid by the trader who runs them.
- 03
Set your sizing and safeguards
Before any trade copies, decide how it maps to your account: a sizing multiplier (or maximum position size) so a larger account's trade scales sensibly to yours, your routing mode (auto-copy or manual approval), and risk controls, maximum exposure, daily-loss caps, and slippage protection. Set up your one-tap kill switch here too. Every rule is enforced server-side before an order is placed.
- 04
Let trades route to your own Tradier account
When the trader places a trade, RelayTrades relays the signal in about a second and places the matching order in your own Tradier account, scaled to your settings. Your funds never leave your Tradier account, RelayTrades only routes the orders you have chosen to follow and never takes custody or discretionary control.
- 05
Monitor and stay in control
Track your positions and profit/loss from the dashboard. You can switch any strategy to manual approval, pause automation, or use the kill switch to halt all activity and flatten open positions on your Tradier account instantly. You can revoke the Tradier connection at any time.
