How it works

How Copy Trading Works

TL;DR: You connect the brokerage you already have. You pick traders whose stats come from broker fills, not screenshots. You set a size and 14 risk rules. My P&L shows what you would have held. When that trader’s broker reports a fill, Alertsify sends your version to your broker. Your money never leaves your account.

This page is the path. The definition lives on options copy trading. Robinhood-specific steps live on copy trading on Robinhood.

Copy trading means one account’s fills are reproduced in another account. With options that is four fields, not a ticker: underlying, strike, expiry, and call or put, plus size.

Alertsify does not ask you to retype a Discord alert. It does not hold a wallet. It does not pick the trade.

The lead trader’s broker records a fill. Alertsify’s rules engine applies your caps. Your broker places your order. If a rule fails, or the market has moved past your slippage guard, the copy is skipped. You see the skip.

You surrender trade selection for the traders you chose to follow. You do not surrender custody.

The path, in order

  1. 1.Connect your broker

    You log in at the broker through Alertsify’s OAuth portal. Alertsify never sees that password and never gets withdrawal access. Revoke from either side.

    Ten brokers for execution: Robinhood, Charles Schwab, E*TRADE, Webull US, Webull CA, Alpaca, tastytrade, Wealthsimple, Moomoo, and TD Ameritrade. Check the connect screen for the live list. A longer list is read-only for verified stats, not for placing copies.

  2. 2.Browse traders whose tape you can see

    Every public number on a profile is calculated from that trader’s connected brokerage fills: entries, exits, size, P&L. Losses stay. There is no delete-this-trade button. Alertsify does not recommend anyone. The trust label is how long they have been live and verified, not a star rating.

  3. 3.Set size and rules before the first copy

    Copies are proportional. You set a size. You do not inherit the lead’s contract count. A 40-lot print on the leaderboard is not a 40-lot order in a 1-lot account. You can size bigger than the lead. If a proportional copy would go over your plan cap, Alertsify sizes it down to the cap. It skips only when a single contract itself is over the cap.

    Before the first copy, set:

    • Max position size
    • Max risk per trade
    • Per-trader pause
    • Daily loss limits, liquidity floors, 0DTE rules where you want them
    • Fill protection / slippage guard

    My P&L replays that trader’s real closed fills at your size and your rules. It can come out negative. That is what you would have held, not a promise. Find your fit runs the same replay across the board and ranks traders by what your account would have held.

    Every lead fill is sent. You filter. They do not hide.

    The 14 controls live in one panel: max daily profit and loss, freeze, max risk per trade, max open exposure, custom 0DTE sizing, correlation limit, min OI, min vol, spread width, custom DTE, block 0DTE, auto-cancel unfilled, close-after timer. Per trader you can also disable stocks, calls, or puts.

    Anyone evaluating the tape

    Lite$99/mo

    You trade yourself. Verified stats, leaderboard, monetize later. Following is optional: every alert is approve or deny.

    Most paying users. Solo book first.

    Pro$249/mo or $1,997/yr (~$166/mo)

    Copies can fire when the lead's fill hits. Optional tap-to-confirm per trader.

    People who want hands-free follow

    Most Lite users never follow anyone. They use Alertsify as the book.

    Lite and Pro start with a 7-day trial. STC, cancels, rejects, and expired orders are free on every tier. Broker commissions are still your broker’s.

    Software is one bill. Traders bill separately. Most charge. Some are free. You see that price before you follow.

What happens between their fill and yours

  1. The lead’s broker reports a fill.
  2. Alertsify applies your size and the 14 controls. Duplicate-copy protection stops the same ticket from firing twice.
  3. If a rule fails, or the quote has moved past your slippage guard, the copy is skipped. You see the skip.
  4. If it passes, your broker gets the order.

Platform-side: under 200 milliseconds on the homepage claim, under a second to the broker. Your fill is still your broker’s fill. A wide bid-ask or a slow queue dominates any of those milliseconds.

Do not buy this because a page said “faster.” Buy it because you stopped retyping alerts.

Three ways people use it

Follower

You pick people on the leaderboard. Alerts hit the app. Orders auto-fire or wait for your tap, inside the limits you set.

Solo

You do not follow anyone. You place your own trades and get a tape-verified book: win rate by direction, best hours, average hold, per-ticker edge. Private or public. Monetize later, or don’t.

Lead

You trade at your broker the way you already do. The tape is the sales page. You set the price. Alertsify handles billing. First 10 subscribers free for 90 days.

Most people start as one of these and become another.

What Alertsify does not do

If you only remember one thing

The source of truth is the broker. That is the whole product. If a number cannot be tied to a fill, it does not belong on the profile.

FAQ

Does Alertsify execute in my brokerage account?
Yes. Orders are placed at the broker you connected, including Robinhood. There is no Alertsify wallet.
How long does a copy take?
Sub-second to the broker on the platform side. Actual fill time is your broker plus the option's spread.
Can I approve trades instead of going full auto?
Yes. On Lite, a follow is always approve or deny. On Pro, you can auto-execute or require a tap per trader.
What if I only want to follow one person, or pause one person?
Per-trader limits and per-trader pause. Stopping one book does not stop the others.
Is this the same as a Discord alert room?
No. A Discord room sends text. You are the execution layer, and the track record is whatever they posted. Alertsify sends an order to your broker from a fill that already happened in another connected account. The public stats come from that tape.
Who holds the regulated account?
Your broker. Alertsify is software. It is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or fiduciary.
