Master Trader guide
Master Traders (Pilots) trade as usual in their own broker. TradePilot copies every trade to their followers, sized for each follower's account.
Become a Master Trader
Anyone can apply. Your application, PnL proof and contact details go to the TradePilot team, who review your track record and contact you. If you're accepted, the team upgrades your existing account to Master and sets your trading style (Swing or Day). The next time you open TradePilot you'll see the master menu and must accept the Pilot Agreement before continuing.
Approval is manual. Submitting the form doesn't change your account on its own.
Click Become Master on your Overview, or open /become-master-trader. You don't need to be logged in.

The TradePilot AI, Inc. Pilot (Master Trader) Agreement appears the first time you log in as a master and blocks the app until you accept it. It covers your role and responsibilities, confidentiality, prohibited conduct, risk disclosures and termination. Your payment terms are agreed individually with the TradePilot team.
Some older accounts that registered directly as masters see Account Pending Approval when they log in. It means the TradePilot team hasn't approved the account yet. You'll be emailed once you're approved; until then the dashboard can't be opened.
How your trades are copied
Once your broker is connected, TradePilot watches your account continuously. When it sees a new fill, it creates a copy for every follower whose copy is Active. Each copy is sized from that follower's own balance and allocation, so followers with different account sizes get different quantities. See how sizing works.
Closing is mirrored too: if you sell half a position, each follower sells half of what they were given; if you close fully, they close fully.

- Sizes per follower
- Mirrors closes
| Your broker | How trades are detected |
|---|---|
| GenesisFX | Your open positions are checked about every second. New, changed and closed positions are copied. |
| Webull | Your order history is checked every couple of seconds using the API credentials from your application, set up by the TradePilot team. |
| OANDA (legacy) | A live transaction stream from your account. |
Late trades aren't copied. If a Webull fill reaches TradePilot more than 60 seconds after it executed, it isn't sent to followers, because their price would be too far from yours. You'll get a Trade Not Copied notification.
Your tools
Your Overview shows your account balance, total P&L, number of followers and total trades, plus Master Trader Performance (active followers, successful trades, win rate), your Trade History and a daily P&L calendar. Followers see the same calendar on your profile and on the leaderboard.
Lists everyone copying you, as cards. Each card shows the follower's status (Active, Paused or Pending), the allocation they gave you, their balance and when they started. Emails are hidden for privacy. Click View Statistics for their full stats.
For one follower: today / weekly / monthly / total P&L, win rate, profitable vs losing trades, their connected accounts and their trades. You can only open statistics for people who follow (or followed) you.
Live open positions of all your followers, fetched straight from their brokers (Webull, GenesisFX, OANDA). Search by follower, symbol or broker. This view is read-only: followers' positions close automatically when you close yours, or when they stop copying.
Share trade ideas and updates with your followers. When you post, every active follower gets a notification (for example “New BUY Signal: AAPL @ $185.5”), and they can like and comment.
