Does Trade Dispensary work with prop firms like TopstepX and TradersLaunch?
Yes. Trade Dispensary connects to TopstepX two ways: through the ProjectX API, or through a private local browser session using your normal TopstepX web login, so an API subscription is not required. Deepcharts-based prop firms, including TradersLaunch, connect through the same local browser session. Because it runs locally on your machine, there are no third-party cloud services involved, which helps protect your prop firm payout eligibility.
Why is a self-hosted trade copier better than cloud-based alternatives?
Cloud-based trade copiers route your orders through third-party servers, which many prop firms consider a violation of their terms of service. This can lead to payout denials and account termination. Trade Dispensary runs entirely on your local machine or VPS, so your trades execute directly through your own platform, keeping you compliant and protecting your earnings.
What platforms can I copy trades between?
Trade Dispensary supports Telegram signal channels, MetaTrader 5, TradingView (webhooks), NinjaTrader 8, cTrader, and TopstepX account monitoring as sources. Destination platforms include TradeLocker, TopstepX, Deepcharts prop firms (TradersLaunch), the crypto prop firms Propr, Breakout and MyFundedPerps, NinjaTrader 8, cTrader, MetaTrader 5, Bybit cryptocurrency exchange, and Vest and Vest Capital perpetual futures. You can mix and match. For example, trading XAUUSD on MT5 and copying to NinjaTrader Micro Gold futures.
Does Trade Dispensary work with TradeLocker prop firms like FunderPro, Blue Guardian and E8?
Yes. TradeLocker is a trading platform rather than a broker, and more than forty prop firms run their own instance of it, including FunderPro, Blue Guardian, E8 Markets, GOAT Funded Trader, Atlas Funded, FTUK, Aqua Funded, Funding Traders and OFP Funding. Trade Dispensary connects to any of them with your TradeLocker email, password and the server name shown on your firm's login screen, on demo or live. It supports market and pending orders, stop loss and take profit brackets, trailing stops, partial closes, live balances and panic close.
The server name is the part most people get wrong. It identifies which firm's instance you are logging into, it is not your firm's website address, and a wrong server reports back as a credentials error rather than a server error. Check your firm's rules on copy trading before you turn it on, because some firms restrict or forbid it.
Can I copy trades to a Propr account?
Yes. Propr (propr.xyz) connects as a destination using a Propr API key, with no browser session and no wallet signing. Trade Dispensary executes on Propr's Hyperliquid-backed accounts and supports market entries, stop loss and take profit brackets, partial closes, margin mode and leverage, live balances and panic close.
One limit is worth knowing before you set it up. Propr's Terms of Service list mirror trading across multiple Propr accounts you control under prohibited account farming, so Trade Dispensary copies a source into one Propr account and blocks a second rather than letting you breach it by accident. Copying an outside source into a single Propr account is what the terms permit. Read Propr's current terms yourself before you rely on this, since prop firm rules change.
Which crypto prop firms does Trade Dispensary support?
Propr and MyFundedPerps connect through their APIs, Breakout connects through a local browser session, and Bybit connects directly as a live exchange account. The difference matters in practice: because Propr and MyFundedPerps are API-driven they support partial closes and server-side bracket orders, and MyFundedPerps attaches the stop and target to the entry order so the position is never open unprotected, while Breakout is browser-driven and exits positions in full. Vest and Vest Capital connect over their own APIs and trade perpetual futures on indices, crypto, FX and commodities.
Can I copy gold (XAUUSD) trades from MT5 to NinjaTrader futures?
Yes. The Price Translate feature queries real-time futures prices and automatically rebases your stop loss and take profit levels. This makes it possible to trade XAUUSD on MT5 and copy to Micro Gold (MGC) futures on NinjaTrader with accurately calculated bracket orders.
How fast is the trade execution?
Trade Dispensary was rebuilt from the ground up for speed. With Speed Mode enabled, intelligent contract caching eliminates redundant API lookups, delivering dramatically faster execution than cloud-based alternatives. All processing happens locally, with no network round-trips to external servers.
Can I copy trades from Telegram signal channels?
Yes. Trade Dispensary connects directly to any Telegram signal channel, parses entries, stops, and targets automatically, and executes them on MT5, NinjaTrader, TopstepX, cTrader, Deepcharts platforms, Bybit, Vest or Propr, with no manual entry and no cloud relay.
Is there a monthly subscription fee?
No. Trade Dispensary is a one-time purchase with a lifetime license. There are no monthly fees, no profit sharing, and no recurring charges. You own the software permanently and receive free updates.
Does it work with automated trading bots and strategies?
Absolutely. Connect any automated trading strategy, whether it runs on MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors, TradingView Pine Script alerts, NinjaTrader strategies, or cTrader cBots, and automatically copy those trades to any supported destination, including prop firm accounts and crypto exchanges.
Can I use Trade Dispensary for forex trading on cTrader?
Yes. Trade Dispensary supports cTrader as both a source and destination platform with full OAuth authentication and WebSocket connectivity. It works with all major cTrader brokers including IC Markets, Pepperstone, FxPro, and more, covering forex pairs, indices, and CFDs.
