Trade Copier Overrides Risk Settings / Includes Practice & Locked Accounts
I ran into what appears to be a serious issue while setting up the Trade Copier for the first time.
I accidentally selected my Practice Account as part of the copier (Master), and it appeared to override the risk rules I had already set on my Trading Combine accounts (Follower). I also noticed trades being placed on accounts that were already locked out.
In my opinion, risk settings should never be overridden by the Trade Copier or by any other platform feature. If an account has reached a hard risk limit or has been locked out, the copier should not be able to place additional trades on that account.
I also do not think Practice Accounts should appear as an option in the Trade Copier at all, since they can easily be selected accidentally alongside live/Combine accounts.
I mentioned this issue on Twitter as well, and Topstep Support reached out to me regarding it.
I would really appreciate it if the team could investigate this, as risk settings should always take priority over copy trading.
