Hey everyone, Eduard here, co-founder of Tradesyncer. If you've been part of our journey on X or Discord, you know we're all about keeping it real. No hype, just straight talk from a team that's passionate about fixing the pain points in futures trading. Today, I want to give you an update on our beta: where we've come from, the gritty challenges we're tackling, the wins we're celebrating, and why Tradesyncer is becoming the go-to for seamless trade copying. Let's dive in.
Tradesyncer didn't start in a boardroom—it came from the trading desk. My co-founder Ivan (our COO) was deep in the game, juggling accounts across platforms like TradingView, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and Rithmic. He was constantly battling laggy copiers, unreliable syncs, and software that just couldn't handle the chaos of live markets. The rest of us—Rodin (CPO), Rachmat (CTO), and I—saw the same issues plaguing traders everywhere. So, we bootstrapped this thing with zero marketing spend, building a cloud-based solution that syncs trades in milliseconds, supports unlimited accounts, and skips the VPS hassle. We launched our open beta, and thanks to word-of-mouth, we've grown to over 10,000 community members who've copied more than 60 million trades. It's all about empowering you to scale without the tech drama.
Let's be honest—building a top-tier copy trader is tough, and we've hit our share of roadblocks. One review called it "just a simple Python script"—funny, but wildly off-base. The reality? Every platform and exchange is a unique puzzle: Tradovate's API rate limits can slow things down in high-volume sessions, while others have quirky ways of handling partial fills, order queuing, or data formats. Edge cases pop up constantly—subtle timing differences during volatility, connectivity glitches that cause sync delays, or mismatched behaviors across brokers.
We've had wobbly periods in beta where these issues led to frustrations, like imperfect syncs or overloads that disrupted trades. Even now, with Project X integration, we've noticed fills aren't always spot-on, making copying less than ideal in some scenarios. But we're owning it: Your feedback on Discord and X has been invaluable, helping us iterate fast. We've boosted infrastructure for 99.99% uptime, added auto-reconnects, and tested relentlessly to handle those wild variations. It's not perfect yet, but it's getting stronger every day because we're committed to transparency and real-world reliability.
Our beta is now in a solid, advanced phase—stable enough for thousands of daily users, yet evolving with your input. Here's what's making waves:
Built-in Journaling: Recently launched and already a hit. Ditch extra tools like Tradezella—get it included on every plan. Tag strategies, analyze PnL breakdowns, import broker data, and uncover actionable insights, all in one place.
Project X Integration: Rolled out initially for Flex users to test and refine. Early feedback is strong, and the best part? It's expanding to Pro and Basic plans soon—no upgrades needed. This opens up even more platforms for precise futures copying.
Cloud-Based Reliability: No more VPS headaches. Our infrastructure handles the heavy lifting while you focus on trading. Auto-reconnects, failover systems, and 24/7 monitoring keep your copies running smoothly.
Real-Time Performance: Sub-100ms execution times mean your trades copy almost instantly. We've optimized every millisecond to give you the edge you need in fast-moving markets.
We're not slowing down. Here's what's coming that'll make your trading life even better:
Advanced Risk Management: Granular position sizing, stop-loss automation, and risk limits that adapt to your account size and strategy. No more manual calculations or sleepless nights.
Mobile App: Monitor your trades, adjust settings, and get real-time notifications on the go. iOS and Android versions are in development.
Enhanced Analytics: Deeper insights into your copying performance, strategy analysis, and profit optimization tools that help you make smarter decisions.
More Platform Integrations: We're constantly adding new brokers and platforms based on your requests. The goal is to support every major trading platform out there.
If you're serious about copy trading and want to be part of something that's genuinely changing the game, now is the perfect time to get started. You'll get:
We're not just building software—we're building the future of copy trading with real traders for real traders.
