Scaling Prop-Firm Accounts on TradeLocker with Telegram Copiers

Prop-firm challenges such as FTMO, MyForexFunds, and E8 Funding increasingly support TradeLocker for their evaluation and funded phases. By combining a reliable Telegram signal copier with TradeLocker, traders can automate performance, avoid rule violations, and focus on strategic oversight.

Understanding Prop-Firm Rules

  • Daily drawdown: typically 5 – 10 %
  • Max overall loss: 10 – 12 %
  • Minimum trading days: 5 – 10
  • Max lot size: broker-specific

A copier must respect these limits automatically.

3 Pillars of Copier-Based Risk Management

1. Lot-Size Engine

  • Fixed – best for static risk setups.
  • Risk-Percent – perfect for dynamic scaling as equity grows.
  • Pip-Value – set a dollar risk per pip for consistent exposure across pairs.

2. Drawdown Guard

The AI Telegram Copier tracks both realized and unrealized PnL. Configure global stop-outs (e.g. pause copying if equity < −4 %).

3. Symbol Filters

Many prop-firms restrict exotic pairs or crypto. Use the Allowed Symbols filter to block unsupported assets.

Workflow Example

  1. Set Risk-Percent to 0.5 % per trade.
  2. Enable Daily DD Guard at −4 %.
  3. Subscribe to a high-win-rate EURUSD scalper.
  4. Let the copier run for 10 minimum trading days.

Advanced Tips to Pass Challenges Faster

  • Partial Close Automation – lock in profits and reduce risk during news.
  • Timezone Filters – trade only the London & NY overlap for tighter spreads.
  • Equity-Protection Weekends – disable copying 1 hour before market close to avoid gaps.

Case Study: 100 k FTMO Challenge

  • Days to target: 24 (manual) vs 8 (Telegram copier)
  • Max drawdown: 8.2 % (manual) vs 3.5 % (Telegram copier)
  • Pass rate: 32 % (manual) vs 71 % (Telegram copier)

Results based on 50 back-tested scenarios. Your mileage may vary.

Final Thoughts

When configured correctly, a Telegram copier is a prop-firm cheat code – but only if partnered with strict risk rules. Combine TradeLocker's lightning execution with the AI Telegram Copier's safeguards to tilt the odds dramatically in your favor.
