Understand Copy Trading
What Is Copy Trading?
Copy trading is a way to replicate an order from one master trading account across multiple connected child accounts. Instead of placing the same order separately in every account, you place it once and the configured child accounts can receive the order automatically.
Control your copy trading setup account by account. Turn copying on or off when needed, customize quantities for individual child accounts, and manage how master orders are replicated across your connected trading accounts.

How To Start Copy Trading
How To Copy Trades To Multiple Accounts
Connect your accounts, create a group and choose your master. Four steps and your orders start replicating across connected accounts.
Connect your demat accounts
Link your supported broker accounts so AlgoDelta can place orders on your behalf.
Create a group
Bundle your accounts into one group so they can be managed and traded together.
Set master and child accounts
Pick the master account, add the children that follow it, then turn copying on.
Master To Child Accounts
From Master Order To Child Orders
You place the order once in your master account, and AlgoDelta sends the configured orders to your connected child accounts.
-
Place the master order
Place the order from your broker's website, mobile app or supported algo software.
-
AlgoDelta picks up the order
AlgoDelta detects the master order in the group you have configured.
-
Quantity rules are applied
Each child account uses its own multiplier or fixed-lot setting.
-
Child orders are sent
The configured orders are sent to your connected child accounts for execution.
Choose Your Copy Quantity
Control How Much Each Account Receives
Copy the master order quantity using a multiplier or assign a fixed lot size to a child account. This gives you greater control over how orders are sized across your connected trading accounts.
Multiplier mode
Scales the master quantity for a child account, for example 2x or 0.5x. A bigger account can trade bigger, a smaller one smaller.
Master10 lots
Child 12× multiplier
20 lots
Child 20.5× multiplier
5 lots
Fixed-lot mode
Uses a predefined quantity for the child account, whatever the master order quantity is.
MasterAny quantity
Child 1Fixed lot
8 lots
Child 2Fixed lot

Sizing Example
A ₹5 Lakh And A ₹50 Lakh Account Following One Master
Each child gets its own size rule, so accounts of different capital can follow the same master safely.
| Child account | Rule | Master buys 2 lots | Master buys 4 lots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zerodha – self | Multiplier 1× | 2 lots | 4 lots |
| Angel One – family | Multiplier 2× | 4 lots | 8 lots |
| Dhan – small account | Multiplier 0.5× | 1 lot | 2 lots |
| Upstox – fixed | Fixed 1 lot | 1 lot | 1 lot |
Illustrative example. Fill prices can differ slightly between brokers.

Speed
Why AlgoDelta Copy Trading Is Fast
Delay in copy trading usually comes from three places: noticing the master order late, sending child orders one by one, and squeezing every account through one connection. AlgoDelta removes all three.
- Early detection of master orders wherever you place them
- Parallel dispatch – every child order leaves together
- Distributed execution – each child account on its own IP route
- Cloud execution – nothing runs on your laptop
“I trade from mobile in Kotak Neo, all trades are copied to other brokers like Zerodha in less than a second.”
— Puneet Arora, AlgoDelta customer
Final fill time still depends on each broker’s API response, the exchange and the margin in each account.

Frequently Asked Questions About Copy Trading
Find answers to common questions about copying trades to multiple accounts, master and child accounts, quantity modes, supported brokers, pricing and how AlgoDelta copy trading works.
Copy trading allows an order placed in one master account to be replicated across selected connected child accounts. With AlgoDelta, you can configure groups containing a master account and one or more child accounts, then manage the resulting orders across supported brokers.
You can place the master order through the broker website, broker mobile application or supported trading software. AlgoDelta can then replicate the configured order to the selected child accounts.
The execution price is not guaranteed to be identical. Orders are sent to the connected brokers around the same time, but fills can differ because of broker response time, exchange conditions, liquidity, available margin and slippage.
Multiplier mode calculates a child account quantity from the master order quantity using the multiplier you configure. Fixed-lot mode uses a predefined quantity for the child account regardless of the master order quantity.
Child orders are sent to all brokers in parallel, at almost the same moment the master order is detected. AlgoDelta uses a distributed execution setup where each child account runs on its own IP route, so one account never waits for another. Final fill time still depends on each broker’s API response, the exchange and your margin, so identical execution timing is not guaranteed.
AlgoDelta supports trading workflows across supported NSE, BSE and MCX instruments. The exact products, order types and segments available depend on the broker API and permissions configured for each account.
Yes, supported order-management workflows allow you to manage orders and positions across connected accounts. The exact actions available depend on the broker API and the order type.
Yes. Supported broker accounts can be connected within AlgoDelta, allowing a master account and child accounts to use different supported brokers. Broker-specific API capabilities still apply.
Yes. Zerodha can be the master or a child account. Zerodha without API is usually used for child accounts and needs no static IP or daily login. Zerodha with a Kite Connect API key is usually used for the master and needs a whitelisted static IP. Zerodha accounts can be mixed with Angel One, Dhan, Upstox, Kotak and other brokers in one group.
Yes. From one dashboard you can square off all open positions, cancel open pending orders, and see live positions and holdings for every connected account, a group or only selected accounts. You can also switch trading on or off per account without deleting its setup.
