FAQ zu Preisen & Kosten

Short answer: if you are hunting for a free copy trader for TradingView, the honest answer is that no reputable cloud trade copier is free forever. Tools that advertise a "free trade copier" almost always make the money back somewhere, through ads, a one-account limit, a VPS you have to rent, or a paid tier hidden behind the free tab. What you can get for free is a genuine trial. PickMyTrade gives you a 5-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can connect your broker, paste a TradingView alert, and copy real trades before you spend anything. After the trial, PickMyTrade is $50 per month or $500 per year, on a single subscription with no per-account or per-trade fees. More than 10,000 traders have already placed over 5 million trades through PickMyTrade, so the free trial lets you test a proven tool rather than an experiment. Because no card is needed to start, the trial is genuinely free to test and there is no risk of being charged when it ends.

When a trade copier is marketed as free, the cost usually moves rather than disappears. It is worth knowing the four common trade-offs before you route a live account through one.

• Ads and upsells. Free tools often fund themselves with ads or constant prompts to upgrade, which is a poor fit for something that sits between your strategy and your money.
• Single-account limits. Many free tiers copy to only one account. The moment you add a second account, which is the whole point of a copier, you hit a paywall.
• VPS costs. Older download-and-run copiers are free to download but need a Windows VPS running 24/7 so trades still fire when your computer is off. That VPS is a real monthly bill, often more than a cloud copier's subscription.
• A hidden paid tier. Some "free" copiers only copy manually or on a delay for free, and the features traders actually need, like automation, multiple accounts, or faster order processing, live behind a paid plan.

A cloud copier like PickMyTrade folds all of that into one flat price. There is no VPS to rent, no per-account fee, and no separate charge for automation, so what you see is what you pay.

The free trial is the full product, not a stripped-down demo. During the 5 days you get:

• Full TradingView-to-broker automation. Paste a TradingView webhook alert and PickMyTrade places the order on your connected broker automatically, with no coding.
• Copying across your supported broker accounts. Mirror one signal, or one manual trade, across the accounts you connect, so you can test multi-account copying for real. PickMyTrade supports Tradovate, Rithmic, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, TradeLocker, ProjectX, Match-Trader and Tradier.
• The same order handling you get on a paid plan, including stop-loss and take-profit settings and per-account sizing.
• Cloud execution, so trades fire even when your computer is off, with no VPS to set up.

No credit card is required to start, and because no card is on file you are not charged automatically when the trial ends, so you can try the full workflow with your own alerts and accounts before deciding. PickMyTrade processes your order in under 200ms on our side; total fill time also depends on your broker's execution, network latency, and how quickly TradingView sends the alert.

Here is an honest look at the common ways to copy trades and what each one really costs. Prices for third-party tools change often, so treat the third column as the pattern to check rather than a fixed quote.

The takeaway is simple: "free" almost always means one account, more setup, or a separate VPS bill. A short no-card trial lets you prove the copier works with your own accounts, then a single predictable price covers everything once you go live. See the full multi-account breakdown on the trade copier hub and the TradingView to Tradovate automation guide.

Some traders searching for a free trade copier are really looking for a free trading journal to log and review results. It is worth being clear about what PickMyTrade is: it is an execution and copying tool, not a trading journal. It focuses on getting your TradingView alerts and copied trades onto your broker accounts accurately and quickly. It does keep an alert log and a trade history, so you can confirm what fired and match each copied order back to its source, which is useful for checking execution. But it is not a full journaling or analytics product and does not replace a dedicated journal. If you want detailed performance journaling, pair PickMyTrade for execution with a separate journaling app for review.
