# Leader & Follower Accounts

> Understanding the leader-follower relationship

## Leader Accounts

The leader account is where you actively place trades. All orders on this account are detected and copied to followers.

### Selecting a Leader

* Choose an account you're comfortable trading on
* Ensure it has a stable connection
* The leader can be any platform (Rithmic, Tradovate, ProjectX)

### What Gets Copied

| Order Type     | Copied |
| -------------- | ------ |
| Market Orders  | Yes    |
| Limit Orders   | Yes    |
| Stop Orders    | Yes    |
| OCO Orders     | Yes    |
| Position Close | Yes    |

## Follower Accounts

Followers automatically mirror the leader's trades.

### Per-Follower Settings

Each follower can have individual settings:

* **Copy Ratio**: Multiply or reduce position size
* **Contract Mapping**: Trade different contracts (ES → MES)
* **Active Status**: Enable/disable without removing

### Follower Constraints

<Warning>
  Each account can only be a follower in ONE group. This prevents order conflicts.
</Warning>
