Why we built AlphaRelay

Prop traders rarely run one account. They run a stack — multiple firms, multiple evaluations, multiple funded accounts, each with its own drawdown math and its own rules.

The problem with running them the same way

Mirror a trade across ten accounts and you've also mirrored the risk. The account closest to its drawdown limit doesn't care that the other nine are healthy. One bad sequence, copied faithfully, can breach several accounts at once.

Most copy tools treat every account as identical. That's fine until it isn't — and when it isn't, it's expensive.

What we wanted instead

A system where you set the rules per account, and the engine enforces them in real time: size each account against its own cushion, lock out accounts that hit their limits, and — on higher tiers — understand exposure across the whole portfolio so correlated accounts can lock together.

You place the trades. We replicate them within the rules you defined. That's the whole idea.
