Make your first DaneTrades copy in a few deliberate steps

This is the fastest clean path to a verified first copy with the current product. It uses the DaneTrades cloud flow: web app first, account licences active, accounts added in Trading Accounts, copier created in Copiers, then verification in Logs.

Before you start

You will need:

An active DaneTrades account with account licences.
An active DaneTrades account with at least 2 account licences ($20/month minimum).
One source or master account, plus one receiver account.
Supported platforms on both sides. Check Supported Platforms first if you are unsure.

Step-by-step quickstart

Confirm account licences in Billing. Open Billing and continue to billing for account licences ($10 per connected trading account per month; minimum 2 accounts for $20). Creating a DaneTrades user account is free; there is no free cloud copier trial and no yearly plan.
Add your source account in Trading Accounts. Go to Trading Accounts, click Add Account, choose the source platform, and complete the connection flow. If your source is a signal feed such as Telegram, add that source here first.
Add your receiver account. In the same Trading Accounts area, add the account that should execute the copied trade. For most setups, receivers should be broker or platform execution accounts.
Create the copier connection. Open Copiers, click Create Connection, select the source and receiver, then start with simple sizing such as a 1.0 lot multiplier or another conservative test size.
Save, enable, and test with a tiny trade. Make sure the connection is enabled. Then place a very small demo trade on the source side and immediately open Logs.

What successful verification looks like

Your first test is not complete until you confirm all of the following:

The trade appears in the receiver account with the expected direction and size.
Logs show a successful copied event rather than a rejection or warning.
Symbols match as expected, especially if broker naming differs.
Account licences remain active after the trade, not just during setup.

If your first trade did not copy

The most common causes are usually one of these:

Account licences are missing or billing access has ended.
The source or receiver account is disconnected.
The copier connection was saved but not enabled.
Symbol mapping is missing because the two sides use different symbol names.
The receiver broker rejected the order due to invalid volume, margin, or market state.

Recommended next step: check Copy Health, read Logs, and then move to the first-week safety checklist before increasing size.
