Prop Firms Blocking API Access

API (Application Programming Interface) is a channel that allows the copier to communicate with the trading platform. Heron Copier (and most other copier apps) use the API to copy trades. When the API is blocked, the copier (and all other copier apps) will not be able to connect to the trading platform. Here is a list of prop firms that are known to block API access:

Prop Firm	Platform Limitations
FTMO	Only blocks DXtrade accounts
MFFX	DXtrade and MatchTrader aren’t working
Maven	All platforms blocked
Alpha Capital Group	MT5 requires autotrading permission, all other platforms blocked
FundingPips	All platforms except TradeLocker and MT5
Top One Trader	All platforms blocked
The Funded Trader	MatchTrader blocked
FundedNext	MatchTrader blocked
FXIFY	DXtrade blocked
T3X Funding	All platforms blocked
Funding Your Traders	All platforms blocked

The list may not be exhaustive and there are probably more prop firms that block API access. If your prop firm blocks API access on a platform, Heron Copier can’t copy trades to or from your accounts on that platform. Check your prop firm’s rules before you add an account.
