# Order settings

> Copy stop losses and take profits, skip trades without them, reverse trades, re-align positions after a restart and add a random delay.

The **Orders** section of a follower's copy settings controls what gets copied with each trade.

## Copy take profit and stop loss

| Setting | What it does | Default |
| - | - | - |
| **Copy take profit** | Places the lead's take profit on this follower. | On |
| **Copy stop loss** | Places the lead's stop loss on this follower. | On |

When these are on, followers are protected the same way the lead is. When you move the stop or target on the lead, the follower's copy moves too.

<Tip>
  Keep **Copy stop loss** on for prop firm accounts, so every follower always carries a stop.
</Tip>

## Skip trades without a stop loss or take profit

| Setting | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Skip trades without a take profit** | Only copies trades that have a take profit. |
| **Skip trades without a stop loss** | Only copies trades that have a stop loss. |

These are useful if you sometimes forget to add a bracket on the lead. They're also a good match for the [fixed risk sizing methods](/settings/position-size#fixed-risk-methods), which need a stop loss to work out the size.

## Reverse trades

**Reverse trades** makes the follower take the opposite side: it buys when the lead sells and sells when the lead buys. The stop loss and take profit are swapped to match.

<Warning>
  Many prop firms don't allow opposite positions across your accounts. Leave this off for prop firm accounts unless you're sure it's allowed. See [Prop firm rules](/guides/prop-firm-rules).
</Warning>

## Position resync

A follower can briefly miss the lead's trades while it restarts, for example after you change its settings or click **Restart**, or while its connection drops. If the lead closes a position during that time, the follower's copy could be left open.

With **Position resync** on, the follower checks against the lead when it starts and after a lost connection. It closes any copied position that the lead has already closed. With it off, those positions stay open until you close them.

Position resync doesn't open new positions. A lead trade placed while the follower was offline isn't copied late.

### If you step in on a follower by hand

If you close a follower's position by hand, it stays closed. The follower joins in again with the lead's next trade. To flatten a follower completely, use [Close all positions](/dashboard/managing-accounts#close-all-positions).

## Random delay

**Random delay (max)** makes the follower wait a random time, up to the number of milliseconds you set, before each copy. For example, 2000 waits up to 2 seconds. 0 means no delay. The maximum is 60,000 (one minute).

A delay means the follower's fill price can be further from the lead's.
