Trade copying is illegal in the United States (no grey area here), with the exception of "you" having multiple accounts "just in your name only " and you apply software to copy the trade from one machine to the other to copy just "your" wholly owned trading accounts, -best, -fg

There is a whole copy-trading industry in the U.S.

Collective2.com, for example, where subscribers pay in order to copy another's trading signals. That is just one company that does it.

Also, IB has:

Friends and Family Advisors
Manage, trade and report on multiple accounts from a single master account or take the first step toward starting or growing an advisor business.

Footnote:
Many states have requirements that advisors register if they have any paying clients. Some allow advisors to have a de minimis number of paying clients. The rules vary from state to state. For example, Nevada has informed us that it requires that Nevada-domiciled persons be licensed as Investment Advisors to engage in this program per NRS 90.330. You must review the rules of your state and those of your clients to determine if you need to register.

Or did I miss something from the discussion?

So if I have several accounts and want to trade in all of them it’s illegal for me to do that with a trade copier?
