Does Edward Jones allow copy trading?

Not automatically through TrueFills today. Edward Jones supports a read-only connection, which means a record held at Edward Jones can be read and verified, but no order can be placed in the account. You can still follow a strategy and place its trades yourself, and you can publish a verified record of your own Edward Jones trading.

Does TrueFills see my Edward Jones password?

No. The sign-in happens on Edward Jones’ own page, and TrueFills receives a connection rather than your credentials. You can revoke it at Edward Jones or here, independently.

Where does my money sit?

In your own Edward Jones account, throughout. TrueFills never takes custody of funds and cannot move money out of a brokerage account. A trading connection can place orders; it cannot withdraw.

Following a strategy is free during beta once a brokerage account is connected, or $29 a month without one. Listing a strategy and keeping its record is free.

Copy trading on Edward Jones

With your Edward Jones account, TrueFills can

Verify your record.

Trades are read from the Edward Jones account itself and sealed daily into a public chain, so your Edward Jones trading becomes a track record anyone can check rather than a screenshot anyone can make. It is free, it is what a prop firm asks for, and your money never moves: the connection reads the account and nothing else.

A strategy cannot place orders in your Edward Jones account yet. Edward Jones supports a read-only connection, which is the brokerage's side of the integration rather than a setting here.

What the connection can do

reported by Edward Jones, not by us

Verify a record held hereYes

Trades are read from the Edward Jones account itself and sealed daily into a public chain, so a track record built there is checkable by anyone rather than taken on your word.

Fractional sharesYes

An order can carry the strategy's exact weight, so a small allocation tracks it closely.

How current the record isLive

The connection reports the account as it changes, so a day's trades are sealed the day they happen.

What it holdsStocks and ETFs

Equities and funds, which is what the strategies here trade.

Place a strategy's tradesNot yet

Connection statusIn development

Being built. It can be connected, and it may be interrupted while the integration is finished.

What you can do today

A read-only connection is worth having on its own, and it is the whole of what Edward Jones allows today.

Publish a verified record

Connect Edward Jones read-only and your own trading becomes a broker-sourced record, sealed daily. Free, and it is what a prop firm asks for.

Follow and place by hand

Subscribe to a strategy and take its trades yourself. The record stays checkable either way.

Automate somewhere else

If you want a strategy to trade for you, it has to be an account at a brokerage that supports a trading connection.

Whichever you do, the record behind it is read from the brokerage account that placed the trades, sealed daily into a hash chain published in full, and recomputable in your own browser. Recompute a chain or read how a record is verified.
