There are two different questions here and almost nobody separates them. First: can I copy the same trade across several of my own accounts inside one firm? Second: can I copy it across different firms at the same time?
The first is almost always answered on the firm's site, usually with a cap on account count. The second is where the problem lives: most firms say nothing at all. Not yes, not no.
Silence is not permission. If a firm doesn't prohibit it in writing but doesn't authorize it either, you're trading under a rule that can be interpreted against you precisely when you request a payout. That's why we count "not stated" as its own category instead of folding it into "allowed".
This is the uncomfortable finding: the biggest category is neither "allowed" nor "prohibited" — it's silence. If you plan to copy across firms, ask support in writing and keep the answer before you trade, not after.
Here firms do commit to an answer, but "with limits" usually means a cap on copied accounts or a requirement that the master account be your own. The exact limit is in each firm's row.

The tool is almost never the problem: what's regulated is who you copy and across how many accounts. The copier checker crosses the firms you trade with your tool and tells you which one blocks the combination.
At several firms, yes — and it's exactly the case that tends to get reviewed when you request a large payout. Even if you execute manually, identical trades at the same instant leave an obvious pattern. If a firm doesn't allow it in writing, treat it as a real risk to the payout.
