Cross-platform futures trade copying

Supported

• Any leader, any followers. Mix Tradovate, Rithmic and TopstepX accounts in one copy group, with any number of followers.
• Fill-driven copying. When the leader fills, each follower gets a market order for its own size. Entries, exits, partial exits, scale-ins and reversals are copied as they fill.
• Sizing per follower. A multiplier from ×0.1 to ×5, rounded up to a whole contract and never below 1. Each follower can trade the leader’s contract, its Micro or its Mini, with optional Max Minis and Max Micros caps.
• Risk rules per account. Daily Loss, Daily Profit and Trades Limit on every account, whatever its platform, with optional Enforce that closes and locks an account until the 17:00 Chicago reset.
• One-click exits. Flatten closes one account and Flatten All closes the whole group, leader included, on the first click.
• Follower protection. When the leader goes flat, a follower still holding that contract is closed. The leader is never touched by it.

Not supported

• Identical fill prices. Followers enter at market after the leader fills, so their prices can differ from the leader’s, and from each other, in fast markets.
• The same exit orders on every platform. When the leader’s position has a take-profit and a stop-loss, Tradovate and Rithmic followers hold them as one native OCO pair; TopstepX followers hold both only with Auto OCO, otherwise one protective order. No follower is given two unlinked exits.
• Instruments a follower cannot trade. If a follower is set to Mini and the contract has no Mini, it skips that trade and the skip is logged.
• One account in two groups, or copying itself. Each account belongs to one group, and can never lead or follow itself.
• Copying working orders. A leader’s unfilled limit or stop entry is not placed on followers; it is copied when it fills.
• MetaTrader 4 or 5, forex, crypto or stocks. Replica is for futures only.
• Mac, phone and cloud versions. Not yet: they are coming soon. Today Replica runs on Windows and copies only while the app is open.
• TradingView alerts or webhooks as a leader. Replica copies trades that fill on the leader account, not alerts.

How to set it up

1. Install Replica on the Windows PC you trade from and sign in.
2. In Connections, add each login: Tradovate or NinjaTrader, Rithmic, and ProjectX (Topstep).
3. In Cockpit, create a copy group: pick the leader from any connection, then add followers from any connection.
4. Give each follower a multiplier and a contract choice (leader’s, Micro or Mini), and caps if you want them.
5. On the Risk page, set a daily loss limit on every follower, inside each firm’s own limit.
6. Test with one micro contract, then trade the leader as you normally do.
