NinjaTrader trade copier

Supported

• Leader and follower. Trade the leader from NinjaTrader, and the fills are copied to every follower in the group, on the same connection or on another supported connection. A follower account open in NinjaTrader shows Replica’s copied orders and positions like any other.
• NinjaTrader accounts. Choose NinjaTrader in Connections and sign in on the Tradovate page; your password stays with Tradovate.
• Rithmic accounts in NinjaTrader. If NinjaTrader trades your prop firm account through a Rithmic connection, connect the same Rithmic login in Replica.
• ATM strategies and brackets. What fills on the leader is copied. When the leader’s position carries a take-profit and a stop-loss, Tradovate and Rithmic followers hold them as one native OCO pair.
• Each follower at its own size. A multiplier from ×0.1 to ×5, or the leader’s contract, its Micro or its Mini, with optional Max Minis and Max Micros caps.
• Per-account risk rules. Daily Loss, Daily Profit and Trades Limit per account, with optional Enforce, plus Flatten and Flatten All from Replica.

Not supported

• Two sessions on a Rithmic login that allows one. A Rithmic login has a limit on how many sessions can be open at once. If yours allows one, NinjaTrader and Replica on the same login push each other out; ask your firm how many sessions your login allows.
• NinjaTrader connections outside Tradovate and Rithmic. Replica copies Tradovate, Rithmic and ProjectX / TopstepX accounts only.
• A NinjaTrader plugin, add-on or indicator. Replica connects to the broker account, not to NinjaTrader, and installs nothing inside it.
• Charts or quotes inside Replica. Keep NinjaTrader for charts and order entry; Replica shows accounts, positions, P&L and copy status.
• Copying working orders. A limit or stop entry that has not filled on the leader 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 Replica, open Connections and add the account NinjaTrader trades on: NinjaTrader (Tradovate sign-in) or Rithmic (the same username, password and System name).
3. In Cockpit, create a copy group: the account you trade in NinjaTrader as the leader, your followers, and a multiplier for each.
4. On the Risk page, set a daily loss limit on every follower, inside your firm’s own limit.
5. Test with one micro contract placed from NinjaTrader, then trade as you normally do.
