Tradesea trade copier
Tradesea trades prop firm accounts through Rithmic. Replica connects to the same Rithmic account, so the trades you place in Tradesea are copied to every follower account in your group.
| What you keep | Tradesea for charts and order entry |
|---|---|
| What Replica connects to | The Rithmic account behind it (username, password and System name) |
| Roles | Leader or follower |
| Followers on | Rithmic, Tradovate (NinjaTrader included) or ProjectX / TopstepX |
| Runs on | Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) app today, which must be open while you trade. Mac, phone and cloud versions are coming soon. |
| Price | Essentials: $50 a month, $135 every 3 months or $480 a year (USD), 3-day free trial, no per-account fees. Sign-ups are opening soon. |
Supported
- Leader and follower. Trade the leader from Tradesea, and the fills are copied to every follower in the group, on Rithmic or on another supported connection. A follower account open in Tradesea shows Replica’s copied orders and positions like any other.
- Every order type that fills. Market, limit and stop orders, Tradesea brackets included: what fills on the leader is copied, entries, exits, partial exits, scale-ins and reversals.
- Take-profit and stop-loss on followers. When the leader’s position carries both, a Rithmic follower holds them as one native OCO pair at Rithmic; other followers follow the rules of their own connection.
- 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 login that allows one. A Rithmic login has a limit on how many sessions can be open at once. If yours allows one, Tradesea and Replica on the same login push each other out; ask your firm how many sessions your login allows.
- The wrong System name. Some firms on Tradesea use the TradeSea system name and some use their own. Use the one your firm gives you, or the connection fails.
- A Tradesea plugin, add-on or indicator. Replica connects to the broker account, not to Tradesea, and installs nothing inside it.
- Charts or quotes inside Replica. Keep Tradesea 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
- Install Replica on the Windows PC you trade from and sign in.
- Sign your Rithmic market-data agreements once on your firm’s own platform, if you have not already.
- In Replica, open Connections, choose Rithmic, and enter the same Rithmic username, password and System name you use in Tradesea.
- In Cockpit, create a copy group: the account you trade in Tradesea as the leader, your followers, and a multiplier for each.
- On the Risk page, set a daily loss limit on every follower, inside your firm’s own limit.
- Test with one micro contract placed from Tradesea, then trade as you normally do.
