Replikanto questions
How much does Replikanto cost?
On its product page on 20 September 2026: $299 for a single-machine lifetime licence, $249 for one year on one machine, $399 lifetime or $299 for one year on two machines, shown as sale prices. It has a 7-day trial. Copilink for NinjaTrader 8's copier licence is $226.88 once, with a 7-day no-card trial.
Why do copied followers go out of sync?
In any copier, a follower drifts when an order is rejected, a connection drops or someone trades the follower by hand, and fast markets make it more likely. Replikanto's Follower Guard can cancel, flatten, disarm and email when that happens; Copilink's follower protection flattens a follower that is the wrong size, open while the leader is flat or on the opposite side. Either way, check every account at the broker after a disconnect.
Does Replikanto work without NinjaTrader?
No. Replikanto is a NinjaTrader 8 add-on, and so is Copilink for NinjaTrader 8. If you want to copy Tradovate or Rithmic accounts without NinjaTrader, Copilink Standalone is a separate Windows and macOS app.
Try your own NT8 workflow
Copilink's seven-day NT8 trial needs no card. Test the accounts, order types and rules that matter before choosing a license.
