1.6 ms measured copy latency
Fastest trade copier: 1.6 ms measured in NinjaTrader 8
Copilink copies trades inside NinjaTrader 8 with a measured 1.6 ms average from the leader order event to follower order submission, across about 70 trades. As a NinjaTrader trade copier, it runs on your machine, so there is no round trip to a cloud server between the leader and the follower.

Why Speed Matters
Real-World Impact
Scalping
Milliseconds decide profitability. A 1.6 ms copy delay keeps follower orders close to the leader's price.
- Less copy-induced slippage
- Orders submitted within milliseconds
- Per-account ratios
- Confident scaling
Day Trading
Fast-moving markets punish delay. The less time between leader and follower, the closer the fills.
- Followers enter with the leader
- Fewer fills at a worse price
- Lower opportunity cost
- Consistent results
Prop Firms
Prop firm traders rely on speed for evaluations and scaling. Copilink pairs execution speed with built-in prop firm risk management.
- Pass challenges faster
- Execute within limits
- Sync multi-accounts
- Stay compliant

Why local copying keeps the delay low
In trade copying, the delay between the leader fill and the follower order is the part the copier controls. Copilink was built as a local NinjaTrader trade copierso that delay is measured in single milliseconds. Each follower order is still filled, rejected, or slipped by its own broker.
Native Integration = True Speed
Copilink runs inside NinjaTrader. It reads the leader fill from the same session and submits follower orders through the same connection, with no external app or relay server in the path. A NinjaTrader VPS in Chicago, near the exchange, shortens the network leg Copilink does not control.
Cloud-Based Copiers = Latency
A cloud copier adds a network hop to its servers and back; TradeSyncer, for example, publishes an average under 50 ms. Copilink's 1.6 ms is internal processing on your machine, so the two numbers measure different things. See how they compare in our Copilink vs TradeSyncer comparison.
Perfect for Prop Firms
For scalpers and prop traders, a follower that lags the leader by hundreds of milliseconds can fill at a different price. Copilink submits every follower order within milliseconds of the leader fill, across as many accounts as your NinjaTrader connection allows.
Benchmark Proven
The 1.6 ms figure is an average across about 70 trades, measured from the leader order event to follower order submission inside NinjaTrader, with broker and exchange time excluded. The method and its limits are on the methodology page.
