A futures trade copier built to run on Mac
Connect Tradovate and Rithmic accounts from a native macOS app. No NinjaTrader installation, Windows virtual machine or Windows VPS is required.
What the Mac build supports
Mac hardware
Separate production packages are built for Intel x64 and Apple silicon arm64 Macs.
Broker connections
Direct Tradovate and Rithmic connections. A firm still decides which feed and platform your account receives.
Secure storage
Desktop sessions and broker credentials use the macOS Keychain and remain tied to this device.
Updates
Installed production packages can receive the matching macOS update channel for their architecture.
Set it up, then prove it in simulation
A clean test matters more than a quick install. Begin flat, keep the broker platform open for verification and watch every follower result before moving to a live account.
- 01
Download the installer for your Mac
Choose the Intel or Apple-silicon package that matches this computer. Copilink ships as a native macOS application; there is no Windows virtual machine in the middle.
- 02
Sign in and connect a simulation account
Tradovate opens browser authorization. Rithmic uses the username, system and location supplied by your prop firm. Credentials stay in macOS Keychain on this device.
- 03
Build one follower profile
Choose the leader, add only accounts you are allowed to copy, and set a whole-contract size or ratio for each follower.
- 04
Keep the Mac awake for the session
A desktop copier cannot send or monitor requests while the computer sleeps, loses power or loses its internet connection. Run one small simulation test before live use.
Sleep and network interruptions
Disable automatic sleep during a trading session and use a stable wired or strong Wi-Fi connection. After wake, a network change or a broker reconnect, confirm every position and working order at the broker before the leader trades again.
What does not change on Mac
Orders are still accepted, rejected and filled separately for each account. Copilink can send a flatten or cancellation request; it cannot guarantee the broker accepts or fills it. The broker remains the authority for live positions and orders.
