NinjaTrader 8 trade copier with risk controls built in.
Copy one leader across multiple NinjaTrader accounts with fast execution and built-in risk controls for funded and evaluation accounts.
Windows and NinjaTrader 8 required · Separate license
One leader. Followers in the same NinjaTrader session.
Connect your accounts in NinjaTrader, pick a leader, then choose which followers copy and at what size: exact quantity or a ratio. The add-on runs inside NT8, so NinjaTrader must stay open and connected.
Start in simulation and confirm every account's orders at the broker before going live.
Does NinjaTrader include a trade copier?
Not for copying between accounts. ATM strategies manage the stop and target on one position; they do not copy orders to other accounts. Free third-party copiers can handle basic mirroring, so check how any copier treats working orders, recovery and per-account limits. Copilink adds follower sizing, follower protection and an optional Risk edition, licensed separately from NinjaTrader. Switching from Replikanto?

Choose copying or copying with risk controls.
The Risk edition adds daily loss and profit limits, evaluation goals, consistency and trailing threshold tracking, and session lockout. Your firm and broker stay the record for balances and violations.

ATM stops and targets
Run an entry, partial fill, stop move, target fill and manual flatten in simulation, then check every follower's orders.
Disconnects
A lost connection or closed NT8 session interrupts copying. Missed orders do not replay, so reconcile each account after reconnecting.
Each firm's copy policy
Check copying rules and contract limits before enabling a live follower.

Questions before connecting live accounts.
- Can I copy from a simulated leader to live followers?
- Yes, if each account is connected in NT8 and its provider allows it. Sim and live fills differ, so start at the smallest live size.
- What happens if NinjaTrader closes?
- Copying stops. Reopen NT8, check every account's positions and orders, then resume.
- Can NQ copy to MNQ or ES to MES?
- Yes, with cross-instrument mapping and a whole-contract ratio. See the NQ to MNQ guide.
- Does it copy ATM strategy stops and targets?
- The add-on copies working orders, so the stop and target orders an ATM strategy places on the leader are copied to each follower at that follower's size. Test entries, stop moves, partial fills and target fills in simulation first.
- Should the copier run inside NinjaTrader or outside it?
- Inside, if you already trade every account in NinjaTrader: the add-on works in that session and needs nothing else. Outside, if you would run NinjaTrader only for copying or trade on a Mac: Copilink Standalone connects to Tradovate and Rithmic directly.
- Do I need a separate licence for each product?
- Yes. Copilink for NinjaTrader 8 and Copilink Standalone have separate installers, trials and plans.
