Trade Copier (free)

This started off as a simple addition to the Simple Trade Copier, but ended up being a near complete rewrite after safety checks were added and new features added. WARNING >>> The Simple Trade Copier allows for an infinite looping of order copying, instantly getting you into a margin call and crashing Ninja, if not careful.

Master Position and Follower Position is used, because of this trade copier's flexabilith. The Accounts and Instruments can be mixed & matched in any way. For example, the Master Position could be Acct: TT12345 and Instr: /ES 03-24, and the Follower Position can also be Acct: TT12345 but Instr: /MNQ 03-24, so if the accounts are the same then neither is master or follower. The combination of account and instrument creates a Position (for the lack of a better term). While Master Account sounds better, it is inaccurate.
The Account selection and Instrument selection has been "properly" implemented vs. other trade copiers.

How it Works:

  • This trade copier only submits market orders to the Follower Positions.
  • Market Orders are copied from the Master Position to the Follower Position(s) as soon as the order is submitted by NinjaTrader.
  • Limit/Stop Orders are monitored on the Master Position to be Filled. As soon as NinjaTrader acknowledges a fill, a market order is submitted to the Follower Position(s). This can effectively be used to create "ghost" stop-losses for the Follower Position(s).
  • The Quantity Ration settings scale up the number of contracts sent to the FP.
  • Click the red/green button on the chart to enable/disable trade copying.

​
Safety Checks:

  • Check Follower Positions are Flat: When this is enabled, every time the MP is flat the FP are verified to be flat as well, because it easy to accidentally have the Trade Copier turned off while adding/removing positions to/from the MP. This tool waits 1.5 seconds for the broker to report back that FP are flat. If any FP is not reported as flat at that time, an Account.Flatten() command is issued, and a warning to the trader is issues. If you have automated strategies/systems running on any of the FP independant of this Trade Copier, then disable this option as it will flatten the positions of those automate systems.
  • ​​The FP setting are compared to the MP setting for infinite order feedback loops. If one is found the TC disables itself, plays an alert sound, and displays an error message to the CC > Log tab and Alerts Log window.
  • Other less lethal checks are done as well, and sends a message to the CC > Log tab and Alerts Log window.

Obviously, you should ONLY use Sim accounts while testing and familiarizing yourself with this tool. And, of course, use at YOUR OWN RISK ! ! !

Happy trading.

Futures, options, foreign currency, digital asset, and event contract trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for everyone. An investor may lose all or more than the initial investment. Trading should be undertaken only with risk capital—funds that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle—and only by those who can afford such losses. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Prior to trading digital assets, review the CFTC and NFA advisories for additional information regarding the significant risks involved. View Risk Disclosure Statement.

NFA Rule 2-29(c): Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
