Step by step

Check NinjaTrader 8. You need version 8.1.8 or later (Help → About) on a Windows PC or Windows VPS, with all your accounts connected.
Get your free license key. Enter your email on tradekopier.com and you receive the key and the download link.
Import the add-on. In NinjaTrader 8 go to Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On and select the .zip without unzipping it.
Restart and activate. Close and reopen NinjaTrader, click TradeKopier in the Control Center menu and enter your email and license key.
Create a copy group. Give it a name, choose the leader account (the one you trade) and add the follower accounts.
Set sizes and limits. Set each follower's multiplier in the Cockpit and the daily loss limit and profit target in Risk Management.
Start the group and trade. Every entry, exit, stop and target on the leader is copied to the followers in real time.

Tips before you start

Test the group with simulation accounts first.
Make sure every account you want to copy to appears in NinjaTrader 8 before creating the group.
If you want copying to run without your own computer on, use a Windows VPS.
If you trade prop firm accounts, check your firm's rules on trade copiers.

Frequently asked questions

How many accounts can I copy to?

There is no limit on follower accounts or on broker connections in TradeKopier.

Can each account use a different size?

Yes. Each follower has its own size multiplier, which you set in the Cockpit.

What happens if one account reaches its daily loss limit?

TradeKopier closes that account's positions automatically and can lock it until the next day. The other accounts keep copying.

Can I try it without risking money?

Yes. You can create a group with NinjaTrader 8 simulation accounts first and check that everything copies as you expect before using live or funded accounts.

Is it the same as a trade duplicator or copy trader?

Yes. A trade copier is also called a trade duplicator, copy trader or account copier: it repeats the trades of one account on other accounts.
