Set up. Start copying.

Getting Started

TradeClone is a native NinjaTrader 8 add-on. It installs once, runs inside your own copy of NinjaTrader, and mirrors trades from one account to as many others as you like - no cloud relay, no second machine, no added latency.

1. Download your TradeClone package from Whop after purchase.
2. In NinjaTrader 8, import the add-on, then restart the platform. (Exact import path to be confirmed - e.g. Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On.)
3. Open the NinjaTrader Control Center, click New, and choose TradeClone by LDT. The TradeClone window opens.

The window has three tabs: COPIER (where you select the leader and manage followers), RISK (per-account daily limits), and EXPORT (PnL image export). TradeClone saves your setup and restores it every time you reopen the window.

Connecting Accounts

TradeClone works with the accounts already connected in your NinjaTrader platform. One account is the leader - the account you trade - and every other account can be a follower that mirrors it. Leader and followers can sit on different prop firms and even trade different instruments.

On the COPIER tab, three controls sit along the top:

Each connected account appears as its own row. Enable the followers you want copying; the coloured status dot on the left of every row tells you where each account stands:

Each row also shows live balance, side, quantity, average price, unrealized PnL and total PnL, plus a FLATTEN button to close that account on its own. A FLATTEN ALL button closes every account at once - it uses a two-second hold-to-confirm so it can't be hit by accident.

Copy Modes & Ratios

The MODE dropdown on the COPIER tab sets how the leader's order size translates to each follower. There are three modes:

In Ratio and Preset modes the third column becomes editable per row, so you can size every account on its own, for example one follower at ×1 and another at ×5. In 1-1 mode that column is hidden because there's nothing to set.

Cross orders (micro ↔ full)

The CROSS ORDER column lets a follower trade the micro or full-size counterpart of whatever the leader is trading. If your leader is on NQ, a follower can mirror onto MNQ instead - the cell shows which contract that account will use, and you click to toggle it. Supported pairs:

• NQ ↔ MNQ  ·  Nasdaq 100
• ES ↔ MES  ·  S&P 500
• RTY ↔ M2K  ·  Russell 2000
• YM ↔ MYM  ·  Dow
• CL ↔ MCL  ·  Crude oil
• GC ↔ MGC  ·  Gold

If the leader's instrument has no micro/full counterpart, the toggle stays inactive for that account.

ATM & Brackets

TradeClone has full ATM bracket support. When your leader entry carries a stop-loss and take-profit, TradeClone mirrors those orders to each follower and scales them to that account, so the copied position lands with its stop and target already attached.

Each follower manages its own brackets. If one account's stop or target fills, TradeClone cancels only that account's remaining leg, and the others keep running against the leader. Every account stays correct even when fills land at different times or prices across firms.

Per-Account Risk

The RISK tab applies daily guardrails to each account individually, so one account can be capped without touching the others.

The risk table also shows each account's balance, distance to its drawdown limit, and an inactivity column, alongside the loss and profit controls. Limits are evaluated on each account's total PnL (realized plus unrealized).

What happens when a limit is hit

The moment an account reaches its daily loss limit or profit target, three things happen to that account only:

• The account is flattened - any open position is closed.
• Copying is switched off for it and its status dot returns to grey, so no new trades are mirrored to it.
• A padlock appears on its row and the row dims, marking it as locked. Hovering the account name shows the reason - Daily Loss Limit reached or Daily Profit Target reached.

The leader and every other follower keep running normally throughout.

Unlocking an account

A locked account stays locked until you clear it, so it can't start trading again on its own. To unlock it yourself, use the padlock on that row:

• First click - the padlock shakes and flashes red. This is a deliberate guard so it can't be cleared by accident.
• Second click (within a second) - a confirmation appears. Choosing Yes removes the block, unticks both risk limits for that account, and returns its indicator to grey. Re-enable the account when you're ready for it to copy again.

Locks also clear on their own at the daily session rollover (6:00 PM Eastern): every block resets and any account whose saved setting is enabled comes back online for the new session.

Troubleshooting

Most issues come down to a follower not being in the state you expect. Start with the status dot on its row:

• A follower isn't copying. Check it's enabled (green dot), that a leader is selected in the LEADER dropdown, and that the account is connected in NinjaTrader.
• The dot is yellow. The account is holding a position that doesn't match the leader. Flatten it (or bring it in line) and it will resync to green.
• Quantities look wrong. Confirm the MODE, then the account's value in the RATIO or PRESET column - in Ratio mode the size is leader quantity × that ratio.
• The CROSS ORDER toggle won't change. That instrument has no micro/full counterpart, so there's nothing to switch to.
• Settings didn't carry over. Your configuration is stored at Documents\NinjaTrader 8\TradeClone.xml. It's restored on restart and across workspace switches.
