My follower opened 2 NQ instead of 2 MNQ. What did I set wrong?

That follower is mapped to Mini. Switch it to Same, or keep Mini and lower its size. The order-free setup check shows the result before you press Start.

Switched it to Same, preview looks right now. Thanks!

Questions

Good to know
before you start.

Still unsure? Write to support@tapecrest.com.

Which platform do the tools run on?

NinjaTrader 8. Each tool is a NinjaScript add-on you import into the platform, with an English guide and setup notes.

What market data do I need?

It depends on the tool. Footprint, Absorption Levels and Absorption Premium need NinjaTrader's Order Flow+ volumetric data, and Absorption Levels also needs Tick Replay for historical bars. The Liquidity Heatmap needs Level II market depth. POC Candle needs Tick Replay for historical bars. Volume Profile + TPO needs neither Order Flow+ nor Tick Replay. Each tool lists its requirements before you start a trial.

How does the 7-day trial work?

Each paid tool has its own trial. The seven days start with the first activation, not when you create an account or download. Reminders arrive 48 and 24 hours before the end, and no card is needed.

What does lifetime mean?

You pay once for each tool. The licence has no scheduled end date and no monthly fee. The tool verifies it online at start and about every five minutes and keeps working up to 15 minutes offline, so it needs an internet connection.

How much do TapeCrest tools cost?

Each paid tool is a one-time payment for a lifetime licence, from $119 at launch prices. TapeCrest Complete puts all six paid tools on your chart for $654. Launch prices apply until May 6, 2027; the four free tools cost nothing. Every purchase can be refunded in full within 14 days, for any reason. See every price.

What is TapeCrest Complete?

TapeCrest Complete is the bundle of all six paid tools: Trade Copier, Volume Profile + TPO, Liquidity Heatmap, Footprint, Absorption Premium and Absorption Levels, each with its own lifetime licence for two computers. It costs $654 at launch; bought separately, the six cost $1,194.

Are the free tools really free?

Yes. Opening Range Breakout, POC Candle, Risk Manager and VWAP come with a Free Lifetime licence. You need a free account and a licence key; there is no card and no trial clock.

Can I use the Copier with prop firm accounts?

Use accounts you own and check that your firm allows copying between them. The Copier works with simulation and Tradovate USD accounts in one NinjaTrader 8; start on simulation accounts, expect fills to differ, and note that prop-to-prop copying is not yet qualified.

Do the tools trade for me?

No. They show order flow, liquidity, value and account limits: information for your own reading. The Copier repeats the trades you place; every decision stays yours.

When can I start?

Today. In your TapeCrest workspace you start the 7-day trial of any paid tool without a card, claim the four free tools, or buy a lifetime licence. Launch prices apply until May 6, 2027. See every price.
