At a glance
TapeCrest Copier is a trade copier add-on for NinjaTrader 8. It copies the orders you place on one leader account to your other accounts in the same NinjaTrader 8 on the same computer, each follower with its own size, instrument mapping and optional protection.
The film · 1:41
In English, with subtitles. The caption under each film says what you see: recorded NQ sessions, re-drawn, or a simulation.
The problem
An evaluation, a funded account and your own account side by side: the same entry placed on each one, every stop moved by hand, every limit watched on its own. One slow click and the accounts drift apart.
The same order, ticket after ticket
One leader order, copied to every follower ticked for the run.
Stops moved one account at a time
Moves of the stop and profit target follow the leader on each account.
A limit you notice afterwards
Loss limit, profit target and trailing drawdown watched on each account you protect.
By handEvery account × entry, stop, profit target and one stop move
20With the CopierThe same four actions, once, on the leader

Try it here
A leader and its followers with different sizes, a micro-to-mini mapping and a loss limit. Buy, move the stops, flatten the followers, trip a limit or hit Panic.
Ready · leader flat · followers synced
Interactive illustration with simulated prices. No orders are sent. Use accounts you own, check your provider's rules and test in simulation first. Fills can differ between accounts.
Set up in four steps
The setup follows the same order every time, and an order-free check shows what each follower would receive before anything starts. Start on SIM.
The account you trade from. The Copier listens to its orders: entries, ATM stop and profit target orders, changes and cancellations.
Every follower is chosen explicitly. No account is matched by its name; labels are only there for your review.
A multiplier or a fixed number of contracts per follower, a maximum per order, and Same, Micro, Mini or an exact contract pair.
1 MNQ mapped to Mini becomes 1 NQ: ten times the exposure. The order-free check shows it before you start.
Optional loss limit, profit target and trailing drawdown for each account, from activation, plus blocked hours and news windows. Then start copying.
Protection on every account
Each follower carries its own numbers. When one account reaches a limit, that account is handled and the others keep copying.
From activation: on SIM, reaching one pauses new copied entries and, if you chose, closes the account; on Tradovate it requests the broker's account lock until the period ends.
Note Copying never restarts by itself. The final loss can be larger than the limit.
A floor that follows your P&L up from the moment you activate protection. Trail $500 with a peak of +$200 and the floor sits at −$300.
Note Uses NinjaTrader's P&L since activation, open P&L included, not your firm's formula.
Pause or lock an account for 15 minutes, 2 hours, a custom number of minutes, until its protection period ends or until 00:00 on your computer's clock.
Note On SIM it is a local pause; on Tradovate, the broker's lock, which can close positions and cancel orders.
Up to three blocked windows a day, and windows around news from a CSV you import. On SIM they pause new copied entries; on Tradovate they request the broker lock.
Note The news list is a file you load; nothing is downloaded for you.
Both show the exact accounts for review first. Flat followers closes the followers and keeps your leader trade; Panic stops the copier, then closes the accounts you confirm.
Note Close a leader without its own protection yourself. If the leader is flat while a follower holds a position, the Copier stops and requests flat for the followers.
Nothing is cancelled, closed or unlocked because of the licence. If access lapses during a run, full exits, cancellations, tighter stops, profit targets moved closer, Flat followers and Panic keep working.
Note New entries, scale-ins, partial exits and wider stops are not copied until you restart the run with access.
After the close
Executions and complete trades for any account, plus weekly and monthly summaries for accounts with a protection period. Export the period you choose to Excel (.xlsx), CSV or HTML.
Requirements and limits
| Platform | NinjaTrader 8, with leader and followers in the same NinjaTrader 8 on one computer. Closing the Copier window stops copying. |
|---|---|
| Accounts | Accounts you own: simulation accounts named Sim… and Tradovate USD accounts. Rithmic is not listed. Check that your broker and prop firm allow copying. |
| Orders | Market, limit, stop market, stop limit and MIT orders, ATM stop and profit target orders, changes and cancellations. |
| Size and mapping | Multiplier or fixed contracts per follower, with a maximum per order: a larger order is not sent. Same instrument, or Mini → Micro, Micro → Mini and exact pairs for the NQ, ES, YM, RTY, GC and CL families, same month. |
| Market data | No Order Flow+ needed. Copying needs working account and data connections. |
| Fills | Each follower receives its own order, so fills can differ between accounts. |
| Starting | Start flat. Positions that already exist are not opened on followers to catch up. |
| Providers | Tradovate: limits, locks and blocked hours use the broker's account lock. Simulation accounts: a pause of copied entries. |
| Verified | In simulation on one contract: ATM entries long and short, each follower's own stop and profit target, moving both on the leader, Flat followers, Panic and the automatic panic. Not yet qualified: prop-to-prop copying and the full Tradovate stop, profit target and exit cycle. |
| Price | $279 launch price, then $349 · one-time payment See pricing |
| Licence | 7-day trial from your first activation, no card. The lifetime licence is a separate one-time purchase. |
| Device | Two computers, managed in your workspace. Start copier needs an online check; a licence answer never stops a running copier. |

Use accounts you own and check that your firm allows copying between them for the account types you hold. The Copier works with simulation and Tradovate USD accounts in the same NinjaTrader 8; start on SIM and expect fills to differ between accounts. Copying from one prop account to another is not yet qualified in version 1.0.0.
Yes. Choose a multiplier or a fixed number of contracts for each follower, with a maximum per order; a larger order is not sent to that follower. Mapping changes the instrument separately from the size: one MNQ mapped to Mini is one NQ, ten times the exposure. The order-free setup check shows the result before you start.
On a SIM account the Copier pauses new copied entries until the protection period ends; on Tradovate it requests the broker's account lock, which can close positions and cancel orders. The other accounts keep copying; copying never restarts by itself.
It acts on the limits you set, measured from activation on NinjaTrader's P&L, open P&L included. Your firm may calculate drawdown differently and the Copier does not check its rules, so set your limits well inside the firm's.
If the leader's connection stays down for 10 seconds, the Copier stops; nothing is cancelled when a connection drops. A lapsed licence check cancels, closes or unlocks nothing: exits, cancellations, tighter stops, Flat followers and Panic keep working, and new entries, scale-ins, partial exits and wider stops wait until you restart the run, flat, with access.
No. The Copier needs NinjaTrader 8 with working account and data connections. Analysis tools such as Footprint have their own data requirements.
