Copy Trades Across NinjaTrader, Tradovate & TradingView
Running accounts on Rithmic and Tradovate at the same time? Prefer charting on TradingView but need trades copied across every account? PFACopySuite bridges all three platforms within a single NinjaTrader 8 instance — no duplicate machines, no cloud relays, no workarounds.
The Multi-Platform Challenge
Futures traders rarely operate on a single platform anymore. Here's why that creates a trade copying problem — and why most copiers can't solve it.
You have three Rithmic-connected prop firm accounts and two Tradovate-connected accounts. You like charting on TradingView. You want to place one trade and have it copied across all five accounts simultaneously — regardless of which connection type each account uses.
Most trade copiers are designed for a single broker connection type. They work with Rithmic accounts or Tradovate accounts — but not both at the same time. This forces traders into workarounds: running two copies of NinjaTrader, using separate machines, or managing some accounts manually while the copier handles others.
PFACopySuite operates at the NinjaTrader 8 connection level, which means it sees every account regardless of broker type. Rithmic, CQG, Tradovate, Interactive Brokers, Schwab — all managed simultaneously within a single NinjaTrader instance, a single copier window, and a single copy configuration.
How Cross-Platform Trade Copying Works
NinjaTrader 8 supports multiple broker connections simultaneously. PFACopySuite leverages this by monitoring activity across all connections from a single interface.
The copier monitors your designated lead account. The moment an order is placed — regardless of where it came from — PFACopySuite submits corresponding orders to every enabled follower account with each account's individual sizing, conversion, and risk settings applied.
Three Platforms, One Workflow
Here's how each platform fits into the PFACopySuite workflow and what you need to know about using them together.
NinjaTrader 8
NinjaTrader 8 is the foundation everything runs on. PFACopySuite is a native NinjaTrader 8 add-on — it installs directly into the platform and operates within its ecosystem. All broker connections (Rithmic, CQG, Tradovate, Interactive Brokers, Schwab) are managed through NinjaTrader's connection manager.
You can place trades directly from NinjaTrader using charts, the SuperDOM, the order entry panel, or any NinjaTrader-compatible tool. NinjaTrader 8 must be running for PFACopySuite to operate, regardless of which platform you use for order entry.
Tradovate
Tradovate serves two purposes. First, it's a broker connection type — many prop firms provide Tradovate-connected accounts, and NinjaTrader connects to them through its Tradovate adapter. These accounts appear alongside your Rithmic or CQG accounts in PFACopySuite.
Second, Tradovate has its own web and desktop trading interface. Orders placed through Tradovate's platform are detected by NinjaTrader and copied by PFACopySuite — just like orders placed from NinjaTrader itself.
TradingView
Many traders prefer TradingView for its charting tools and interface. When your brokerage account is connected to both TradingView and NinjaTrader, orders placed through TradingView are detected at the NinjaTrader connection level and PFACopySuite copies them to all follower accounts.
This means you can chart, analyze, and enter orders entirely within TradingView while PFACopySuite handles the replication across every connected account in NinjaTrader — Rithmic, Tradovate, CQG, or any combination.

What Makes Multi-Platform Copying Reliable
Cross-platform trade copying introduces complexities that single-broker copiers never have to deal with. Here's how PFACopySuite handles them.
Fair Order Processing
Randomized submission order ensures no account — regardless of broker type — is systematically first or last. A Rithmic account and a Tradovate account have equal chances at the best fill on every trade.
Cross-Broker Mismatch Detection
Position monitoring works across all broker types simultaneously. If a Tradovate account falls out of sync with the lead Rithmic account — due to a rejected order, partial fill, or connection issue — PFACopySuite flags it immediately.
ATM Strategies Across Brokers
ATM strategy replication works across broker types. In AutoDetect mode, the lead account's ATM settings are detected and applied to followers regardless of connection type. In Template mode, followers receive ATM brackets even when the lead trades from TradingView or Tradovate — platforms that don't natively carry ATM data. Protective orders scale correctly per account.
IntelliSize Across Connections
IntelliSize smart contract conversion works identically across all broker types. Whether a follower is on Rithmic or Tradovate, the optimal mini/micro allocation is calculated independently based on that account's sizing settings.
Independent Connection Monitoring
Each broker connection is monitored independently. If your Tradovate connection drops but Rithmic stays up, copying continues for Rithmic accounts while the Tradovate accounts are flagged and excluded until reconnected.
Per-Account Sizing Across Brokers
Every follower account has its own position sizing configuration — Ratio, Fixed, Account Value, NotionalValue, or PositionSize. A small Tradovate-connected funded account can receive 1 contract while a large Rithmic-connected personal account receives 5, all from the same lead trade.
