Managing multiple Alpha Futures Group funded accounts? MimikTrader copies every trade from your leader account to all followers in real-time via your Tradovate connection. Built-in risk management mirrors Alpha Futures's EOD trailing drawdown, daily loss limits, and position size rules — protecting each account based on its specific plan type, whether Standard, Zero, or Advanced.
Alpha Futures Group uses CQG-based platforms (Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView, Quantower) for order routing — there is no Rithmic option. MimikTrader connects directly through the Tradovate API using OAuth, giving you secure, cloud-based trade copying without installing any desktop software or running a VPS.
Log in with your Alpha Futures/Tradovate credentials. MimikTrader discovers all your accounts automatically — evaluations and funded alike. Secure token-based authentication with no passwords stored.
MimikTrader runs in the cloud 24/5. No NinjaTrader, no Quantower, no desktop app needs to be open. Your trades copy whether you are at your desk or not, as long as your leader account is active.
Each follower account gets independent risk settings. A Standard account with a 2% daily loss limit can sit alongside an Advanced account with no daily limit — both managed in one copy group with different rules.
Alpha Futures's plan types have meaningfully different risk parameters. MimikTrader lets you configure each follower account independently, so Standard, Zero, and Advanced accounts all get the correct guardrails without manual monitoring.
Prop firm rules, account sizes, and policies are subject to change. Always verify current rules directly with Alpha Futures before configuring your risk settings.
Alpha Futures rule: Alpha Futures uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown: 4% on Standard and Zero plans, 3.5% on Advanced. The drawdown trails your account's equity high-water mark and is checked at end of day.
MimikTrader: MimikTrader's trailing drawdown tracks equity in real-time on every price tick — providing intraday protection that an end-of-day check cannot. Set the threshold to 4% or 3.5% to match your plan, and positions auto-flatten before a breach.
Alpha Futures rule: Standard and Zero plans have a 2% daily loss limit (soft breach). Advanced plans have no daily loss limit — the trailing drawdown is the only risk control.
MimikTrader: Set MimikTrader's daily loss limit to 2% on Standard/Zero followers. For Advanced followers, you can skip the daily limit or set a personal cap as extra protection. Each account is configured independently.
Alpha Futures rule: Standard plans use a scaling plan that increases allowed position size as your account balance grows. Advanced plans give full contract access from day one. Always check your plan's current published limits directly with Alpha Futures.
MimikTrader: MimikTrader doesn't clamp order size — set a per-account multiplier on each follower so a $50K account and a $150K account trade proportionally different size from the same leader trade. Daily loss, trailing drawdown, and profit-drawdown give-back are enforced per account regardless of size.
Alpha Futures rule: Standard and Zero plans restrict trading within a 2-minute buffer around high-impact news events. Advanced plans have no news trading restrictions.
MimikTrader: MimikTrader does not auto-enforce news windows. If you trade during a restricted period on your leader, those trades will copy to all followers. Be aware of the news calendar when running Standard or Zero accounts alongside your leader. Advanced followers are unaffected.

Alpha Futures Group uses Tradovate for order routing via CQG. In MimikTrader, click Connect Account and log in through the Tradovate OAuth flow using your Alpha Futures/Tradovate credentials. All your Alpha Futures accounts — evaluations and funded — will be discovered automatically.
Alpha Futures uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown of 4% on Standard and Zero plans, and 3.5% on Advanced plans. MimikTrader's trailing drawdown feature tracks your equity in real-time on every price tick — more granular than Alpha Futures's end-of-day check. Set the threshold to match your plan's published trailing value and MimikTrader will auto-flatten positions before a breach can occur during the trading session.
Yes. Alpha Futures enforces a 2% daily loss limit on Standard and Zero plans (soft breach). Set MimikTrader's daily loss limit to match or stay slightly below this threshold. When your P&L approaches the limit, MimikTrader flattens all positions and locks the account for the rest of the session. The Advanced plan has no daily loss limit, but you can still configure one in MimikTrader as an extra safety layer.
Alpha Futures's Standard plans use a scaling plan that increases allowed position size as your account grows, and always check your plan's current published limits. MimikTrader's job is to keep every follower account inside its own risk boundaries — daily loss limits, trailing drawdown, and profit-drawdown give-back protection are all enforced per account, with a sizing multiplier you set on each follower so a $50K account and a $150K account aren't trading identical size.
Alpha Futures Group allows copy trading across your own accounts, provided it is actively managed — fully automated bots are not permitted. MimikTrader is designed for exactly this use case: you actively trade on a leader account and MimikTrader copies those trades to your other accounts in real-time. Always review Alpha Futures's current terms of service to confirm compliance with your specific account type.
Standard plans have a 4% EOD trailing drawdown, 2% daily loss limit, position scaling, and news trading restrictions (2-minute buffer). Zero plans share the same drawdown and daily loss rules but have different fee structures. Advanced plans feature a 3.5% EOD trailing drawdown, no daily loss limit, no news trading restrictions, and no scaling — full contract access from day one. MimikTrader lets you configure each follower's risk rules independently to match its specific plan type.
Alpha Futures restricts news trading on Standard and Zero plans with a 2-minute buffer around high-impact events. MimikTrader does not currently enforce news-based trading windows automatically, so if you trade during restricted periods on your leader, those trades will copy to followers. Be mindful of the news calendar when trading Standard or Zero accounts. Advanced plan accounts have no news restrictions.
Yes. Alpha Futures allows up to 3 qualified accounts (maximum $450K combined). Set one account as your leader and the others as followers. Each follower gets its own risk settings and lot multiplier, so a $50K account and a $150K account can have appropriately scaled position sizes and drawdown thresholds.
Trades are detected via persistent WebSocket connections to the Tradovate backend. When the leader receives a fill, follower orders are placed immediately after — there is no polling delay, detection happens in real time at the broker API level.
Yes. MimikTrader offers a 7-day free trial on Starter and Pro plans. Connect your Alpha Futures accounts and test the workflow at no cost — Pro trial includes trailing drawdown, daily loss limits, and the full risk suite.
