Key Features
The Features That Matter Most in 2026
Real-Time Trade Replication — When you place a trade on ES or NQ, your follower accounts need to execute within milliseconds. MimikTrader copies trades in real time from dedicated cloud infrastructure.
Cloud-Based Architecture — No VPS to rent, no desktop app that needs to stay open. Connect your Tradovate accounts through OAuth, and the copier runs independently from there.
OCO Bracket Order Support — A copier that only copies entries without replicating the bracket forces manual stops and targets on every follower. MimikTrader fully supports OCO bracket orders.
Per-Account Risk Management — Configure daily loss limits, trailing drawdown, profit targets, and auto-flatten individually for each follower account. Different firms, different rules — one platform.
Cross-Contract Copying — Trade NQ on your leader but copy to MNQ on a smaller evaluation. MimikTrader supports cross-contract copying across standard and micro contract pairings.
Platform Compatibility — Works with Tradovate, NinjaTrader (via Tradovate), and TradingView (via Tradovate). Execute trades from whichever platform you prefer.

Step 01
Trade copied across five accounts
You place a trade on the leader account. MimikTrader sends the correct order to each follower based on its copy settings.
Step 02
One account reaches its daily loss limit
Account 03 hits the configured daily loss threshold while the copied position is still live.
Step 03
MimikTrader flattens the affected account
The breached account is closed according to your configured flatten rule.
Step 04
The account is locked
New copied trades are blocked from entering that account until the lock is cleared.
Step 05
Other accounts keep running
Accounts 01, 02, 04, and 05 continue following the copy group because they did not breach their rules.
Step 06
The event is recorded
The fill, breach, flatten action, account lock, and timestamp are written to the trade record.
