Broker connection
Tradovate
You sign in on Tradovate's own page, so MimikTrader never sees your password. The accounts under that login are added to the connection.

Brokers & platforms
Every broker and platform MimikTrader connects to.
MimikTrader talks to your broker through its API. Below is every connection you can add today, whether its accounts can lead or follow in a copy group, and whether it runs on our servers or on your PC.
- Leader
- Can be the account a copy group follows.
- Follower
- Can copy a leader account.
- Cloud
- Runs on MimikTrader's servers. Nothing to keep running on your side.
- Desktop bridge
- Runs through the Mimik ProjectX Bridge on your Windows PC.

Platforms that connect through a broker
Some logins carry a platform's name but run on one of the brokers above. Each has its own tile, which opens the same connection as the broker behind it.
Through Tradovate
NinjaTrader
NinjaTrader accounts brokered by Tradovate connect with your Tradovate sign-in. If your firm gave you Rithmic credentials instead, use the Rithmic connection.

FAQ
Connection questions
Can one copy group mix brokers?
Yes. A group's leader and followers can sit on different connections, for example a Rithmic leader copying to Tradovate and Volumetrica followers.
Why can ProjectX accounts only follow?
ProjectX connects through the Mimik ProjectX Bridge on your Windows PC, and ProjectX accounts are supported as copy destinations. Use a Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic or Volumetrica account as the leader.
My prop firm gave me a dxFeed login. What do I pick?
Pick dxFeed or Volumetrica under Add Connection and enter that login. Both open the same Volumetrica form, and the connection shows as Volumetrica afterwards.
Do I need a VPS or a program running?
Only for ProjectX, which needs the bridge running on a Windows PC. Every other connection runs on MimikTrader's servers.
My broker isn't listed.
Then MimikTrader can't connect to it yet. Tell us which broker you use and we'll count the request. Contact us.
