Stop paying for a VPS. Stop babysitting NinjaTrader. MimikTrader runs 100% in the cloud — connect your accounts and start copying trades. No software to install, no servers to manage.
VPS subscriptions add $20-$50/month or more on top of your copier subscription. That cost adds up fast when you are already paying for evaluations.
If the platform crashes, disconnects, or requires an update, copying stops until you intervene. You are always one crash away from missed trades.
Operating system updates, storage management, restart schedules — all things you need to monitor. One missed update can bring everything down.
A cheap VPS introduces execution delays. A fast VPS costs more. Either way, you are managing trade-offs that should not be your problem.
Managing accounts across different data feeds or connections may require running multiple NinjaTrader instances on your VPS.
For traders managing five, ten, or more prop firm accounts, the desktop approach becomes a significant operational burden.
A dedicated VPS costs $30-$50/month or more. With a cloud-based copier, that expense is gone entirely.
No installing, updating, or troubleshooting NinjaTrader or any copier add-on. There is no software on your end to crash or freeze.
If your laptop battery dies or you lose internet, the copier still runs. Cloud infrastructure does not depend on your local setup.
Adding more follower accounts is as simple as connecting them through OAuth. No managing more VPS resources or platform connections.
Since MimikTrader is web-based, you can access the dashboard and monitor your accounts from any device with a browser.
MimikTrader's cloud infrastructure is purpose-built for trade copying. Execution speed does not vary based on your VPS provider or hardware.
Connect your Tradovate brokerage accounts using Tradovate's secure OAuth flow. No credentials are stored by MimikTrader.

For practical purposes in prop firm futures trading, yes. MimikTrader copies trades in real time on dedicated cloud infrastructure. The execution speed is not affected by your local internet speed or computer performance, which is actually an advantage over many VPS setups.
MimikTrader's infrastructure is designed for high availability. If there is an issue with the cloud service, your existing positions remain in place on your brokerage accounts — only new copy operations would be paused until service is restored.
Only if you want to use NinjaTrader as your charting and order entry platform. MimikTrader does not require NinjaTrader to run for trade copying to work. If you place trades through Tradovate directly or through TradingView, NinjaTrader is not needed at all.
Yes. Since MimikTrader is web-based, you can access the dashboard and monitor your accounts from any device with a browser.
A VPS capable of running NinjaTrader reliably for trade copying typically costs $30-$50/month for a basic plan. Higher-performance VPS options for lower latency can run $75/month or more. MimikTrader eliminates this cost entirely.
