What you can do
Copy across Rithmic accounts with rules built in.
Rithmic is the order-routing infrastructure behind a large share of futures prop firms. MimikTrader connects to Rithmic accounts through Rithmic's own R|Protocol API, mirrors orders from a leader account to selected followers in real time, and enforces each account's risk rules on every tick.
- Connect Rithmic accounts with your firm-issued username and password
- Create copy groups with one leader and multiple followers
- Set follower sizing per account with a per-account multiplier
- Apply daily loss, drawdown, and profit drawdown enforcement per account
- Auto-flatten and lock breached accounts
- Record fills, orders, and breach events in the journal
How it connects
Connect Rithmic in a couple of minutes.
There's no desktop app and no OAuth redirect. Add the connection in MimikTrader with your Rithmic system, username, and password, and your accounts and balances appear as soon as the connection authenticates.
- Add the connection — In MimikTrader go to Connections → Add Connection → Rithmic.
- Pick your system — Choose your prop firm from the Rithmic system list, or Rithmic 01 / Rithmic Paper Trading for a retail account.
- Enter your credentials — Use the Rithmic username and password your prop firm issued for Rithmic, not your firm dashboard login.
- Verify — Once connected you'll see your Rithmic account balances and connection status in the Connections tab.
- Group it — Add your Rithmic accounts to a copy group as leader or followers alongside Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and ProjectX accounts.
Native integration
A direct R|Protocol connection, not a workaround.
MimikTrader talks to Rithmic over the R|Protocol API — the same interface professional trading applications use. Orders are placed server-to-server, fills are detected at the Rithmic server as they happen, and positions are tracked from Rithmic's own position and P&L stream.
Because the connection runs in our cloud, nothing needs to be open on your machine. You do not need R|Trader Pro, NinjaTrader, or any other desktop application running for copying to work.
Rithmic prop firms
Prop firms that route through Rithmic.
If your prop firm routes orders through Rithmic, you can select it when adding your connection. MimikTrader compatibility depends on the broker connection your account routes through — check your account routing before setting up copy trading.

Risk Management
8 Pre-Trade Risk Checks on Every Account
Prop firm rules, account sizes, and policies are subject to change. Always verify current rules directly with your prop firm before configuring your risk settings.
MimikTrader is independent software; prop firm names are referenced for compatibility context only and do not imply affiliation or endorsement unless explicitly stated.
- Daily Loss Limits — Automatic position flatten and account lock when daily loss threshold is reached.
- Trailing Drawdown — Equity high-water mark tracked on every price tick — essential for prop firm accounts.
- Profit Drawdown Protection — Cap give-back from your daily peak to protect gains.
- Auto-Flatten & Lock — Instant position closure the moment any risk rule is breached.
- Per-Account Multipliers — Size each follower up or down from the leader independently.
- Weekly Limits — Cumulative weekly loss and profit controls across multiple sessions (verify current wiring for your account).
- Max Daily Trades — Limit round-trip trades per day to stay within firm guidelines.
- Tick-Level Enforcement — Risk rules checked on every market tick, not just at trade entry.

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.

FAQ
Rithmic Trade Copier Questions
Yes. Rithmic is supported today. Add a Rithmic connection with the username and password your prop firm issued for Rithmic, select your firm's Rithmic system, and copy trades across your accounts with full risk management — all from the cloud, no desktop app required.
A large share of futures prop firms route orders through Rithmic, including Topstep, Apex Trader Funding, Bulenox, Tradeify, Lucid Trading, Earn2Trade, The Trading Pit, and Funded Futures Network. You select your firm's Rithmic system when you add the connection. Retail Rithmic 01 and Rithmic Paper Trading accounts are supported too.
In MimikTrader, go to Connections → Add Connection → Rithmic. Choose your prop firm from the Rithmic system list, then enter the Rithmic username and password your firm issued you. Your accounts and balances appear once the connection authenticates.
Use the credentials your prop firm issued specifically for Rithmic. These are usually not the same as your prop firm dashboard login. Rithmic usernames are case-sensitive, so enter them exactly as issued — a stray space from a copy and paste is the most common reason a login is rejected.
Yes. The same pre-trade risk checks apply to Rithmic accounts exactly as they do to Tradovate accounts — daily loss limits, trailing drawdown with tick-level enforcement, profit-drawdown protection, auto-flatten, weekly limits, and max daily trades.
Yes. You can copy across Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and ProjectX accounts in a single copy group. The leader can be on one platform and the followers on any supported platform — useful if you hold accounts at firms that route differently.
Through Rithmic's R|Protocol API — a direct connection for order routing, fill detection, and position tracking, at the same level as Rithmic's own front-end applications. It is not a screen scraper or a plugin.
No. Rithmic trade copying is entirely cloud-based. No desktop application needs to be running for MimikTrader to detect and copy your trades — everything happens server-to-server.
