Built for Performance.
Designed for Protection.

A professional trade copier requires more than just copying orders. Explore the tools that keep your accounts synchronized and funded.

Core Technology

Cross-Platform Trade Engine

TradeBridge connects NinjaTrader 8 and Quantower on your local machine. Copy trades in any direction with low-latency local processing.

  • 4 copying directions: Copy NT8 to NT8, NT8 to Quantower, Quantower to Quantower, and Quantower to NT8.
  • Bypass Rithmic limitations: NinjaTrader 8 limits you to a single active Rithmic connection. By routing follower accounts to Quantower, you can copy to multiple Rithmic accounts simultaneously without Rithmic API limits.
  • Dynamic bracket tracking: Copy Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) brackets. Modifying, canceling, or filling brackets on your leader updates followers when the platform emits the related order events.
  • External Charting & Execution Platforms (TradingView, Bookmap, Jigsaw, ATAS, MotiveWave):* You can use a preferred charting or execution platform connected to your broker account simultaneously with NinjaTrader 8 or Quantower. TradeBridge can copy those orders once the local gateway platform receives the account/order events from your broker. You do not need to trade inside NT8 or Quantower to copy.
    * This setup requires that your broker or data feed provider allows concurrent sessions to the same account. Fees and availability vary by broker, connection type, and platform license.

Safety & Control

Prop Firm Risk Management

Prop firms have strict rules on daily loss limits and trailing drawdowns. TradeBridge treats safety rules as top priorities, executing checks locally before copying orders.

  • Daily Max Loss: Automatically halt copying when daily realized or open loss limits are breached.
  • Daily Profit Target Lock: Reach your goal, lock it in. Disables copying automatically to prevent overtrading once daily targets are reached.
  • Daily Trailing Drawdown Limit: Set trailing drawdown safety floors based on session-high watermark equity.
  • Min Net Liquidation Floor: Static absolute balance floor protection. If account equity drops below this, the configured Hard Limit Action is triggered locally.
  • Risk Warning Buffer: Define warning buffers in dollars. Triggers Near Limit Actions (e.g. Warn Only) before hard breaches are hit.
  • Max Contract Limit: Hard exposure cap in mini-equivalent contracts (e.g., 1 mini = 1.0, 5 micros = 0.5) to prevent exceeding prop contract size limits.
  • Max Open Positions: Set the maximum number of separate instruments/positions that may be open at the same time.
  • Max Daily Trades: Capping the total number of entry trades allowed per day to prevent revenge trading and overtrading.
  • Time-Lock Session Windows: Restrict new copy entry orders to specific hours (e.g. 09:30 - 16:00 EST). Protective exits are never blocked.
  • Friday Auto-Flatten: Automatically closes open positions and cancels working orders before the weekend close.
  • Economic News Filter: Blocks copying around high-impact news releases using live calendar data, with optional auto-flattening and automatic recovery.
  • 4-Level Risk Action Ladder: Customize warning and breach responses per account: Warn Only → Disable Copying → Cancel Pending Orders → Flatten & Disable.
  • Manual Mismatch Approval: Require manual approval for position mismatches (Sync, Ignore, Flatten), or allow the runtime to attempt configured reconciliation.
  • Emergency Stop Loss Backup: Set fallback stop loss protection based on dollar risk ($) or ticks if copied brackets are delayed.

Smart Size Matching

Copy trades across accounts with different buying power. TradeBridge handles contract conversions automatically.

  • Mini ↔ Micro Conversion: Automatically match standard index sizes to micros (ES to MES, NQ to MNQ, RTY to M2K, YM to MYM).
  • Fee Optimization Engine: Can bundle 10 micro contracts into 1 mini contract when optimization is enabled, which may reduce commissions depending on your broker's fee schedule.
  • Strict Sizing Controls: Turn optimization off when you want copied trades to stay in the mapped micro/mini instrument instead of mixed optimized sizing.
  • Symbol Mapping Grid: Map custom contract codes between platforms or connections to force executions exactly where you want them.
  • Custom Multipliers & Sizing: Proportional ratio-based scaling (e.g. x0.5, x2, x3.5) with automatic flooring and rounding to match broker-allowed sizes.

Analytics & Reporting

Built-in Trading Journal

Review and analyze your copying performance across all accounts dynamically. The Control Center records executions locally to calculate key statistics with no manual input.

  • Advanced Metrics: View Win Rate, Profit Factor, Total Commissions, single Largest Win/Loss, and Long vs Short breakdowns.
  • Performance Distributions: Visual charts showing daily cumulative performance, PnL by Day of Week, PnL by Hour of Day, and PnL by Instrument.
  • Granular Breakdowns: Compare performance by individual account and symbol in structured grids to see exactly which connections are most profitable.
  • Execution History: Full historical trade log listing exact execution date, account, side, price, commissions, and realized PnL.

Speed Verification

Copy Precision & Latency Monitor

Verify copy timing and check fill slippage across your accounts. TradeBridge shows local copy timing plus platform/broker response data when available.

  • Latency & Order Tracker: Separates local copy send/copy delay from broker response and in-book duration, so you can see whether time was spent in the copier, platform, or broker/simulator.
  • Slippage & Price Auditing: Measures fill price differences between leader and follower accounts when execution data is available. Identical fills are not guaranteed in live markets.
  • Execution Synchronization Audit: Detailed log lists order type, side, quantity, ratio, leader price, follower price, slippage points, copy timing, and order state.
  • Quantity Ratio Tracking: Audit whether follower accounts successfully filled 100% of expected contract sizes after multipliers are applied.

Safety & Diagnostics

Emergency Stops & Diagnostics

Protect follower accounts from execution gaps and easily package system logs for troubleshooting.

  • Emergency Protective Stop Loss: If follower positions open without a protective stop loss (or if bracket copying is delayed), TradeBridge automatically places local fallback stops after a brief grace period.
  • Risk or Tick-Based Stops: Calculate emergency stop distances dynamically based on dollar risk limits (e.g. $100 risk limit) or fixed tick counts.
  • Support Diagnostic Bundles: Click "Support Bundle" in the Control Center to package logs, status files, config snapshots, and diagnostic metadata into a single ZIP for support.

Platform Integration

TradeBridge works through the local NinjaTrader 8 Add-On and Quantower receiver strategy. Broker/feed behavior can vary, so always validate new setups in simulation first.

NinjaTrader 8

NinjaTrader 8 supports a wide variety of broker setups. TradeBridge runs inside NinjaTrader as a NinjaScript Add-On and follows the account/order events NinjaTrader exposes:

  • Rithmic: Supported (limit of 1 simultaneous Rithmic connection inside NT8).
  • Tradovate: Supported where NinjaTrader exposes the connected trading account events.
  • dxFeed: Supported where available as a NinjaTrader data/trading feed.
  • Interactive Brokers: Supported through NinjaTrader where account/order events are exposed.
  • Forex Feeds: FOREX.com, City Index, and FXCM can be used through NinjaTrader-supported account connections.
  • Other Feeds: Barchart, IQFeed.
  • Note: Direct CQG connections are not supported inside NinjaTrader 8. Use Quantower if CQG is required.

Quantower

Quantower connects to many brokers and feeds. TradeBridge runs as a Quantower strategy and depends on the connection exposing account, order, and position events:

  • Futures & Prop Firms: Common Rithmic, Tradovate, CQG, dxFeed, ProjectX, and sponsored broker/prop setups where Quantower exposes the required trading events.
  • Crypto Exchanges: Potentially usable through Quantower-supported exchange connections; validate each exchange and symbol mapping before live use.
  • Multi-Connection Support: Multiple simultaneous connections depend on your Quantower license, broker sponsorship, and connection provider.

Supported Prop Firms & Feeds

Common prop firm and brokerage setups often use these feeds. Availability depends on your broker/platform connection and must be tested in simulation:
