Quick Answer
Technically possible, but not fully supported. While you may be able to execute trades from Bookmap and have them copied by Replikanto using ATM strategies, this configuration has significant limitations. The lack of OCO/ATM information from external platforms can lead to improper exit order management, potentially leaving positions unprotected. Use of NinjaTrader's built-in order entry tools is strongly recommended.
Requirements
For this configuration to work at all, the following must be in place:
- Leader account in NinjaTrader: The Bookmap account must be connected to NinjaTrader and configured as the leader account in Replikanto
- Trade visibility: Trades submitted in Bookmap must appear in NinjaTrader for Replikanto to capture them
- Matching ATM strategy: The same ATM strategy (identical name and configuration) must be present in all NinjaTrader instances (leader and followers)
What Works
- Basic trade entry from Bookmap can be captured and copied to follower accounts
- Initial entry orders are replicated across accounts
Key Limitations and Risks
Exit order management (TP/SL) may not function correctly:
- Take Profit and Stop Loss orders will be copied to follower accounts
- However, these exit orders might not work as intended due to missing information
- Risk: An exit order could be canceled without the opposite order being filled, leaving your position unprotected
Missing OCO/ATM information:
- External programs like Bookmap do not always provide sufficient OCO (One Cancels Other) or ATM details to NinjaTrader
- Replikanto requires complete order information to manage exit orders properly in follower accounts
- Missing information can lead to errors or undesired behavior
Order management scope:
- Replikanto is designed to work with orders placed within the NinjaTrader environment
- External order submission may result in incomplete information transfer
Recommendation
Use NinjaTrader's built-in order entry tools when using Replikanto to ensure proper functionality of trade copying and order management. External platform integration (like Bookmap) is not a fully supported scenario and carries risks, particularly for exit order management.
