Yes, there is information available about the Replikanto properties settings, though there isn't one single page that lists all of them. Instead, the information is spread across different blog posts and knowledge base articles that dive into each property in detail.
The Replikanto Properties menu is where you configure how the copy trading software behaves - from controlling which orders get copied to managing how follower accounts are protected. Below you'll find a guide to the key properties and where to learn more about each one.
Key Properties and Their Features
Market Only
Use this setting when: You want to copy only market order executions to a follower account, ignoring limit orders and other order types. Market Only is not in the Properties window: it is set per follower account. Click the Market Only cell (the diamond) on a follower's row in the Follower Accounts grid to turn it on or off for that account.
This feature, introduced in Replikanto version 1.6.0, allows you to filter which order types get copied to your followers. When enabled, only market order executions are copied, and the ATM copy column is disabled. This is useful when you want to focus on immediate fills rather than pending orders.

Stealth Mode
What it does: Stealth Mode reduces Replikanto-specific identifiers in order metadata, including order names and OCO labels. It is an option for advanced users, off by default, in the General group (Stealth Mode (for advanced users only)), set per tab. Which orders are copied, their quantities and their prices are the same with it on or off.
With Stealth Mode on, Replikanto keeps the link between each leader order and its follower copies itself instead of writing it into the orders. When you close the Replikanto window or NinjaTrader while the tab's followers have working orders, Replikanto saves the links and reads them back when you reopen the same saved workspace; they are lost if NinjaTrader closes unexpectedly or you open a new Replikanto window instead. The option cannot be changed while the tab's followers have working orders. You remain responsible for complying with all applicable broker, platform and prop firm rules and account agreements.

Follower Guard
Use this property when: You want to protect follower accounts by automatically detecting when they're out of sync with the leader.
Follower Guard is designed to protect your follower accounts when they fall out of sync with the leader account or when their orders fail. The configuration options include:
- Flatten the follower if it becomes out of sync with the leader, after a number of seconds you set
- Flatten the follower if its position is in the opposite direction, after a number of seconds you set
- Flatten the follower if one of its orders fails (rejected, unable to submit, change or cancellation error, unspecified error), after a number of seconds you set
- Cancel the follower entry order if it is not filled within a number of seconds you set after the leader's order fills
- Disarm Followers: the follower is disarmed after any of these actions. Replikanto then shows a message window and, if you entered an e-mail address, sends an e-mail alert
You can access the Follower Guard configuration in the Replikanto Properties menu.

Remote Leader Filter
Use this property when: You're receiving trades from multiple remote Replikanto instances and need to filter which ones to copy.
This feature allows you to filter trades from remote leaders by Replikanto ID or account name. It's configured in the Replikanto Properties under the "Remote Leader Filter" section and is particularly useful when multiple Replikanto instances are submitting trades remotely and you only want to copy specific ones.

ScalperTicket Integration
Use this property when: You use the ScalperTicket add-on alongside Replikanto and want them to work together seamlessly.
This integration enables features shared between Replikanto and ScalperTicket:
- The Flatten All button from Replikanto becomes available in ScalperTicket
- Buttons using BID and ASK work across all accounts - both leaders and followers
- Trades executed at Bid/Ask prices can now be transferred to follower accounts

Lock follower settings while in a trade
Use this property when: A follower row stays locked although the follower account has no open position and no working order, and you need to keep working while support looks at it.
Available since Replikanto 1.7.0.0, in the General group, on by default, set per tab and saved with the workspace. While it is on, a follower's Cross Order, ATM Copy, Market Only, Ratio, Pre Allocation and % cannot be changed while that follower has an open position or a working order, and the tab's leader account, instrument and copy Method cannot be changed while any follower on the tab is in a trade or the leader account holds a position. Turning a follower on or off, Flatten, Flatten All and Disarm/Rearm are never locked. We recommend leaving it on.

Refresh a Rithmic account's position before acting on it
Use this property when: You copy to or from Rithmic-connected accounts. Leave it on.
Available since Replikanto 1.7.0.0, in the General group, on by default. When a fill on a Rithmic account is not followed by a position update from the broker, Replikanto re-reads the real position from the broker before Follower Guard decides and before a follower is flattened, so a stale position does not trigger the wrong action. No order is sent to do this. This property applies to every Replikanto tab, not just the one where you change it, and is saved with the workspace. It has no effect on NinjaTrader 8.1.9 or later, which fixed at the source the lost Rithmic position updates this works around: starting with Replikanto 1.7.2.0, the re-read is not started there. Starting with Replikanto 1.7.2.0, the option is also greyed out (read-only) on NinjaTrader 8.1.9 or later. Its saved value is kept, so it applies again if you go back to NinjaTrader 8.1.8 or earlier.

Followers PnL total
Use this property when: You want to show or hide the Followers PnL: total at the top right of the Follower Accounts grid.
Available since Replikanto 1.7.0.0, in the General group, on by default and set per tab. The total is the sum of the PnL column of every follower row that is not Off (Disarmed rows included): unrealized PnL of the open position on this tab's instrument only, local followers only, with no currency conversion. It is not your accounts' total or daily PnL, and it is hidden when no follower has an open position.

Group followers by connection
Use this property when: You copy to accounts on several broker connections and want the Follower Accounts list under one header per connection.
Available since Replikanto 1.7.1.0, in the General group, off by default, set per tab and saved with the workspace. It is the same switch as the Group followers by connection item in the right-click menu of the Follower Accounts grid. Each group header shows the connection name and the number of accounts, summarizes the group and lets you act on all of its accounts with one click. An account that you added to a custom follower group is listed under that group, not under its connection. Turning the property off removes the connection headers and keeps your custom groups. Groups only organize the list: they do not change how trades are copied. See the article Follower groups in Replikanto: by connection or custom.
Properties > General: 1 = Group followers by connection, shown here turned on (it is off by default).
Ask before Flatten All and Ask before a group's Flatten
Use these properties when: Flatten All or a follower group's Flatten flattens without asking and you want the Yes/No question back, or you want to turn that question off.
Available since Replikanto 1.7.2.0, in the General group, both on by default:
- Ask before Flatten All: "Shows a Yes/No question before Flatten All closes the positions. Ticking "Don't show this message again" on that question turns this off; turn it back on here. Applies to every Replikanto tab and workspace on this computer."
-
Ask before a group's Flatten: "Shows a Yes/No question before the X on a follower group's header flattens that group. Ticking "Don't show this message again" on that question turns this off; turn it back on here. Applies to every group, Replikanto tab and workspace on this computer."
It also covers Flatten N accounts, the followers menu item that flattens several selected follower rows (Ctrl+click or Shift+click the rows, then right-click one of them).
Each option holds one value per computer, for every Replikanto tab and workspace, and is not saved with the workspace; a change takes effect at once. An option is turned off when you tick Don't show this message again on its question and click Yes, or when you untick it here. A question you had already hidden in NinjaTrader before updating to 1.7.2.0 comes in off: tick the option to get it back. The two options are independent of each other.
