Can I copy between prop firms on Rithmic and CQG?

Yes, FlowBots software, specifically Replikanto, can copy trade accounts from different prop firms using Rithmic and CQG data feeds. Replikanto copies trades between all accounts connected in NinjaTrader, as long as your prop firms are compatible with NinjaTrader and can connect to it.

How It Works

Replikanto operates at the NinjaTrader platform level, not at the data feed level. This means it can copy trades between any accounts that are connected to the same NinjaTrader instance, regardless of which data feed (Rithmic, CQG, or others) each account uses.

Multi-Provider Mode Requirements

To connect accounts from different prop firms using different data feeds to the same NinjaTrader installation, you may need to enable NinjaTrader's Multi-Provider Mode. This allows NinjaTrader to maintain multiple simultaneous connections to different data feeds and brokers.

To Enable Multi-Provider Mode:

1. Open NinjaTrader
2. In the NinjaTrader Control Center, go to Tools > Options
3. In the General section, check the box next to Multi-provider, then click OK
4. Restart NinjaTrader for changes to take effect

Account Connection Requirements

For successful trade copying between prop firm accounts:

• NinjaTrader Compatibility: Both prop firm accounts must be supported by NinjaTrader
• Account Connection: Each account must be properly connected to NinjaTrader with valid credentials
• Data Feed Access: Each account must have access to its required data feed (Rithmic, CQG, etc.)
• Same NinjaTrader Instance: All accounts must be connected to the same NinjaTrader installation

Use Cases

This setup is commonly used by traders who:

• Trade with multiple proprietary trading firms simultaneously
• Copy trades from a leader account to multiple challenge/funded accounts
• Manage accounts across different prop firms with varying data feed requirements
• Need to diversify across multiple prop firm accounts while maintaining identical positions

Important Notes

• Test First: It is recommended to utilize the 7-day trial period to ensure the software is suitable for your specific needs before committing to a purchase
• Latency Considerations: Trade copying speed depends on your internet connection and NinjaTrader performance
• Account Rules: Always ensure your trading activity complies with each prop firm's individual rules and restrictions
• Market Data: Each account must have appropriate market data subscriptions for the instruments you trade

Troubleshooting

If trades are not copying between accounts:

• Verify Multi-Provider Mode is enabled in NinjaTrader options
• Confirm all accounts are logged in and connected in NinjaTrader Control Center
• Check that Replikanto is properly configured with the correct leader and follower accounts
• Ensure each account has valid market data for the instruments being traded
• Restart NinjaTrader after making configuration changes
