Initial Steps
In order to solve issues related to the inability to copy trades from the leader account to the followers, the following analysis is required.
- Check if the Replikanto is opened.
- Make sure to turn the Global Simulation Mode off.
- Check if you have selected the Leader account and the Instrument you are trading.
- Check if the instrument you are trading at the leader account has the same expiration date, both must match.
- Check the NinjaTrader Control Center Log tab for these kind of errors:
2025-01-XX XX:XX:XX:XXX|3|32|Order '123456789101112' received for unknown symbol ''
2025-01-XX XX:XX:XX:XXX|2|32|An execution for unknown symbol '' was received. Check your symbol map.
If you are having this errors the NinjaTrader is not being able to recognize the order instrument then Replikanto will not copy the trades, if this is the case please contact support@ninjatrader.com and give then the logs to fix this NinjaTrader issue. - If you are using the TradingView to submit trades on the leader account you also have to make sure that the instrument you are trading has the same expiration date compared with the one selected in the Replikanto window.
- To check that, just place a limit order on the TradingView distant from the price.
- Check the NinjaTrader Orders Tab for the order recently submitted.
- Check the column Instrument then compare with the instrument set on the Replikanto window.
- Make sure both are identical.
- If not, change the Replikanto instrument and try it again.
- During testing you can use the Exact Quantity Replikanto copy method just to make sure the copy are being made.
- Make sure the follower is checked, it needs to be enabled to copy the leader's trades.
- Use Limit Order during tests placed distant from the price, after testing you can cancel the order.
- During tests do not use the Market Only copy for followers.
- Replikanto is not compatible with the new NinjaTrader 8.1.4.0, you need to install the recently released 8.1.4.1 or above.
Replikanto will always copy its leader's trades to followers if the configuration was properly set, but in addition to the tests above to solve the problem we may have some additional situations in which the copy will not take place:
- The follower account disconnected before copying the trade.
- The internet went down while the trade was being received by a remote leader.
- The internet failed at the leader's side when it was sending the trade to a remote follower.
- The trade was rejected on the follower account, due to margin requirements or other issue.
- The Replikanto window is close before the trade is submitted.
These are some of the cases that can happen and that Replikanto will not copy the trades to the follower accounts, please check and try it again.
Extra Steps
Submit a limit order distant from the price on the leader account and send us a screenshot of the Replikanto window as well as the Orders tab in NinjaTrader Control Center windows showing the instrument and account column. With that we will check if the Replikanto has the same instrument and account as the leader account trade.
