Replikanto Compliance Mode for prop firms

This article explains what Replikanto Compliance Mode is, which features it removes to satisfy proprietary trading firm (prop firm) rules, what still works, how to get and install it, and the due diligence you must do before using any trade copier with a prop firm account.

Trade with Confidence and Clarity

In the world of proprietary trading firms, performance is everything. But just as important is adhering to the strict rules of compliance and risk management that these firms enforce. Traders need powerful tools to manage multiple accounts efficiently, but they also need to ensure those tools don't violate their firm's terms of service.

That’s why we created Replikanto Compliance Mode.

Developed in close collaboration with proprietary trading firms, this is the official, approved version of Replikanto built specifically for traders who prioritize compliance. It gives you the powerful trade copying capabilities you love, while removing features that could conflict with prop firm rules, ensuring you can trade with complete peace of mind.

Why Was Compliance Mode Created?

Prop firms are vigilant about preventing fraudulent trading activities. Certain software features, like remote trade copying or tools that obscure trading activity, can be flagged as potential vectors for rule violations.

Instead of leaving traders to guess which features are acceptable, we worked directly with compliance teams to build a version of Replikanto that meets their highest standards. The result is a solution that works for everyone: traders get the efficiency of a top-tier trade copier, and firms get the transparency they require.

What's Removed for Compliance (And Why It Matters)

To create a fully compliant tool, we selectively removed features identified as potential red flags by prop firms. This focus on transparency is what makes this version trusted by compliance teams.

• ⛔ Remote & Network Copy: The ability to send or receive trades over the internet or a local network has been removed. This eliminates the primary vector for unauthorized account sharing and group trading schemes that violate prop firm rules.
• ⛔ Negative Ratio for Hedging: The Ratio Copy Method only accepts values from 0 to 100, never negative ones. This prevents complex hedging strategies that are often prohibited by prop firms.
• ⛔ Stealth Mode: This feature has been removed to ensure all trading activity is transparent and auditable, which is a core requirement for most firms.

Right-click the left panel in Compliance Mode: the tab menu has no Network Node Mode (Local Network), Remote Node Mode (Internet), Hide the node list, Refresh Credits or My Replikanto ID, and the window has no Replikanto Nodes section. Stealth Mode is not in Properties either.

What Still Works

• Local copying between your own accounts: as long as the accounts run on your single, local machine, copying between them works normally.
• Cross-firm copying on one machine: accounts from different prop firms connected within the same NinjaTrader instance can copy between each other locally.
• Positive ratios: the Ratio Copy Method still works — it simply refuses the negative values that would create What is counter-position trading and how to avoid it?.

Your Essential Compliance Checklist

Before using Replikanto with any prop firm, it is critical that you perform your own due diligence. Your trading career depends on it.

1. Review Their Terms of Service: Carefully read your prop firm's official rules. Confirm that trade copying software is permitted.
2. Understand Their Policies: Know exactly which copying methods and strategies are approved.
3. Verify Replikanto's Approval: Confirm with the prop firm that Replikanto Compliance Mode is a specifically approved tool.
4. Contact Compliance: When in doubt, always reach out to the prop firm’s compliance or risk team directly for clarification.

Important Note: The misuse of trade copiers or any violation of prop firm policies can lead to severe consequences, including account reset, forfeiture of profits, permanent account closure, and even legal action. FlowBots is not responsible for violations of individual prop firm policies.

Getting and Installing Compliance Mode

Download the right version

1. Download Compliance Mode directly from the product page.
2. There is only one Compliance Mode .zip: starting with Replikanto 1.7.0.0, the same file works on every NinjaTrader 8 version, so you do not need to pick a build for your NinjaTrader version.
3. Import the .zip add-on in NinjaTrader: in the Control Center, go to Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-On..., select the downloaded .zip file and accept all confirmations. Then restart NinjaTrader.

Licensing

No special license is required. If you are an existing Replikanto customer, you can download and use Compliance Mode at no additional charge with your current license. If you are a new customer, simply purchase a standard Replikanto license to get started.

Switching between Compliance Mode and the standard version

• You can install the standard version at any time if you need the remote/network features for trading outside of a prop firm environment. You do not need to uninstall one to install the other.
• You cannot run Regular Mode and Compliance Mode on the same NinjaTrader at the same time — decide which one you want to use with NinjaTrader, then install that one.
• While some settings may migrate from the standard version, we highly recommend configuring your accounts from scratch in Compliance Mode. This ensures every setting aligns perfectly with compliance requirements and gives you a clean start.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I know I'm running the right version?

The main 'Replikanto' window title will clearly display the words ‘Compliance Mode’ so you can be 100% certain you are using the correct, compliant release.

The title bar of the Compliance Mode build: Replikanto by FlowBots - Compliance Mode - 1.7.0.0. The standard version has no Compliance Mode in its title.

Can I still copy trades between all my own accounts?

Yes. As long as the accounts are running on your single, local machine, you can copy trades between them without any issue. The restrictions only apply to remote and network copying.

Can I copy trades across accounts at different prop firms (cross-company copying)?

Yes, as long as all accounts are connected within the same NinjaTrader instance on your local machine. NinjaTrader supports multiple broker connections simultaneously. Connect all your prop firm accounts (e.g., TPT, Apex, ETF) in a single NinjaTrader installation, and Replikanto Compliance Mode can copy trades between them locally. No network features are needed since everything runs on one computer.

Can I copy trades to someone else's account?

Not while Compliance Mode is active — that requires Remote & Network Copy, which Compliance Mode removes. Outside Compliance Mode it is technically possible, but subject to the rules of that account's own broker or prop firm. Either way, every Replikanto installation needs its own license — licenses are personal and can't be shared or transferred between people.

Which prop firms have explicitly approved Replikanto Compliance Mode?

TPT and ETF have explicitly approved the use of Replikanto Compliance Mode. However, we still recommend confirming with any prop firm before use, as policies can change.

My prop firm hasn't mentioned Replikanto. Can I use it?

You must get explicit confirmation from them. Every prop firm has different rules. It is your responsibility to check their official policies or contact their support team to confirm that Replikanto Compliance Mode is approved before you use it.
