What's new in Replikanto 1.7.2.0 – FlowBots Knowledge Center

This article answers "what's new in Replikanto 1.7.2.0?" and "should I update?". It summarizes the changes of 1.7.2.0: three new features (hidden follower accounts, selecting several followers at once and Flatten confirmations you can turn back on), seven improvements and eleven fixes, most of them about closing and re-arming followers, about the look of the followers list and about ATM Copy.

At a glance

Version: 1.7.2.0, released on November 10, 2026. It follows 1.7.1.0 (October 13, 2026).
New: you can hide a follower account from the follower list of every Replikanto tab, for example a liquidated prop firm account that stays connected.
New: select several followers with Ctrl+click or Shift+click, then turn them On or Off, flatten them, hide them, or add them to or remove them from a group with one right-click.
New: a Flatten All or group Flatten question hidden with Don't show this message again can be turned back on in Properties > General.
Flatten buttons: a row's Flatten (X) re-arms a Disarmed follower only once it reads flat, and a group's Flatten no longer closes accounts that are Off.
Tradovate followers: a copied Close or Flatten All waits longer for Tradovate's position update, and Flatten All re-arms a Disarmed follower once its close has filled.
Tradovate leaders with a simulated stop: when the leader's simulated stop fills, each ATM Copy follower keeps its own stop instead of having it moved to 0.
NinjaTrader 8.1.9: on NinjaTrader 8.1.9 or later (8.1.9 was released on November 10, 2026), Replikanto no longer re-reads a Rithmic follower's position before closing it, because NinjaTrader fixed the lost Rithmic position updates itself.
Followers list: the Position column shows the side as a green or red pill and replaces the Side column, the Orders column shows an E/TP/SL tag, the Connection column has a status dot, editable cells look like input fields and most items have a tooltip.
How to get it: if you run 1.7.0.0 or later, click Update now when the update notification appears. If you run 1.6.1.7 or older, install the latest version manually one time from your FlowBots account downloads page.

New feature: hidden follower accounts

Right-click a follower in the Follower Accounts list and choose Hide account. The account is turned Off and leaves the follower list of every Replikanto tab on this computer. To bring it back, click the Hidden (N) link at the top of the follower list, or right-click the list and open Hidden accounts (N); it always comes back Off.

Hiding is refused while the account is on and still in a trade on that tab. An Off account can always be hidden.
A hidden account is left out of group headers, the Rearm buttons, Flatten All's re-arm and Export.
The hidden list is one list per computer, saved in Documents\NinjaTrader 8\Replikanto\Replikanto_hidden_followers.json.

Full details: Hide a follower account in Replikanto.

New feature: select several followers at once

Ctrl+click or Shift+click rows in the Follower Accounts list, then right-click one of the selected rows. The menu then acts on every selected follower; group headers are left out. A right-click on a row outside the selection acts only on that row.

Turn On N accounts, Turn Off N accounts and Flatten N accounts appear at the top of the menu and follow the same rules as a group header's status dot and Flatten. Turn On arms only the accounts that are Off and never re-arms a Disarmed one (use Rearm). Turn Off includes Disarmed and Out of Sync accounts.
Flatten closes the position and cancels the working orders of the selected accounts that are On, Out of Sync or Disarmed, on the leader's instrument (or each account's Cross Order instrument). Off accounts, the leader and the accounts not selected are not affected. Its question follows Ask before a group's Flatten in Properties > General.
Hide N accounts hides them all, except the ones still in a trade on that tab, which are named together in one message.
Add to group and Remove from group move them all at once, and New group... opens with them already checked.

New feature: Flatten confirmations you can turn back on

Flatten All and a group's Flatten ask a Yes/No question before they close anything. Starting with Replikanto 1.7.2.0, if you tick NinjaTrader's Don't show this message again on that question and click Yes, Replikanto turns off Ask before Flatten All (or Ask before a group's Flatten) in Properties > General, and later clicks flatten without asking. To get the question back, tick that option again in Properties > General.

Each option is one setting for the whole computer: it applies to every Replikanto tab and workspace and takes effect at once. The two options are independent of each other.
Only Yes with the box ticked turns an option off. No, or closing the question with its X, changes nothing.
A question you had already hidden in NinjaTrader before updating stays hidden: the first time 1.7.2.0 runs on the computer, it reads that choice once, turns the matching option off and writes Info [1141] to the Log. Editing NinjaTrader's UI.xml after that changes nothing; use the options instead.
With an option off, the click flattens straight away and no box appears, not even Windows' own Yes/No box.

Full details: Why doesn't the "Flatten All" button work? and Flatten or Rearm a whole follower group. The Properties guide lists both options too: Is there a guide to Replikanto's Properties settings?

Improvements

Rithmic on NinjaTrader 8.1.9 or later. NinjaTrader 8.1.9 fixed the dropped Rithmic position updates that Replikanto's position re-read works around, so Replikanto 1.7.2.0 does not start that re-read there: a copied Close, Flatten All or a row's Flatten on a Rithmic follower no longer waits for a round trip to Rithmic. The property Refresh a Rithmic account's position before acting on it has no effect on 8.1.9 or later, where it is greyed out (read-only). Its saved value is kept, so on 8.1.8 or earlier it works as before.
Fewer false Warning [1121]. The Log warning that NinjaTrader's Flatten of a follower sent no close now checks again 20 seconds after the Flatten and only fires if the position is still open, so a slow Tradovate close no longer raises it. A flatten that closed late writes Info [1136] instead.
Editable cells look like input fields. The cells you can type in, Ratio, Pct. Change and Pre Allocation in the followers list (also on a group header) and IP, Port, Replikanto ID and Description in the node lists, now look like input fields, so it is clear which ones can be edited. They work as before.
Status dot in the Connection column. The Connection column of the followers list (hidden by default: right-click the list > Columns > Connection) now shows a dot before the connection's name. It is green when the account is connected. Amber or grey shows only for a moment, while the account connects or drops: a follower's row leaves the list when its account disconnects.
Position shows the side. The Position column now shows a follower's position as a pill: green with an up arrow when long, red with a down arrow when short, with the number of contracts. It is empty when the follower is flat or Off, and hovering over it reads, for example, Long 2. It replaces the Side column of Replikanto 1.7.1.0 or earlier. On a group header whose accounts are long and short, Position shows a neutral pill with ± and the combined size. If you showed Side but hid Position, see "Before you update" below.
E/TP/SL tag in the Orders column. The Orders column now shows a follower's working orders as one tag: E for entries, TP for profit targets and SL for stop losses, each with its number of contracts, for example E:2 TP:4 SL:4. A part with nothing working is left out, and hovering over the tag shows each count in words. As before, the numbers are contracts in working orders, not a count of orders.
Tooltips, and the right-click menus in Portuguese. Most buttons, columns and menu items of the Replikanto tab now have a tooltip that explains them. With NinjaTrader in Portuguese, the last right-click menu items that still showed in English are now translated: Show account numbers, Import..., Export... and Columns in the followers list, and Hide in the node lists.

Fixes

ATM Copy follower stops moved to 0 by a Tradovate simulated stop. When a Tradovate leader's simulated stop filled, the leader's order then showed a stop price of 0, and Replikanto copied that change to the followers: each ATM Copy follower's stop moved to 0, where it could never trigger, and the follower stayed in the trade after the leader was out. Replikanto no longer copies that change (Info [1139]): each follower keeps its own stop, and its own ATM closes the position at that price. A follower whose stop is a tick or two further away stays in the trade until the market reaches it, and may show yellow meanwhile. With followers on another computer, this must be applied to both the leader and the remote followers.
Tradovate close sized on an old position. When Tradovate took more than 5 seconds to update a follower's position after a fill, a copied Close or Flatten All could close the wrong quantity and leave the follower reversed or with a remainder. A Tradovate follower now waits up to 15 seconds; copies on that tab wait behind it.
Flatten All left followers Disarmed. Flatten All checked a Disarmed follower only about a second after the click, so a follower whose position update arrived late (common on Tradovate) stayed Disarmed with Warning [1073]. It is now re-armed once its close fills, unless the leader already holds a new position (Info [1135]).
A row's Flatten re-armed a follower that still held a position. A Disarmed follower's own Flatten (X) button re-armed it about 2 seconds after the click without checking its position, so a follower whose close had not filled yet could be On again while still in the trade. It is now re-armed only once it reads flat. If it still shows a position about 15 seconds later, or its position cannot be read, it stays Disarmed with Warning [1140]: check the account, then re-arm it from its row or with Rearm. Unlike Flatten All, the row's Flatten does not look at the leader's position.
Flatten buttons acted on accounts that are Off. A group's Flatten also closed the group's accounts that were Off, and an account's own Flatten (X) button stayed clickable after the account was turned Off if it had been clicked before. Both now leave Off accounts alone, like Flatten All: a group's Flatten closes only the accounts that are On, Out of Sync or Disarmed, and its button is greyed out when every account of the group is Off.
Flatten All or a group Flatten did nothing. When NinjaTrader's confirmation window could not open, the click was lost. Replikanto now asks with Windows' own Yes/No box (Warning [1132]), as long as that question is not turned off in Properties.
ATM Copy entry left without a stop or target. When the follower's ATM Copy strategy failed to start and NinjaTrader submitted the entry later, it stayed live with no protection. Replikanto now watches that entry while the tab is open and cancels it.
False Error [1079]. Error [1079] said a follower's ATM Copy position was never protected when working stops from the follower's next trade already covered it. That case is now Info [1137], and a position still unprotected is checked again 30 seconds later ([1138]).
Rithmic re-read switched off after a reconnection. On NinjaTrader 8.1.8 or earlier, a re-read that ran while a Rithmic connection was reconnecting could switch the mechanism off (Warning [1101]). Now that moment only fails that one re-read.
Sorting by Position or Orders. Sorting the followers list by Position or Orders compared the text, which put 10 before 2. Position now sorts by number, shorts first and longs last, and Orders by the total number of contracts in its tag.
Copy loop between tabs. In a rare case, an account that is the leader of another tab could stay on as a follower when the warning about it could not be shown.

Before you update

Your workspaces, follower settings and groups are kept.
Side column: the Side column is gone, and the Position pill now shows the side. If a workspace showed Side but hid Position, turn Position back on: right-click the followers list > Columns > Position.
Hidden Flatten questions: a Flatten All or group Flatten question you hid in NinjaTrader with Don't show this message again before updating stays hidden after the update. To get it back, tick Ask before Flatten All or Ask before a group's Flatten in Properties > General.
Hidden accounts are new in 1.7.2.0. If you later go back to an older version, hidden accounts appear again in the follower list, with the status their workspace saved (a workspace saved after hiding saved them Off).
