More than copying trades
Running multiple manual trades or automated strategies? Hedge Guard checks for opposing exposure across accounts matched to the same prop firm and blocks conflicting copied entries in configured correlated instruments. If one account is short NQ, for example, it can prevent another from copying a long ES position. It checks accounts connected to this NinjaTrader installation. Confirm each account’s firm match — unmatched accounts are not checked.
You do not have to close the primary trade and start fresh. Use Sync on Enable when turning the copier on late, or Join to add eligible accounts while it is running. Bring those accounts into the open trade at the current market price — not the primary account’s original fill — subject to account limits and Hedge Guard checks.
Scale out one contract from a selected copied position without reducing the primary account’s position. Or flatten an entire copied account while the primary account and other copied accounts continue trading. Once that account is flat and paused, it automatically becomes ready to copy again when the primary account next becomes fully flat, subject to its enabled status and account limits. You can also resume it manually.
How it works
Connect your trading accounts in NinjaTrader, then select the account whose activity you want to copy.
Choose the accounts to copy into, configure their quantity multipliers, and select mini or micro contracts where supported.
Enable copying and manage your primary account as usual. Monitor account status, positions, and limits in the CarbonCopy workspace.
Built for multiple accounts
Set quantity multipliers per account so each account can use the sizing you choose.
Use supported mini/micro instrument pairs, such as ES/MES and NQ/MNQ. Configure quantities separately to suit your intended exposure.
Use position-based market copying or mirror working orders, with per-account mode controls.
Configure loss, profit, and trailing limits, and monitor account status from the same workspace.
Keep account configurations in profiles so you can return to your preferred setup.
Select which accounts take trades, monitor copying status, and use account-level flatten and pause controls when needed.

Before you get started
No. CarbonCopy is a separate NinjaTrader 8 add-on. An EdgeMax subscription is not required.
Your primary account and the accounts receiving copied trades must be connected within the same NinjaTrader 8 installation on Windows. Keep NinjaTrader running and the required account connections active while copying.
CarbonCopy copies trading activity from the account you select. That account can be traded manually or by a NinjaTrader strategy. Test your particular trading workflow in simulation before using live accounts.
You can configure connected accounts individually. Check your firm’s current rules and permissions for trade copying, account ownership, and position sizing before using it.
No. Each account sends its own orders. Prices, timing, rejections, and connectivity can differ between accounts. Monitor your accounts and test your setup in simulation first.
Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. Trade copying does not guarantee identical fills, profits, compliance with a firm’s rules, or protection from losses. Account limits depend on running software, connectivity, and order execution.
