NINJATRADER TO TRADOVATE TRADE COPIER

 

This is the user guide for 'NinjaTrader to Tradovate' Trade Copier

Quick notes:

1. This copier suite includes two components:

- NinjaTrader trade signal 'indicator' - NTTDVSignals

- Tradovate bridge app

Please note this copier suite does *not* use Tradovate API.  It sends out trading requests to Tradovate server directly from your own machine.

2. This copier can work on futures prop firm demo/practice accounts and also support concurrent copy to multiple Tradovate accounts of different futures prop firms.

3. This copier only supports NinjaTrader position copy.  That means 'no TP/SL' and 'no limit/stop' orders will be copied.  However, when an order gets closed by hitting its TP/SL price, this copier will send out order close action to Tradovate.  When a limit/stop order gets fulfilled, this copier will send out market order entry to Tradovate.  

In fact Tradovate internal group copy feature also only supports position copy without copying TP/SL or limit/stop orders.

4. The copied order id shown on the bridge log window is the response when Tradovate server receives it.  You will need to check its actual execution result at 'Position changed' message.  If no 'position changed' message, that means that order is not fulfilled.
