Tradovate to Rithmic trade copier

CopyFlock copies futures trades from a Tradovate lead account to Rithmic follower accounts in real time. Every entry, exit, stop and target that fills on the lead is sent to each Rithmic follower with the sizing, symbol and protection rules you set for it.

Each account connects to CopyFlock on its own, so the lead and followers do not need to share a platform, a firm or a computer. Copying runs on our servers — no VPS, no platform add-on and no PC left running.

How copying from Tradovate to Rithmic works

A common setup: a personal or My Funded Futures account on Tradovate that you trade every day, plus evaluations at Apex, Bulenox or Earn2Trade that only offer Rithmic. Copying lets the Rithmic accounts take the same trades at their own size without a second order ticket.

The Tradovate lead

The Tradovate lead connects through Tradovate's OAuth sign-in. Trade it from the Tradovate web, desktop or mobile app, from TradingView or from any tool that routes orders to the account — CopyFlock copies what fills on the account, so the front end does not matter.

The Rithmic followers

Rithmic followers connect with username, password and system — Apex, Bulenox, Earn2Trade, TheTradingPit, Tradeify, Rithmic 01 or Rithmic Paper Trading. Followers under one Rithmic login share a single connection, and if the firm resets the password you update it in CopyFlock.

How to copy trades from Tradovate to Rithmic

  1. Step 1: Start a free trial

    Create a CopyFlock account and start the 7-day free trial on 2 accounts — one Tradovate lead and one Rithmic follower. A card is required; cancel during the trial and you pay nothing.

  2. Step 2: Connect the Tradovate lead

    Choose Add account → Tradovate and sign in on Tradovate's page with the login that owns the lead account. CopyFlock never sees your password.

  3. Step 3: Connect the Rithmic followers

    Choose Add account → Rithmic and enter the username, password and system for each Rithmic login that holds a follower account.

  4. Step 4: Create the copy

    Pick the Tradovate account as the lead and the Rithmic accounts as followers. Choose a sizing mode for each follower: contract multiplier 1 for the same size, equity ratio for accounts of different sizes, or fixed contracts.

  5. Step 5: Add caps and protection

    Set a maximum contract cap and balance or equity thresholds that fit each Rithmic account's rules. Reaching a threshold flattens and pauses that follower.

  6. Step 6: Test with one contract

    Place a one-contract trade on the Tradovate lead and confirm each follower's order in the copy log. During the trial, followers copy a fixed 1 contract.

Sizing example: Tradovate lead, Rithmic followers

Lead (Tradovate, 50K) buys 2 NQ with a stop 15 points away
Apex 100K on Rithmic — equity ratio, max 4
100 ÷ 50 × 2 = 4 NQ
Bulenox 50K on Rithmic — fixed risk $300
$300 ÷ (15 × $20) = 1 NQ
Earn2Trade 50K on Rithmic — alias NQ→MNQ ×5
2 × 5 = 10 MNQ

Fixed risk needs a stop on the lead order to size the follower, so turn on 'block trades without TP/SL' on that follower.

Things to know before copying Tradovate to Rithmic

  • Followers fill after the lead. Each follower order is sent once the lead's fill is reported, so follower prices can differ slightly, especially with market orders in fast markets.
  • Manual changes stay manual. If you close a follower by hand, it stays closed and joins in again with the lead's next trade.
  • Symbols copy as they are. A Rithmic follower trades the lead's contract unless you add a symbol alias, for example NQ to MNQ.
  • Futures only. CQG, Quantower and Volumetrica connections are not supported.
  • Prop firm rules come first. Check that every firm involved allows copying between your own accounts — see prop firm copy trading rules.

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? Read the full FAQ or email support.

Can I copy trades from Tradovate to Rithmic in real time?

Yes. CopyFlock sends each Rithmic follower its order as soon as the Tradovate lead's fill is reported. Followers fill a moment later than the lead and may get a slightly different price.

Does Tradovate need to stay open for trades to copy?

No. CopyFlock connects to the Tradovate account from the cloud. Open Tradovate or TradingView only when you want to place trades on the lead.

Can one Tradovate lead copy to accounts at several Rithmic firms?

Yes. Add each Rithmic login with its own system — Apex, Bulenox, Earn2Trade and so on — and pick any of their accounts as followers of the same Tradovate lead.

Can I copy from Rithmic to Tradovate as well?

Yes. Copying works in any direction between Tradovate, NinjaTrader accounts, Rithmic and TopstepX. See the Rithmic to Tradovate trade copier page.
