Rithmic trade copier for prop firm and brokerage accounts

What CopyFlock does for Rithmic accounts

Rithmic is the order-routing and data network behind many futures prop firms. Traders often hold several Rithmic accounts at once — a few evaluations at one firm, a funded account at another — and want them all to take the same trades. CopyFlock connects to each Rithmic login, watches the lead account for fills and sends matching orders to the followers.

Because CopyFlock connects at the Rithmic level, it does not care which front end placed the lead's order. Trades from R|Trader Pro, NinjaTrader 8 on a Rithmic connection or any other Rithmic-connected platform all appear on the account and are copied.

Rithmic systems known to work

The system is the name you pick from the list when you log in to R|Trader Pro. These are confirmed working with CopyFlock:

• Apex — Apex Trader Funding accounts. See the Apex trade copier page.
• Bulenox
• Earn2Trade
• TheTradingPit
• Tradeify — see the Tradeify trade copier page.
• Rithmic 01 — brokerage accounts on Rithmic's main live system.
• Rithmic Paper Trading — useful for testing a copy setup without risking money.

If your firm uses a different Rithmic system, contact support before you subscribe and we will tell you whether it is supported.

How to connect Rithmic accounts

1. 1

   Step 1: Start the free trial

   Sign up and start the 7-day free trial on 2 accounts. A card is required, and you are not charged if you cancel during the trial.

2. 2

   Step 2: Find your Rithmic credentials

   Your firm emails a Rithmic username and password, and tells you which system to select. They are the same details you enter in R|Trader Pro or NinjaTrader's Rithmic connection.

3. 3

   Step 3: Add the account in CopyFlock

   Choose Add account → Rithmic, enter the username and password, and pick the system. CopyFlock opens one connection for that login.

4. 4

   Step 4: Pick the lead and followers

   Select which account leads and which follow. Followers can be other Rithmic accounts, Tradovate accounts or TopstepX accounts.

5. 5

   Step 5: Set sizing and protection

   Choose a sizing mode per follower, add contract caps, and set account protection thresholds that match each account's drawdown.

6. 6

   Step 6: Start copying

   Turn the followers on and place a small test trade on the lead. Each copied order appears in the copy log.

Copy settings for Rithmic followers

• Six sizing modes: equity-to-equity, contract multiplier, risk multiplier, fixed contracts, fixed risk % and fixed risk $. Every result rounds to whole contracts.
• Caps: minimum and maximum contracts per order, plus per-symbol caps for firms that limit minis and micros differently.
• Symbol aliases: map NQ to MNQ or ES to MES on a follower, each with its own multiplier.
• Copy TP/SL and block trades without TP/SL so followers always carry a stop.
• Account protection: when balance or equity crosses the threshold you set, the follower is flattened and paused.
• Reverse trades, copy delay, whitelist and blacklist for more specialised setups.
• Position resync, pause/resume and close-all for when you need to step in by hand.

Sizing example: fixed risk across Rithmic evaluations

Risk-based sizing works out the number of contracts from the distance between the entry and the lead's stop loss. It suits traders who think in dollars at risk rather than contracts. NQ moves $20 per point per contract.

Limitations and notes

• Credentials, not OAuth. Rithmic does not offer a 'sign in with' flow, so CopyFlock needs your Rithmic username and password. They are sent over an encrypted connection and used only to connect your account to Rithmic for copying.
• Password changes break the connection. If your firm resets your Rithmic password, update it in CopyFlock.
• Session limits are set by Rithmic and your firm. CopyFlock uses one connection per login, but if you also run several other platforms on the same login you may hit a limit.
• Fills are independent. Followers fill at their own prices after the lead fills.
• Futures only, supported systems only. CQG, Quantower and Volumetrica connections are not supported.
• Prop firm rules come first. Confirm your firm allows copy trading between your own accounts. Read what to check in prop firm copy trading rules.
