MimikTrader is the cloud-native trade copier built for Tradovate. Connect your accounts with secure OAuth, copy trades in real-time via WebSocket, and let our built-in risk management protect every account. No VPS. No desktop app. No API keys to manage.
MimikTrader is built directly on Tradovate's official REST and WebSocket APIs. This is not a screen scraper or a middleware hack — it is a native integration that provides the fastest, most reliable trade copying possible on the Tradovate platform.
Connect your Tradovate accounts through the official OAuth flow. No API keys to manage, no passwords stored. Authorize once and MimikTrader handles token management automatically.
MimikTrader maintains persistent WebSocket connections to Tradovate. Fills are detected the instant they occur — no polling intervals, no latency from periodic checks.
Your Tradovate trade copying runs on MimikTrader's cloud infrastructure. No VPS to rent, no desktop app to keep running, no NinjaTrader dependency. Close your browser and trades still copy.
If a Tradovate WebSocket connection drops, MimikTrader automatically reconnects and resynchronizes positions across all accounts. No manual intervention needed.
All Tradovate OAuth tokens are encrypted with AES-256 at rest. Your credentials never leave the vault in plain text. Full audit logging tracks every access.
Monitor all your Tradovate accounts from any browser — desktop, tablet, or mobile. See real-time positions, P&L, and risk status across every connected account.
Desktop-based Tradovate trade copiers require you to keep a computer or VPS running around the clock. That means paying for hosting, managing restarts, and dealing with connectivity issues. MimikTrader eliminates all of that.

Sign up for MimikTrader and create your workspace. Choose the plan that matches the number of accounts you need.
Click Connect Account and sign into Tradovate through the secure OAuth flow. Your credentials are never stored — only encrypted tokens.
Select your leader account and assign Tradovate followers. Set lot multipliers and risk rules for each account independently.
Trade on your leader account and watch orders replicate to every follower in real-time. Risk rules protect each account on every tick.
If your prop firm uses Tradovate for order routing, MimikTrader can copy trades to and from that account. Connect evaluations, funded accounts, and personal accounts in any combination.
MimikTrader uses Tradovate's official OAuth 2.0 authentication flow. You authorize MimikTrader to access your Tradovate accounts through a secure login — similar to signing into a website with Google. Your Tradovate username and password are never stored by MimikTrader.
No. MimikTrader handles the entire Tradovate API integration for you. The OAuth flow generates secure access tokens that are encrypted with AES-256 in our credential vault. There are no API keys to copy, paste, or rotate manually.
MimikTrader uses persistent WebSocket connections to Tradovate's servers. When your leader account receives a fill, the event is detected in real-time and follower orders are placed within milliseconds. There is no polling interval — detection is instantaneous.
All of them. Any prop firm that uses Tradovate as their trading platform is compatible with MimikTrader, including Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, Tradeify, MyFundedFutures, Bulenox, Take Profit Trader, and Elite Trader Funding.
No. MimikTrader is entirely cloud-based. Your Tradovate trade copying runs on our servers continuously. You do not need a VPS, a desktop application, or NinjaTrader running in the background. Close your laptop and your trades still copy.
Yes. MimikTrader supports both Tradovate live and demo environments. You can have a demo account as your leader and live accounts as followers, or any combination. Each account connects independently with its own credentials.
MimikTrader automatically detects connection drops and reconnects to Tradovate's servers. After reconnection, the system resynchronizes positions to ensure all accounts are aligned. This process is automatic — no manual intervention required.
Yes. When your leader places a bracket order with stop loss and take profit (OCO), MimikTrader replicates the complete bracket structure to every follower account on Tradovate. Both protective orders are placed as a linked OCO pair.
Currently, MimikTrader supports Tradovate as the primary broker integration. Rithmic and additional brokers are on the development roadmap, which will enable cross-broker trade copying in a future release.
Sign up for MimikTrader, click Connect Account, and authorize your Tradovate accounts through the OAuth flow. Then create a copy group, assign your leader and followers, configure risk rules, and you are live. The entire setup takes less than five minutes.
