FAQs

Q-My-Trade is a NinjaTrader 8 AddOn and Strategy that automatically mirrors trades from your signal account to an unlimited number of follower accounts in real time. It supports two operating modes, ROTATE and COPY ALL, and includes per-account win/loss limits, drag-and-drop queue management, and multi-master and sub group architecture for running multiple signal accounts simultaneously.

Yes. Q-My-Trade is designed specifically for prop firm traders. It works with any account connected to NinjaTrader 8, including Apex, Lucid, Take Profit Trader, Topstep, Bulenox, MyFundedFutures, and others. You are responsible for ensuring your use of automation tools complies with your prop firm’s rules.

Yes. Q-My-Trade watches the signal account for order fills, it doesn’t care how those fills were generated. It works with fully automated strategies, semi-automated strategies, and completely manual trading via the NT8 order entry panel.

Yes — 7 days, full functionality, no limitations. You get access to the complete rotation system from day one. No watered-down trial version, no card required to start.

NinjaTrader 8 version 8.0.23 or later. NinjaTrader 8.1.7 or later is recommended for the best experience, including support for multiple playback accounts for testing.

Yes. Use one Master Group per instrument or signal account. Each master operates completely independently with its own account pool, operating mode, and P&L tracking.

In ROTATE mode, one account trades per signal. After each trade closes, the queue advances to the next account in sequence. When all accounts have traded, rotation wraps back to account #1. ROTATE is ideal for funded accounts with consistency rules, where each account needs its own clean trade history.

In COPY ALL mode, every eligible account in the sub-group trades simultaneously on every signal. COPY ALL is ideal for evaluation accounts where you want to maximise the number of passing attempts on each trade.

Yes — each master group can contain unlimited accounts across multiple sub-groups. However, each follower account can only belong to one master group at a time. This is by design: if the same account appeared in two masters simultaneously, both could attempt to open positions at the same time, creating conflicting trades that could violate prop firm rules.

No. This is the most important thing to understand about Q-My-Trade. Win and Loss limits are rotation and copy controls only, they determine when the software stops routing new trades to an account. They do NOT close open positions, do NOT prevent losses beyond configured thresholds, and do NOT interact with your broker or prop firm’s risk system. Always maintain independent risk controls.

Capped accounts reset immediately when you click Reset All in the panel header.

The current trade completes normally. The account is then skipped on the next signal. Limits are checked after each trade closes, not during an open position.

Import the Q-My-Trade zip file into NinjaTrader via Tools → Import NinjaScript Add-On. The package installs both the AddOn (control panel) and Strategy (rotation engine) in a single import. No manual file copying or compilation required.

Yes — open the Q-My-Trade panel from the Tools menu first. Your saved queue configuration loads automatically when the panel opens. The strategy then subscribes to your signal account on the next tick. Opening the panel first ensures everything is configured correctly before trading begins.

In the Q-My-Trade panel, click MANAGE QUEUE, add a Master Group, and select your signal account from the dropdown in the master header. Do not add your signal account to the rotation queue, Q-My-Trade protects this automatically.

Yes. Each master group has a CHART setting that links it to the chart where the Q-My-Trade strategy is loaded. In multi-master setups with different instruments, apply the strategy to a separate chart for each instrument and set the CHART dropdown on each master to match.

It is your responsibility to verify compliance with your prop firm’s specific terms. Some firms restrict or prohibit automated trading tools. Q-My-Trade does not interact with your broker’s risk system and has no knowledge of your firm’s rules. Always verify before live use.

Yes — some difference is normal and expected. Differences arise from execution latency, market slippage at the time of fill, commission structures, and partial fill variations. Q-My-Trade minimises latency by being fully event-driven, but cannot eliminate slippage entirely.
