NINJATRADER → TRADELOCKER
How does NinjaTrader-to-TradeLocker copying work?
Copygram uses trades from your connected NinjaTrader source to place corresponding orders on a selected TradeLocker receiver. The copying room applies that receiver’s symbol mapping, lot sizing and trade-management rules. Each account keeps its own balance and positions.
NinjaTrader is your source
Choose the account you trade. Its account activity supplies the trades for your copying room.
Copygram connects the workflow
The room links one source to your selected receivers and applies each account’s copying rules.
TradeLocker is your receiver
Connect with your trading email, password and server, then select the TradeLocker account that will receive trades.

QUICK START
How to copy NinjaTrader trades to TradeLocker
Connect both accounts, create a room and configure the TradeLocker receiver in five steps.
In Copygram, add a trading account and select NinjaTrader. Enter your NinjaTrader username and password; the Device ID is generated automatically. The documented connection uses the official Tradovate API. Select the account you want to copy from.
Select TradeLocker and enter the trading Email, Password and Server supplied by your broker or prop firm. Copygram displays the available accounts after connection. Use Account Selection to choose your receiver.
Set NinjaTrader as the room’s source and add TradeLocker as a receiver. Give the room and accounts clear names. One room connects one source to one or more receivers, each with independent settings.
Map the exact futures contract to your TradeLocker instrument. Set receiver lots, Symbol Lot Exceptions, filters, schedules, stops and targets. Choose Copy Close Orders and Copy Modif Orders behavior for your workflow.
Activate the room to start copying. Follow your NinjaTrader source activity, Copygram signal log and TradeLocker orders. Manage demo and live accounts with a clear view of the receiving instrument, lot size and trade updates.
TRADELOCKER CONNECTION
Connect your TradeLocker server and receiving account
Use your provider-issued trading credentials, then select the account that belongs in your copying room.
Trading email & password
Use the email and trading password supplied for your broker or prop account. Keep these credentials together with its server details.
Your provider’s server
Enter the exact Server name supplied by your broker or prop firm. The server identifies the trading environment for your account.
Select your receiver
Copygram displays the available accounts after you connect. Select the account you want to automate, then add it as the room’s receiver.
For this connection, use the trading credentials for your provider account. TradeLocker Profile sign-in with Google or Apple is a separate login.
FUTURES TO CFD MAPPING
Map NQ or MNQ futures to your TradeLocker instrument
Map the exact dated Nasdaq-100 futures contract on NinjaTrader to the Nasdaq-100 instrument in your selected TradeLocker account. Use your provider’s destination symbol.
Source contract
Use the full NQ or MNQ contract identifier and expiry reported by your NinjaTrader connection.
Destination instrument
Select your provider’s exact Nasdaq-100 CFD symbol. US100 and NAS100 are examples; include the account’s prefix or suffix.
Receiver configuration
Set TradeLocker lots independently from the source contract count. Configure stops and targets using the destination instrument’s prices.
Symbol mapping selects the instrument; receiver sizing defines the order volume. NQ and MNQ have different contract values, and the TradeLocker instrument has its own specification. Update the source contract mapping when you move to a new futures expiry.
INDEPENDENT RECEIVER SIZING
Set TradeLocker lot sizes independently from futures contracts
Use the source contract value and your destination instrument’s specifications to configure each receiver.
NinjaTrader source specification
MNQ $2 · NQ $20 / point
CME specifies $2 per index point for one Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 contract and $20 per point for one E-mini Nasdaq-100 contract. These values describe the source contracts.
TradeLocker receiver configuration
Set your receiver lots
Set lots using your TradeLocker instrument’s value per point, minimum volume, lot step and account currency. Every receiver has its own sizing settings.
A futures contract count and a TradeLocker lot size use different instrument specifications. Symbol mapping does not set an equivalent position size. Configure destination volume separately and review Symbol Lot Exceptions: a symbol-specific exception overrides default money management. Each receiver can use its own lot size.

FAQ
NinjaTrader to TradeLocker FAQs
Answers about trading credentials, server and account selection, Nasdaq futures mapping and TradeLocker receiver settings.
Can I copy NinjaTrader trades to TradeLocker?
Yes. Copygram connects NinjaTrader as the source and TradeLocker as the receiver. Add both accounts, select the receiving trading account, create a room and configure symbol mapping, lot sizing and trade-management settings. Activate the room to start copying.
What is a NinjaTrader to TradeLocker trade copier?
It uses activity on your connected NinjaTrader account to create orders on a selected TradeLocker receiver. Copygram manages the direction and receiver rules in a room. The accounts keep their own balances and positions; copying does not transfer funds between them.
How do I connect NinjaTrader as the source?
Select NinjaTrader when adding a trading account in Copygram. Enter your NinjaTrader username and password; the Device ID is generated automatically. The documented connection uses the official Tradovate API. Choose the account whose trades you want to copy.
What details do I need for the TradeLocker receiver?
Copygram’s TradeLocker connection uses Email, Password, Server and Account Selection. Enter the trading credentials and server supplied by your broker or prop firm. Copygram displays your available accounts; select the intended receiver and add it to your room.
Which TradeLocker server and account should I select?
Enter the exact server name supplied with your broker or prop firm’s trading credentials. After connection, select the TradeLocker account that should receive trades. Use the provider account’s trading email and password for this connection; TradeLocker Profile sign-in with Google or Apple is separate.
Can I use demo and live accounts?
Yes. Copygram supports demo and live accounts. Connect your NinjaTrader source and TradeLocker receiving account, configure the receiver’s symbols, lot sizes and trade-management settings, then activate your room.
How do I map NinjaTrader NQ or MNQ futures to TradeLocker?
Map the exact NinjaTrader NQ or MNQ contract identifier and expiry to your provider’s Nasdaq-100 instrument in TradeLocker. US100 and NAS100 are example destination names; use the exact symbol shown by your account. Configure receiver lots and destination price levels separately.
Does one NinjaTrader futures contract equal one TradeLocker lot?
A futures contract count and a TradeLocker lot size use different instrument specifications. Use the source multiplier and your broker’s destination value per point, minimum volume, lot step and account currency when setting receiver size. Symbol mapping selects the instrument; it does not establish equal position size or risk.
Can one NinjaTrader source copy to multiple TradeLocker accounts?
Yes. A Copygram room connects one source to one or more receivers. Add your TradeLocker accounts and give each its own symbols, lot sizing and trade-management rules. Symbol Lot Exceptions override default money management. Count the source and receivers when choosing your plan’s connected-account allowance.
How do I configure stops and targets on TradeLocker?
Use the receiver’s stop-loss and take-profit settings for the destination instrument. Futures and CFDs have separate quotes, so configure protection using the TradeLocker instrument’s price basis and your receiver rules.
Can I control copied closes and trade modifications?
Yes. Copygram provides Copy Close Orders and Copy Modif Orders settings for each receiver. Choose whether to follow source closes and updates or manage exits through your receiving account. Follow the recorded activity in Copygram signal logs and TradeLocker.
Can I copy trades generated by a NinjaScript strategy?
Yes. Copygram routes account trades from your connected NinjaTrader source to its TradeLocker receiver, including strategy-generated trades. Keep the NinjaScript strategy running in its required NinjaTrader environment to generate the source activity.
What should I update when my futures contract changes expiry?
Update the source mapping to the exact NinjaTrader contract and expiry you are now trading. Keep it linked to the intended TradeLocker instrument, with the receiver lot size and trade-management rules for that account.
Can I choose which symbols and trading hours TradeLocker follows?
Yes. Symbol filters define which instruments the receiver follows, and trading schedules define its active windows. Configure the timezone and market hours for your workflow. Each TradeLocker receiver has its own symbol rules and schedule.
