MT5 to NinjaTrader Trade Copier

MT5 to NinjaTrader Trade Copier
The MT5 to NinjaTrader Trade Copier (Bridge) is a specialized tool designed for duplicating trades from MetaTrader 5 (MT5) to NinjaTrader. Functioning as a connector between the two platforms, it allows traders to place orders in MT5 and have them automatically copied to NinjaTrader in real time.

MT5 to NinjaTrader Trade Copier

The MT5 to NinjaTrader Trade Copier (Bridge) is designed for traders who work with MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and want their trades to be mirrored on the NinjaTrader platform. This solution provides a practical way to combine the strengths of both systems, making it especially valuable for those who rely on MT5’s improved performance, flexible trading environment, and wide selection of custom indicators, while also taking advantage of NinjaTrader’s advanced charting tools and sophisticated order-management capabilities.

Many traders prefer conducting their analysis on one platform but need to execute trades on another — whether because of broker availability, analytical convenience, or platform-specific features. The MT5 to NinjaTrader Trade Copier solves this issue by automating the process of copying trades from MT5 directly into NinjaTrader. This allows traders to continue using their preferred MT5 Expert Advisors (EAs), scripts, and custom indicators while simultaneously benefiting from NinjaTrader’s execution architecture and charting precision.

Functional Features

The MT5 to NinjaTrader Trade Copier operates as an integrated solution that links MetaTrader 5 (MT5) with NinjaTrader through two core components:

  • MT5 Expert Advisor (Sender): Responsible for generating and transmitting trade signals from the MT5 side.
  • NinjaTrader Strategy (Receiver): Processes incoming signals and executes the corresponding trades within the NinjaTrader platform.

 

This version of the copier is designed for local operation, meaning both MT5 and NinjaTrader must be running on the same computer. All trade replication takes place locally without the use of external servers.

By default, our solution supports local trade copying on a single computer. For use cases requiring remote trade replication across different machines, we offer a separate product: the MT5 to NinjaTrader Server-Based Copier. This version operates through a secure server, enabling consistent and efficient synchronization of trades between platforms installed on separate computers. Please note that the server-based edition is not available via subscription. If you need a product for copying trades between remote computers, please contact us, and we will provide a tailored solution to meet your specific requirements.

Copying trades is only possible in one direction: from MetaTrader 5 to NinjaTrader 8. Due to technical limitations of the platforms, simultaneous two-way trade copying is not supported. 

 

Key Features

  • Fast Trade Copying. Trade copying occurs at a speed of less than 0.1 seconds, ensuring rapid synchronization between platforms.
  • Support for All Trade Types. The copier works with both manually placed trades and those generated by automated systems, making it suitable for a wide range of trading approaches.
  • Execution-Based Handling of Pending Orders. Pending (limit) orders are not copied at the moment they are placed. Instead, they are replicated only when they are triggered and executed, ensuring accurate alignment with real market execution.
  • Order Execution Methodology. If your MetaTrader 5 account is configured as a hedging account type, the Trade Copier applies the “first in, first out” (FIFO) rule. This ensures that trade replication remains compatible with NinjaTrader’s netting model, where all positions are consolidated into a single net position. When the MT5 account uses the netting account type, no additional processing is required, as both MT5 and NinjaTrader follow the same netting-based execution model.
  • Multi-Symbol Support. Trade Copier enables parallel copying of trades for multiple symbols.
  • Customizable Lot Scaling. Traders can adjust lot sizes, allowing precise control over trade scaling.
