Rithmic trade copier
Many prop firms carry their accounts on Rithmic, so traders often meet it as a connection option. Here's what that means for copying trades between accounts.
Quanify routes live orders to Tradovate today. The Rithmic connector is on the roadmap and not available yet.
Where a copier sits on a Rithmic account
Rithmic is order routing and market data infrastructure between a front end (R|Trader Pro, Quantower, a broker's own software) and the exchange, and several prop firms carry their accounts on it. A copier reacts to each fill report and places sized orders on your other accounts.
- Front endR|Trader Pro, Quantower, or whatever your firm hands you. This is what you click in.
- RithmicOrder routing and market data. The layer carrying your orders and reporting your fills.
- ExchangeWhere the trade happens.
- The copierReacts to the fill report and places its own sized orders on your other accounts.
A copier doesn't replace your front end. You keep trading the same way.
Event copiers and polling copiers
The connection layer decides what a copier reacts to.
| Execution events | Polling | |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | Each fill, with an id | A position check every few seconds |
| Two fills in one interval | Two copies | Can look like one |
| Partial fills | Copied as partials | Seen as a net change |
| Broker resends | Spotted by execution id | Hard to tell apart |
Quanify copies from execution events. That runs on Tradovate today; Rithmic is on the roadmap.
Sizing Rithmic followers
Funded accounts differ, and copying them one for one can breach the smaller ones.
- Whole-number multipliers
- Each account scales the leader's fill by its own number. Contracts are indivisible, so there's no 0.5× to round quietly.
- Per-account addressing
- A prop-firm login often carries several funded accounts, and each gets its own size.
- Mute
- Pause one account without taking the group apart. Mute is held by the engine, so every device agrees.
- Flatten
- Close the group's positions and cancel its orders in one action.

Can I copy trade Rithmic prop firm accounts?
Your firm's contract decides. Rules differ between evaluation and funded accounts and change without notice.
Search the current rulebook for copy, mirror, duplicate, multiple accounts and automated, and ask support in writing if a clause is unclear. No copier can make an account compliant.
Which prop firms allow copy tradingCommon questions
Short answers to what traders ask first. Anything else, the Help Center has it.
What is Rithmic?
Order routing and market data infrastructure between a trading front end and the exchange. Several prop firms route their funded accounts through it.
Can I copy trades between Rithmic accounts?
Mechanically yes, if you own them and your firm allows it. Quanify doesn't support Rithmic accounts yet; it routes to Tradovate today and Rithmic is on the roadmap.
Do I need R|Trader Pro open to copy trades?
Not with a cloud copier, which holds the session away from your machine. Quanify works that way on Tradovate today.
Is Rithmic better than Tradovate for copy trading?
What matters is that the copier uses execution events and addresses each funded account on its own. The practical difference today: Quanify connects to Tradovate now and Rithmic is on the roadmap.
Can I copy between a Rithmic account and a Tradovate account?
Not in Quanify yet. A copy group holds Tradovate accounts today; Rithmic accounts will join the same groups when the connector ships.
Does my prop firm allow this?
Check your firm's current rulebook for your account type. No copier can make an account compliant with a rule that forbids copying.
