Lune vs Replikanto | Trade Copier for Futures Compared

Replikanto is the de facto trade copier for NinjaTrader 8 futures traders, but it requires a constantly-running desktop install and heavy VPS. Lune Trade Copier runs entirely in the cloud, works across Rithmic, ProjectX, NinjaTrader, and Tradovate, and includes risk management and a Cockpit, no desktop software required.

Where Lune excels

Cloud-Native Across 4 Brokers

Lune Trade Copier runs entirely in the cloud and supports Rithmic, ProjectX, NinjaTrader, and Tradovate in a single configuration. Replikanto is tied to NinjaTrader 8 desktop, so every leader and follower account must connect through NinjaTrader on a VPS.

No VPS or Desktop Software

Copy trading on Lune runs 24/7 on Lune servers. Replikanto needs NinjaTrader 8 installed and open on a VPS for every trader, which adds $20-40/mo in infrastructure plus ongoing maintenance and failure modes from NinjaTrader crashes or VPS reboots.

Risk Management and Journal Included

Lune enforces per-account risk limits, trailing drawdown, and daily loss caps on every copied trade, and every fill syncs automatically to the Trading Journal. Replikanto only copies fills, so you still need separate tools for risk enforcement and journaling.

Subscription Covers Everything

One $39/mo subscription covers the Trade Copier, Cockpit, and risk management with no credit packs or per-follower fees. Replikanto charges a $299 license up front plus credit packs ($10-$90) that are consumed as the copier operates.

Where Replikanto excels

One-Time License Pricing

Replikanto is a one-time $299 purchase plus credit top-ups, which can be cheaper over many years if you only use NinjaTrader 8 and do not need automation, risk tools, or a journal.

Established NinjaTrader 8 Benchmark

Replikanto is the long-standing benchmark for NinjaTrader 8 trade copying with deep ATM and OCO integration. If your entire workflow already lives inside NinjaTrader 8, it plugs in natively.

The ecosystem advantage

Replikanto solves NinjaTrader 8 copy trading. Lune solves the full prop firm copy-trading workflow. Your leader account can run TradingView automation, those trades copy across Rithmic, ProjectX, NinjaTrader, and Tradovate follower accounts, per-account risk rules enforce before fills reach the broker, and every copied fill lands in your journal automatically. One platform, no NinjaTrader desktop, no credit packs, no reconciling separate tools.

FAQ

Common questions

How Lune and Replikanto compare on the details that matter.

Yes for most workflows. Lune supports NinjaTrader as a connected broker alongside Rithmic, ProjectX, and Tradovate, and copies trades across any mix of those accounts. If you rely on very specific NinjaTrader 8 ATM or OCO templates, Replikanto has deeper native integration inside NinjaTrader itself.
