Cloud vs local

Frustrated with Replikanto's NinjaTrader restarts?

Replikanto is a NinjaTrader add-on. It's typically advised to run it on a $50-$150/month VPS you rent. When NinjaTrader restarts, Windows updates, or your VPS reboots — copying stops. Echo Trader runs in the cloud, so none of that matters.

The core difference

Cloud-based vs install-and-pray.

Replikanto lives inside NinjaTrader on your machine. If NinjaTrader closes — for an update, a crash, a planned restart, a Windows update at 3am — copying stops. Echo Trader runs entirely in the cloud, so none of that matters.

No VPS, no extra cost

Replikanto users typically rent a Windows VPS ($50–$150/mo) just to keep NinjaTrader running 24/7. Echo Trader is cloud-native — that line item disappears.

No NinjaTrader interruptions

NinjaTrader restarts. Windows reboots. Your VPS hiccups. All of these stop Replikanto from copying. Echo Trader sits between you and the broker — none of those break us.

Check in from anywhere

Echo Trader runs in the browser, so you can check your accounts, pause groups, or adjust risk limits from your phone. Replikanto lives inside NinjaTrader on your desktop — no mobile access.

Works when your PC is off

Echo Trader runs in the cloud, so your copying keeps working after you close your laptop. Replikanto can't — it needs NinjaTrader running on your machine the whole time.

The real monthly cost

Add up what Replikanto actually costs to run.

Replikanto's licensing is only part of the number. To keep it running 24/7 you need a Windows VPS, and every hour of downtime is trades that didn't copy.

Why this matters

The cost of a copier that depends on your PC.

Every Replikanto user we've talked to has a story. Windows pushed an update at 2am, NinjaTrader didn't reopen, and they woke up to a position that should have been on 8 accounts sitting on 1. Or NinjaTrader's daily restart kicked in mid-session and trades that should have copied to their funded accounts didn't.

That's not Replikanto's fault — it's the model. A copier that runs inside NinjaTrader is at the mercy of NinjaTrader, your operating system, your network, and your VPS.

Echo Trader sits in the cloud, between you and the broker. We talk directly to Tradovate and NinjaTrader's APIs. When NinjaTrader restarts, your TradingView fires an alert, or your laptop closes — we keep going.

What you get beyond copying

Echo Trader is also a journal, AI coach, and risk system.

Replikanto copies trades. That's the entire product. Echo Trader does that — and a lot more.

AI insights

Find your edge by instrument, time of day, and setup. Replikanto doesn't analyze your trades.

Per-account risk

Daily and weekly profit and loss limits per account. Your broker halts trading and flattens the account when a limit is hit.

Unified dashboard

Every Tradovate and NinjaTrader account on one screen. Live P&L and risk limits.

Common questions

Quick answers.

Do I need a VPS for Echo Trader?

No. Echo Trader runs in the cloud. You connect your broker accounts via API and we handle everything from there. Your PC can be off.

Does Echo Trader work with NinjaTrader like Replikanto does?

Yes — we connect to NinjaTrader's API directly, but we don't run as an add-on inside NinjaTrader. That's why we keep working when NinjaTrader doesn't.

Can I check on my accounts from my phone?

Yes — Echo Trader is browser-based, so it works on any phone or tablet. Replikanto lives inside NinjaTrader on your desktop, so mobile access isn't part of the model.

Is Echo Trader more expensive than Replikanto + VPS?

Usually cheaper. Echo Trader Basic is $49/mo — and that's all-in. Replikanto's license plus a Windows VPS typically runs $50–$150/mo on top of Replikanto's licensing.

Can I migrate from Replikanto?

Yes — most users migrate in under 10 minutes. Start the free trial, add your broker connections, set your rules, and you're copying. No VPS to shut down on day one, but you'll want to retire it soon after.

Stop renting a VPS. Start copying from the cloud.
