BadTrade Disciple FAQ
The questions I get most about Trade Disciple. If yours isn't here, email me below.
What It Does
Can I copy trades from a micro account to a standard account?
Yes. Cross Order works in both directions. Trade 1 ES on your master and your disciples receive 10 MES automatically. Works with ES/MES, NQ/MNQ, YM/MYM, RTY/M2K, CL/MCL, and GC/MGC.
What happens if an order fails to copy?
Trade Disciple retries a failed submission up to 3 times, waiting longer between each try (50 ms, 200 ms, 500 ms). If NinjaTrader rejects the order again after that, check the log.
Does it copy modifications and cancellations?
Yes. Modifications and cancellations on the master are copied to every disciple. Change a price or quantity and the disciples follow. Cancel and they cancel too.
How many accounts can I copy to?
Up to 20 disciple accounts from a single master account. Add or remove disciples in a few clicks.
What if I only want market orders on my disciples?
Turn on Market Orders Only. Trade Disciple waits for your master order to fill, then sends market orders to every disciple, so they get in when you do.
Setup & Compatibility
Does Trade Disciple work with prop firm accounts?
It runs on any account connected to NinjaTrader 8, including prop firm evaluation and funded accounts. Whether your firm allows copiers is a separate question, so check the firm's rules; the policy table on the Trade Disciple page summarizes six firms. Pair it with Karma Guardian if you want lockouts on each account.
Do prop firms allow trade copiers?
It depends on the firm. Some allow copiers across accounts you own, some limit them, and TakeProfitTrader only allows copiers on its approved list, which doesn't name Trade Disciple today. Check your firm's rules before you copy. The policy table on the Trade Disciple page summarizes six firms. Stealth Mode only removes Trade Disciple's label text from copied order names. It doesn't make copying okay where your firm doesn't allow it.
Does Trade Disciple work with Karma Guardian?
Yes. Trade Disciple checks Karma Guardian's lockout status before copying any order. If an account is locked, it gets no orders. There is nothing to configure.
Billing & Trial
How is Trade Disciple licensed?
Trade Disciple is licensed to your NinjaTrader account, not to a computer. If you sign in to NinjaTrader with the same account on your desktop and your laptop, both are covered by one license. After you buy, email your NinjaTrader User ID to activate it.
How much does Trade Disciple cost, and is there a free trial?
Trade Disciple is $5/month flat. That covers all 20 disciple accounts, every update and support, and it doesn't cost more as you add accounts. The first 30 days are free and the trial doesn't need payment details. If you'd rather pay once, a lifetime license is $199 (a launch price) and includes all future updates and support.
