MetaTrader 5 to NinjaTrader 8 Copier (MT5 → NT8)
MirrorFlow uses MetaTrader 5 as the source (master) account and replicates every trade to NinjaTrader 8, converting your CFD or forex lots into the exact number of futures contracts. Ideal if you develop or analyze in MT5 but execute CME futures in NinjaTrader 8. 100% local connection, latency under 15ms and a one-time payment of $69.
MetaTrader 5 as the source account
Your Expert Advisor or manual analysis in MT5 fires the signal; MirrorFlow sends it to NinjaTrader 8 without touching your strategy or MQL5.
Lot → futures contract conversion
The Equivalence panel translates your MT5 CFD/forex lots (US100, XAUUSD, EURUSD) into the exact number of NQ, MNQ, GC or 6E contracts in NT8.
Native execution in NinjaTrader (Anti-Ban)
The NinjaScript receiver places orders inside NT8, on your own machine, with no cloud servers or middlemen. Anti-Ban describes that mechanism, not a guarantee of immunity: every firm has its own rules on automation and copying, and those rules change. Check your firm's rulebook before trading.
Hedge Mode and daily limits
Apply a per-account multiplier, Invert Side and daily loss/profit limits (MDD/MDP) on each NinjaTrader account.
