Group Trade ATM on NinjaTrader Prop lets a trader place a single multi-account entry that automatically attaches predefined stop-loss and profit-target orders to every account in the group the moment each entry fills. That's the short answer, and it's the one traders managing 5, 10, or 20-plus prop accounts have been waiting for.
What is Group Trade ATM?
An ATM strategy (advanced trade management) is a preset template inside NinjaTrader that defines your stop-loss, profit target, and order management rules before you ever click Buy or Sell. Group Trade lets you submit a single order across multiple prop accounts simultaneously. Group Trade ATM combines both, so when your entry fires across the group, every account gets its bracket in the same motion.
Group Trade ATM uses the same ATM templates traders already build inside the NinjaTrader platform, so you don't need a new workflow or subscription to automate risk across a multi-account group.
The risk management gap that Group Trade ATM closes
Running multiple prop accounts used to mean one of two things: manually managing each account (slow, error-prone), or bolting on a third-party trade copier and hoping it kept up. Neither was clean. Third-party tools add latency, cost, and another point of failure—and they don't know your ATM templates. Manually placing stops and targets across a dozen accounts after an entry fills is how protected profits can get left on the table; Group Trade ATM closes that gap. It's a native feature, not an add-on.
How Group Trade ATM works on NinjaTrader Prop
The Group Trade ATM workflow is straightforward by design: no new setup, no extra steps—just the same ATM templates you already use applied across every account in your group simultaneously.
Select a group, choose an ATM template, submit
Before placing a trade, select the account group you want to trade—whether that's a set of evaluation accounts, funded accounts, or a mix—and choose an ATM template from the dropdown. The template already has your stop and target levels baked in. Hit Submit, and Group Trade ATM handles the rest. No additional steps, no separate bracket placement.
One entry, one bracket, every account
Every account gets its bracket attached as soon as the entry fills, removing the manual step of adding stops after the fact. One submission, one coherent action across the entire group.
Independent OCO logic per account
Every account in a Group Trade ATM order receives its own independent one-cancels-other (OCO) bracket; one account filling or stopping out does not affect the bracket on any other account in the group. If Account A hits its target, Account B's bracket keeps running. If Account C gets stopped out, Account D never knows it happened.
This combination—single-submission simplicity, automatic bracket attachment, and independent per-account OCO logic—makes Group Trade ATM the most capable native multi-account risk tool available on NinjaTrader Prop.
Why this matters for multi-account prop traders
Group Trade ATM is built for prop traders managing multiple evaluation or funded accounts: systematic scalers, steady earners, and professional/funded traders.
Systematic scalers running 5–20 eval accounts
Systematic scalers are testing strategies across multiple evaluation accounts at once, looking for consistency before scaling to funded. Group Trade ATM means the same risk framework gets applied across every account automatically—no manual intervention, no drift between accounts that should be running identical setups. The prop firm risk parameters stay consistent because the bracket enforces them.
Steady earners who can't afford a missed stop
Steady earners are funded traders protecting hard-won capital. A single missed stop on one account can undo days of consistent performance. Group Trade ATM means the stop is attached the moment the entry fills, so no account is left without its predefined risk bracket, even when markets move fast.
Professional and funded traders managing 20+ accounts
At scale, manual order management isn't just inefficient—it's a liability. Group Trade ATM can help apply consistent protection across every account in your group—without a VPS, without a copier subscription, and without the latency that comes with third-party tools.
Whether you're scaling evaluations, protecting funded accounts, or running a professional-grade operation across dozens of contracts, Group Trade ATM gives every account in your group the same systematic protection, every time.

Group Trade ATM vs. third-party tools
The case for Group Trade ATM over third-party tools comes down to one thing: less between you and your trade. Here's a breakdown:
| Feature | Group Trade ATM | Third-party copier / ATM tools |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | No additional subscription | Monthly fee typically required |
| Latency | Native—zero copy delay | Dependent on copier speed |
| ATM template support | Uses your existing templates | Often incompatible or separate setup |
| Reliability | Platform-native | Adds an external point of failure |
