Ombra is one copier and webhook engine for your whole prop fleet. It sends every signal to every account on every NinjaTrader 8 install, whether it connects to Rithmic or Tradovate, then checks that each follower holds the position it should, with a stop resting at the broker.
NinjaTrader 8 allows one Rithmic connection per install. Run accounts at three Rithmic firms and you run three installs, each copying on its own, each failing on its own.
Ombra puts one engine above all of them. Your alerts and your leader account feed it once. It fans the orders out to every install, keeps one kill switch for the lot, and records what happened to every account.
| Connection | Route | Accounts | Position check |
|---|---|---|---|
| NT8 install A | Rithmic | 4 | In step, stop resting |
| NT8 install B | Rithmic | 3 | In step, stop resting |
| NT8 install C | Rithmic | 2 | In step, stop resting |
| Tradovate login | via NT8 | 2 | In step, stop resting |
Three parts: your signals, a small add-on on each install, and one engine watching all of them.
Send your TradingView alerts to your Ombra webhook, or pick a leader account. Either way, the engine gets each signal once and stores it before anything else happens.
Install the Ombra add-on on every NT8 install you run, on your own PC or VPS. Orders leave from your machine, through the connections you already have.
Ombra checks that each follower holds the leader’s position with a resting stop. If one doesn’t, you get an alert within seconds, and the signal’s timeline shows what each account did and why.
These are design rules, tested today against a simulated node. Each one will be tested again on real NinjaTrader 8 before anyone pays, and we’ll publish the results.
Every alert is stored before TradingView gets a reply, and every command carries an ID that the add-on records. A resend is never placed twice.
Tested by killing the engine mid-exit, then restarting it twice more. The exit was delivered exactly once.
A separate receiver takes alerts even when the main engine is down. When the engine returns, it applies every exit in order and refuses entries that have gone stale, with an alert for each.
Tested with the engine down for 60 seconds across an exit and an entry.
If an install loses contact with the engine, it cancels resting entries and refuses new risk. It keeps a position only if a working stop covers it in full. Otherwise it places a stop or flattens that account, as you choose, and messages you directly.
You declare each account as evaluation, funded or personal when you connect it. Ombra also reads the type from the connection. If the two disagree, automation stops on that account and you get an alert. Exits and flattens still work.
Before you change anything, measure what your current setup does. The Drift Recorder is a free, read-only add-on for NinjaTrader 8 that logs how far your followers drift from your leader: missed fills, uneven sizes, positions left without a stop.
If you want a second pair of eyes, you can share a week’s log for a free analysis. We delete it within 90 days and never give it to any prop firm.

None of those. Ombra is software that copies and checks orders you or your own alerts decide on. It doesn’t give trading advice, trade ideas or signals, and it doesn’t hold your money.
Firm rules differ and change. Check your firm’s rules before you automate or copy. Ombra will show warnings where we know of restrictions, but you’re responsible for following them.
By default every follower position carries a stop resting at the broker, so it stays protected while NinjaTrader is down. When an install stops reporting, the engine alerts you.
Your market data feed stays on your own machine: we never receive quotes or charts, and never pass one account’s data to anyone. To copy and check orders, the engine does see your own orders, fills and positions, and whatever your alerts contain.
No, never, in any form. That includes any firm we or our group might set up in future. The privacy notice sets this out.
NinjaTrader 8 on Windows or a Windows VPS, with your Rithmic or Tradovate connections set up as usual. One add-on goes on each install.
Ombra is in development. The free Drift Recorder comes first, then a small group of hand-onboarded testers on simulated accounts. Paid plans will be one flat monthly price for the whole fleet. Founders get 50% off that price for life.
