Sim account as leader in Trade Copier

When working with algos, the backtesting with a mini instrument and then doing the same test with the related micro do not produce results that are 1/10th proportionally. I have long understood that best practices are to use the data from the mini to make trades on the micros. The Trade Copier does have the mini to micro feature, but it requires that one of the accounts be the leader, making it subject to potential drawdowns that exceed the account. The Apex Trade Copier for Ninja Trader has a built in sim account to use as a leader so that all of the real accounts can be executed as micros. I have not found a way to do this with the Tickblaze Trade Copier. I have tried opening up two desktops, one connected to Paper Trading and one connected to the actual prop firm, but the simulation account does not show up in the Trade Copier. Anyone else try this?
