Does CrossTrade decide whether a prop firm permits automation?

CrossTrade does not decide whether a prop firm permits automation. The trader must check the firm’s current terms.

FOR FUNDED FUTURES TRADERS

Automate NinjaTrader from anywhere.

PURPOSE-BUILT

Built for prop trading.

Every feature exists because a funded trader hit the same wall you're hitting right now. Daily loss limits, trailing drawdowns, and a dozen accounts to keep in sync.

"My TradingView strategy fires a signal but by the time it reaches NinjaTrader, the fill is gone or I get slippage."

✓

30ms webhook-to-order pipeline.

Alert fires on TV, CrossTrade receives it, NT8 or Tradovate executes — typically under 30 milliseconds. Run NT8 on our Chicago VPS to shave off even more.

Webhook Automation

"I'm running 5+ prop accounts and manually babysitting each one. One gets out of sync and I don't notice until it's too late."

✓

Trade Copier with desync detection.

Mirror a leader account to unlimited followers with independent sizing. Auto-sync monitors for drift and reconciles positions before they become a problem.

Trade Copier

"I blew past my daily loss limit on a prop account because I didn't flatten in time. Now the account is gone."

✓

Per-account kill switches and P/L limits.

Set max daily profit, max daily loss, and trailing drawdown thresholds for each account independently. When a limit hits, the position flattens and the account locks.

Account Manager

"TV says I'm flat, NinjaTrader says I have an open position. I don't know which one is right and I'm scared to touch anything."

✓

Strategy Sync with auto-flatten recovery.

CrossTrade tracks your strategy's intended market position vs. your account's actual state, on NT8 or Tradovate. If they disagree, it corrects the mismatch automatically based on your config.

Strategy Sync

"I spent three hours trying to write the correct webhook format and I still can't get the alert to fire properly."

✓

Visual alert builder. Zero JSON required.

The XT Alert Builder is a TradingView indicator that configures your webhook payload visually — entries, exits, ATM brackets, and trading windows from dropdown menus.

XT Alert Builder

"My current copier silently fails. Positions desync, followers miss fills, and I only find out after the damage is done."

✓

Execution validation with real-time status.

Every copied order is confirmed. If a follower fails to execute, you see it immediately in the dashboard — not three hours later when you check your P/L.

PICK YOUR PLATFORM

Two platforms. One command center.

CrossTrade runs the same automation stack on both NinjaTrader-native platforms, and both are included on every plan. Run one, or link both and trade them side by side from a single dashboard.

NinjaTrader 8 · Desktop

Create TradingView alerts with your CrossTrade webhook URL.
Your desktop executes, or run it hands-off on our Chicago VPS.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY NEED

Not every trader needs
every piece.

Most people start with webhooks and never add anything else. Here is when each extra tool earns its spot, and when it doesn't.

🖥️ CrossTrade VPS Add-on

Get it when

Automation has to survive Windows updates, power blips, and your PC being off. Chicago servers, NT8 and the Add-On pre-installed.

Skip it if

You shut down after the close. And Tradovate never needs one: that routing runs in our cloud.

From $99/mo · Compare plans →

{ } REST API Pro

Get it when

Your signal comes from a Python script, a bot, or a cron job instead of a chart. Place, flatten, and query from any language.

Skip it if

TradingView is your only signal source. Webhooks already carry it.

Explore the API →

🔄 Strategy Sync Standard

Get it when

A dropped alert leaving you exposed would actually cost you. Sync sends position state, not bare signals, and corrects any mismatch.

Skip it if

You watch every fill and flatten by hand at the close anyway.

Learn Strategy Sync →

🤖 AI Trading Agents Elite

Get it when

You would rather ask Claude for your P/L than click through four screens. OAuth-scoped access, one-click revoke.

Skip it if

You want zero AI anywhere near your accounts. Fair enough.

Explore AI Trading →

📡 Signal Share EliteNT8

Get it when

Someone other than you trades your signal, each on their own NT8 machine, over a 5 ms Chicago relay.

Skip it if

Every receiving account is your own. That is the Trade Copier's job.

🛠️ XT Alert Builder Free+

Get it when

You want entries, exits, and ATM brackets from dropdown menus instead of hand-writing webhook syntax.

Skip it if

Your payloads are already dialed in and battle-tested.

Why CrossTrade

Why Traders Choose CrossTrade

We do things different. Let's lay it all out.

Cloud-First Architecture

The heavy lifting runs on our servers, not yours. NT8 stays fast and lightweight, and Tradovate runs with nothing installed at all.

One-Stop-Shop

Webhooks. Trade Copier. Account Manager. REST API. VPS. Stop duct-taping 5 products together. Everything you need is here.

Actively Built & Updated

Real devs shipping real features based on actual user feedback. Not a side hustle. Not abandonware. Not developed using a vibe-coder on Fiverr.

Subscription-Based

Stop dropping $500+ on one-time tools you'll shelve in two months. CrossTrade starts at $29/mo. Cancel anytime and come back when you want.

Millions of Alerts

This isn't a proof of concept. Millions of alerts have passed through our infrastructure and thousands of traders run their entire operation through CrossTrade.

Human Support

You talk to the people who built it. Not a chatbot. The founders are in Discord answering questions alongside other CrossTrade members.

Our sync_strategy function will reliably sync your TradingView strategy with NinjaTrader 8 or Tradovate and unlock robust, error-free automation

Frequently asked questions

Common questions with straight answers

Is there a free trial available?

Yes, we offer a free 7-day trial with no credit card required. The trial gives you full access to CrossTrade and all of its features with unlimited webhook alerts.

Start your free trial.

Can I change my plan later?

Of course. You can upgrade or change your plan on the My Account page inside your dashboard.

What is your refund and cancellation policy?

You have the flexibility to cancel anytime. We do not provide refunds on our paid plans, so be sure to take full advantage of your trial period before deciding to upgrade. For more information, visit our Refund Policy.

Do you offer an Affiliate Program?

Yes! The program is open to all users — see the CrossTrade Affiliate Program for details.

Does CrossTrade work on Tradovate or NinjaTrader web?

Yes. Tradovate is fully supported and included with every plan. Link a Tradovate account in the cloud with no desktop add-on, then use webhooks, REST, MCP, Account Manager, Strategy Sync, the Trade Copier, and the Trade Journal. See the Tradovate hub for details. NinjaTrader web is not supported; CrossTrade connects to NinjaTrader 8 desktop.

Can CrossTrade enforce my prop firm daily loss limit and trailing drawdown?

Yes. The Account Manager lets you set max daily loss, max daily profit, and trailing drawdown thresholds independently for each account. When a threshold is reached, CrossTrade flattens open positions and locks the account so no further orders go through. You can also schedule end-of-day flattening so nothing is held past your firm’s cutoff. It is generally available on both NinjaTrader and Tradovate.

Does CrossTrade work with popular prop firms?

Yes. CrossTrade connects to NinjaTrader 8 and Tradovate, so it works with any prop firm that offers either platform, including Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Bulenox, TradeDay, Tradeify, Earn2Trade, BluSky, and Take Profit Trader. See the full list on our prop firm hub. Always confirm your firm’s rules on automated trading before enabling automation.

Where can I find your Terms and Conditions?

Browse all of our legal pages, including Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Trading Disclaimer, Affiliate Disclaimer, and Referral Program agreement.

How can I receive additional support?

You can email us using the contact form or directly at [email protected].

Additional support is found inside our Discord Community where you’ll find help channels, command lists, and an Answer Bank for all your questions.

Are the VPS servers included with my CrossTrade subscription?

No, VPS hosting is a separate subscription you can add or remove at any time.

Where can I find Help Documentation?

Explore our comprehensive Help Docs for information on TradingView alerts, CrossTrade features, and more.

Can I send alerts to multiple NinjaTrader accounts?

Yes. Use our Multi-Account placement feature to submit a single alert to multiple accounts. Simply separate the accounts with a comma in your command:

account=sim101,sim102,sim103;

Will CrossTrade work with any NinjaTrader account type?

Yes. Any NinjaTrader account type is compatible, including Demo, Sim, Live, and prop trading evaluation accounts.

Do I need real-time data to test my strategy?

Yes. Although you can send a signal to the simulated data feed, you will need real-time data to properly test and trade on NT8.
