Tired of letting emotions dictate your trading? Struggling to stick to your risk plan, or worry about managing daily P/L goals? As traders ourselves, we understand these pain points. That’s why we built the NinjaTrader Account Manager (NAM), the game-changing feature you’ve been waiting for in NinjaTrader 8.
NAM is built to give you a comprehensive set of automated options in every trading session. It gives you automated precision at your fingertips, combining powerful risk-management tools with a highly customizable system to keep you on the right path—all accessible right within the CrossTrade ecosystem. It's more than just another feature; it's your key to enhanced control, discipline, and potentially better performance.
Flatten an entire account instantly once your profit or loss target is hit.
We monitor each of your accounts continuously–every 2.5 seconds, or 24 times per minute–with real-time reporting, tracking both realized and unrealized profits and losses.
Apply those values in your automated decisions to modify risk. Our powerful systems work the same, regardless of what type of strategies are being used.

Set individual profit and loss limits per account. NAM acts as a diligent gatekeeper, and by leveraging this unique customization capability of this new powerful tool, you'll prevent yourself from chasing the market when emotionally charged or overexposed to negative situations during your trading session.
You can also use threshold values of 0 to selectively disable loss or profit threshold triggers if you only want management on one side or the other.
Dictate actions precisely how you want based on individual rules for each account:
Profit Target: Have the system flatten positions automatically, or simply alert you while retaining a position based on threshold hits.
Loss Target: Employ the same system behavior when a loss is encountered, enabling flattening for damage control, or maintain open exposure.
Multiple Calculation Methods: Control if calculations use total (realized and unrealized) P/L or only the realized values (with both as possible settings) allowing users more specific configurations that support varied preferences or style of use for each specific individual account in AAM.
A unique toggle allows for direct control on a per-account-basis, allowing for total control over if commission gets added or removed from an account calculation.
You define a precise time daily where your positions automatically flatten (closing of open positions), helping you keep a very clear sense of personal performance as a part of the review and decision-making part of your unique processes.
End-of-day flattening is fully server-side and runs as long as your monitor is enabled and your CrossTrade NT8 add-on is connected.
Users specify individual alert behaviors for their individual accounts within NAM to make the tool suit your unique situation and style; these range from the disabling of alerts on all occasions or only enabling them to alert during a system-controlled flatten, with a separate option for not having them act at all.
Minimum Profit Threshold – This feature helps protect your gains by setting a predefined profit level. Once your session P&L surpasses a Minimum Profit Trigger, a Profit Threshold is established. If your profits fall below a certain threshold, the system can automatically flatten your account, ensuring you retain at least some of your gains rather than letting a profitable day turn into a loss.
💡Example: If your Profit Threshold is set at $500 and your Minimum Profit Trigger is $450, once your session P&L exceeds $450, a Minimum Profit Threshold of $100 is engaged. If your session P&L drops below $100, your account can be flattened to secure some profits.
Trailing Drawdown – A more dynamic approach to risk management, Trailing Drawdown tracks your highest profit point and adjusts a protective level accordingly. It can be based on either Session P&L or Net Liq and updates every 2.5 seconds.
💡Example: If your trailing drawdown activates once session P&L surpasses $400 with a 25% buffer, and your profit reaches $500, the trailing drawdown level is set at $375. If profits dip below $375, the account can be flattened to lock in gains.
NAM is included in our Pro plan. Don't let another day go by where emotions or indecision steal profits away from your strategy. This incredibly effective suite of tools puts powerful control directly into the hands of traders wanting more efficient workflows, and we are dedicated to the support and continued growth of all of our tools.
