Every account. Every rule.
On autopilot.
Tradovate
NinjaTrader 8
Set the profit target, loss limit, trailing drawdown, account floor and trading hours for each account once. CrossTrade enforces them every session: every 2.5 seconds on NinjaTrader, and in near real time in our cloud on Tradovate.
CrossTrade applies the settings you choose. It does not determine your firm's rules or guarantee an evaluation, account status, or outcome.

Not a loss limit. A full control system.
Typical risk tools
- A daily loss limit, and not much else

Three monitoring modes on NinjaTrader
Choose how the Account Manager reads and enforces your rules, one mode per account. Each fits a different trading style. Tradovate monitors run in Standard mode.
Session P/L
Tracks P/L from the session start. Reach your number, the account is flattened, and the day is done. The simplest way to run a hard daily plan.
Cut losers, let winners run
Holds the line on your loss limit while letting winning trades run past your profit target. Firm on the downside, open on the upside.
Continuous monitoring
Watches open P/L and resets the baseline each time you flatten, so your rules keep running all session instead of ending the day after one trigger.
Core features
Every control runs independently per account. Set one plan for your sim, another for your eval, and another for your funded account. Each one runs its own rules.
Profit & Loss Thresholds
Set a daily profit target and a daily loss limit per account. When either is reached, the Account Manager can flatten positions, disable alerts, switch to closing only, or take no action. Each side is independent, so you can run a loss limit with no profit cap, or the reverse.
COREMinimum Profit Threshold
Lock in a green day. Once session P/L passes your trigger, a floor is set. If profit falls back to that floor, the Account Manager flattens the account and banks the gain, so a winning day ends as a winning day.
CORETrailing Drawdown
A trailing stop for the whole session. The Account Manager tracks your peak P/L and trails a level behind it, in dollars or percent. The level only moves up, never down, so your best moment of the day sets the bar.
COREEnd-of-Day Flattening
Pick a time (ET) and the Account Manager closes every position on that account, every day. On Tradovate it runs in our cloud with your computer off. On NinjaTrader it runs while the CrossTrade NT8 Add-On is connected.
AUTOMATIONTrading Windows
Up to 5 trading windows per account. Alerts are accepted inside the hours you choose, and new entries are held outside them. Trade the sessions you want and skip the ones you don't.
AUTOMATIONReal-Time P/L Dashboard
Card view or table view. Every monitor shows live session P/L, open positions, threshold status, flatten time and action controls. Click any account for its P/L curve and full management log.
VISIBILITYAdvanced controls
The details that separate a real control system from a loss limit. Each one came from how active traders actually run their accounts.
Outlier Protection
Your rules act on real numbers only. Before any threshold fires, Outlier Protection checks NinjaTrader's reported P/L against an independent calculation, so a stale quote or a momentary data spike never makes the decision. Choose Low, Medium or High sensitivity; every level scales to your instruments and size. NinjaTrader only.
CONTROLMonitor Lock
Your plan holds, even on the days you would rather it didn't. When a monitor stops on a limit, Monitor Lock keeps it stopped until the 5pm ET close, and the next session starts fresh. Works on both brokers.
CONTROLTandem Mode
Your copier follows each account's rules. With Tandem Mode on, copying to an account runs only while its monitor is active. When the monitor stops, copying to that account stops with it, and the blocked copy is logged. Works on both brokers.
CONTROLConfigurable P/L Calculation
Read P/L the way you trade it: total or realized only, with commissions included or not on NinjaTrader. Each account gets its own setting, and changes take effect without restarting anything.

Why both beat everything else
A copier and an account manager that talk to each other.
Most traders pair a copier from one vendor with risk rules from another and hope the two agree. CrossTrade Pro includes both, wired together. When an account's rules say stop, copying to that account stops with it.
The Account Manager is included with every CrossTrade Pro subscription.
No additional fees, no per-account charges.
