CrossTrade February 2025 Update: Enhanced Account Management & Performance Upgrades
CrossTrade's February update brings Enhanced Account Management for NT8, real-time insights, one-click actions, and mobile optimization. Plus, server upgrades, new advanced options, and a revamped Alert History page!
February was a big month for CrossTrade, packed with new features, infrastructure improvements, and refinements to enhance your trading experience. Our biggest update this month is the Enhanced Account Management for NinjaTrader 8 (NT8), which provides traders with greater flexibility and efficiency when managing multiple accounts. Here’s a full breakdown of what’s new.
Enhanced Account Management for NT8
Our latest update to our NinjaTrader Account Manager brings a whole new suite of tools designed to give traders more granular control over order execution across multiple accounts in NinjaTrader 8. With this update, you can:
- Send orders to multiple accounts with ease – You can now execute trades across multiple accounts using a single TradingView alert.
- Specify different order sizes for each account – Instead of sending identical orders to all accounts, you can now adjust the contract size per account.
- Use account groups for streamlined execution – Define preset account groups and use them in alerts to simplify multi-account trading.
- Easily track and manage multi-account orders – Orders placed using multi-account execution are now easier to track, ensuring clarity when reviewing trades.
These enhancements are a major step forward in providing seamless multi-account trading. You can read the full details here.
Major Server Upgrade for Faster Performance
With a significant influx of new users, we upgraded our servers on February 8th, 2025, to ensure that CrossTrade remains as fast and reliable as possible. Our infrastructure now processes hundreds of thousands of alerts daily with even greater efficiency, reducing latency and improving order execution speed. 🚀
New Advanced Options for More Control
This month, we introduced two powerful Advanced Options to give traders even greater control over their order execution:
- Bypass Trade Window (Released February 10th) – This feature allows traders to send orders without triggering the Trade Window in NinjaTrader. Learn more about this option here.
key=your-secret-key;
account=Sim101;
instrument=ES 03-25;
command=PLACE;
order_type=MARKET;
action=BUY;
qty=1;
tif=DAY;
bypass_trade_windows=true;
- Limit Order Timeouts (Released February 21st) – With this feature, traders can specify a timeout for their limit orders, automatically canceling them if they don’t fill within the set duration. Details can be found here.
key=your-secret-key;
account=Sim101;
instrument=ES 03-25;
command=PLACE;
order_type=LIMIT;
limit_price=-10 ticks;
action=BUY;
qty=1;
tif=DAY;
cancel_after=5;
Alert History Page Revamp
Alongside the Limit Order Timeouts release, we made significant improvements to the Alert History page to enhance usability. The new design makes it more intuitive, easier to search, and provides better insight into past orders. If your order was part of a multi-account placement order (account=Sim101,Sim101,etc;), you can now quickly retrieve all related alerts by clicking on the Multi-Account ID.
VPS Connection Guide for Traders
For traders using a VPS setup, we partnered with QuantVPS to offer seamless integration. Our new guide walks you through the process of connecting to a VPS from a Windows PC, ensuring smooth remote trading. Read the full guide here.
Minimum Profit Threshold & Trailing Drawdown Now in Beta
We're excited to introduce two new beta features for Account Management in CrossTrade Pro: Minimum Profit Threshold and Trailing Drawdown.
- 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.
- 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.
These features give traders more flexibility in managing risk and securing profits. We encourage our Pro users to test them out and share feedback as we continue refining these tools!
Looking Ahead
As we move into March, we’re continuing to refine and expand CrossTrade’s features based on trader feedback. Stay tuned for even more updates, and as always, we appreciate your support in making CrossTrade the best platform for automating TradingView alerts with NinjaTrader 8.
