LIVE COPIERS
Two copy modes
Match the mode to the trading style. Mix and match across different copy relationships.
Order Mode
Precision replication
Mirrors every aspect of trade management — limit orders, stops, brackets, modifications, and cancellations. Perfect for strategies requiring exact order management and precise entry/exit timing.
Execution Mode
Speed-first fills
Triggers immediate market orders on follower accounts whenever the source gets filled. Ideal for scalping, fast-moving strategies, or any situation where getting the fill matters more than replicating exact order mechanics.
Core features
Every feature is configured per copier relationship. Build whatever architecture matches your trading strategy.
sync_alt
Multi-Directional Copying
Any account can copy from any other account. Account A follows B, B follows C, C follows A — all concurrently. Build circular copying networks, hedging architectures, or any topology you need. No rigid leader/follower hierarchy.
CORE bolt
Auto-Sync
On a configurable interval (as fast as every 3 seconds), CrossTrade compares each follower's position against what it should be and corrects discrepancies automatically. Missed a fill? Connection dropped? NT8 crashed? Auto-Sync picks up where it left off without you touching anything.
AUTOMATION bar_chart
Position Sizing & Ratios
Set any ratio per follower — 0.5x, 2x, or custom. Maximum position limits prevent any follower from exceeding its risk threshold regardless of leader activity. Essential for copying from large accounts to prop challenges.
CONFIG swap_horiz
Trade Inversion
Flip follower trades to the opposite direction automatically. Build instant hedges across accounts with no manual intervention. All sizing and timing relationships are preserved — only the direction flips.
CONFIG filter_alt
Instrument Filtering & Replacement
Filter which instruments each copier handles. Symbol replacement translates contracts automatically — trade ES on the leader, execute MES on the follower with full contract math handled for you.
CONFIG groups
Copier Groups
Manage multiple followers as a single unit. Create a group, configure settings once, start or stop all copiers with a single click. Essential when scaling to 5, 10, or 20 prop accounts from one leader.
SCALE Reliability & controls
Features that exist because real traders hit real edge cases. Connection drops, NT8 restarts, and reconnect storms are the technical edge cases the copier handles. Firm rules vary, so check your firm's current rules before using any copier.
visibility_off
Stealth Mode
Removes CrossTrade's automation metadata from copied orders, so trades use standard NT8 order naming conventions. Survives connection failures and full NT8 restarts. Firm rules vary, so check your firm's current rules before using any automation or copier.
PRIVACY timer
Reconnect Delay
When a broker connection drops and reconnects, NT8 fires a burst of order events as it re-syncs. Without protection, the copier replicates those as real trades. Reconnect Delay suppresses all copier activity for a configurable cooldown window, preventing phantom positions.
SAFETY link
Tandem Mode
Binds copying to your Account Manager monitors. Copying only runs while the corresponding monitor is active and within your risk parameters. Hit a daily loss limit? All linked copiers halt instantly.
SAFETY cloud_sync
Server-Side State
Copier configuration and sync logic live on CrossTrade's servers, not inside NT8. Your config survives crashes, restarts, and power failures. Changes made in the web dashboard propagate instantly to the Add-On without restarting NinjaTrader.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Example configurations
Mini → Micro
Leader trades ES, follower executes MES at 0.5x sizing. Symbol replacement handles the contract math automatically.
Max Contracts
Stealth mode on. Filter to ES and NQ only. Max position of 2 contracts per follower. Use position limits to help enforce your own risk settings. Firm rules vary. Check the current rules before using any copier.
Inverse Hedge
Trade inversion enabled. Leader goes long, follower automatically goes short — instant long/short hedge across accounts.
From our Discord
"I love this copier so much."
"Just wanted to pop in and say that I love the XT copier. It's so fast. Really great job with it."
The Trade Copier is included with every CrossTrade Pro subscription.
Works entirely on NT8 — webhooks are optional.
Does CrossTrade copy NinjaTrader 8 trades?
Yes. CrossTrade's Trade Copier supports flexible, multi-directional copying between NinjaTrader 8 accounts. Configure each copier relationship in the CrossTrade app and test it in simulation before using a live account.
What is the difference between Order Mode and Execution Mode?
Order Mode mirrors order management, including limit orders, stops, brackets, modifications, and cancellations. Execution Mode sends market orders to follower accounts when the source receives a fill.
Can I use a NinjaTrader trade copier with a prop firm?
Rules for third-party trade copiers and automation differ by firm and can change. Check your firm's current rules before using any copier. CrossTrade does not override firm terms.
