Introducing: Automated Profit & Loss Monitoring with CrossTrade Pro

Tired of letting emotions dictate your trading? Struggling to stick to your risk plan, or worry about managing daily P/L goals? As prop traders ourselves, we understand these pain points.

That’s why we built Active Account Management (AAM), the game-changing feature you’ve been waiting for in NinjaTrader 8, designed with prop traders in mind.

AAM is now available with the just-released CrossTrade Pro, the latest offering in the CrossTrade family of products.

Why You Need Active Account Management

AAM 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.

Intraday P/L Monitoring

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.

Customizable Boundaries

Set individual profit and loss limits per account. AAM 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.

Flexible, Responsive Triggers

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.

Complete Commission Transparency

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.

Automated End-of-Day Flattening

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.

Adaptive Alert Behaviors

Users specify individual alert behaviors for their individual accounts within AAM 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.

What's in the Dashboard?

AAM comes with an intuitive dashboard designed for both at-a-glance monitoring and deep-dive customization:

• See All Your Monitors: View each of your linked accounts along with all configuration options in a powerful centralized interface, with key trading parameters including current status, dollar P/L performance, your selected flatten parameters, open positions as well as interactive switches and links for individual configuration per unique trading account.
• Easy Setup: Quickly create new monitor setups for your accounts. It takes seconds to have a new control setting applied to your day-to-day automated workflows.
• Real-time Control: Quickly make revisions to P/L thresholds, trigger behaviors and time of day flat settings from an easy to use control panel interface. All enabled accounts can be activated and deactivated via a dynamic toggle on a per-account-basis; turn them off instantly and without hassle for maximum control during periods of high market volatility, and re-enable again once those pressures have passed.
• Automated Management: When P/L triggers engage, the accounts are stopped and marked for review; and reconfigured only after they’ve been deliberately adjusted and confirmed, keeping automated process and workflows free from interference from emotional reactions.
• Fast Reactivations: Manually "restart" a monitored account after a trigger has been activated and trading has stopped. This allows full re-configurability of thresholds or triggers.
• Audit Your Workflow: All operations are visible inside of an intuitive, time stamped record interface that is available with your AAM system, enabling easy error tracking, compliance oversight or just an audit of activity as a normal business-style review.

Who Benefits From Active Account Management?

• Day Traders: Automatically enforce trading parameters and eliminate poor emotionally charged choices while maximizing profit during more successful daily trading operations.
• Prop Traders: Precisely manage your trades to meet stringent prop firm parameters and maintain a level and consistent rate of production.
• Automated Traders: Fully managed control settings enable all parameters of position monitoring and alerts (during a daily period, from system start to auto-flattening) which may remove or diminish a dependency on complex manually written code for these types of basic requirements.
