CrossTrade vs PickMyTrade

Yes, and it costs less. Tradovate cloud routing is generally available on every CrossTrade plan starting at $29/mo. Link your account with OAuth, add destination=tradovate; to your alert, and orders route in the cloud with no desktop app and no VPS. PickMyTrade lists one plan at $50/mo, $135/quarter, or $500/year for the same TradingView-to-Tradovate route.

Not on like-for-like billing. PickMyTrade lists a single plan at $50/mo, $135/quarter, or $500/year, which works out to about $42/mo annually. CrossTrade Standard is $29/mo, or $279/year (about $23/mo), and covers the same TradingView-to-Tradovate automation plus native NinjaTrader 8, the trade journal, and the manual trading dashboard. CrossTrade Pro at $49/mo, or $469/year (about $39/mo), adds the Trade Copier, the Account Manager risk suite, and the full REST API, and stays under PickMyTrade on both monthly and annual billing.

CrossTrade. Saved ATM-style bracket templates, entries with attached targets, stops, and risk behavior, work on Tradovate through CrossTrade's cloud connection. PickMyTrade does offer several stop-loss and take-profit methods, including trailing stops and breakeven, but its documentation presents them as settings you configure on the alert or in copier settings rather than as a saved, reusable template you attach by name. If that has changed, tell us and we will update this page.

NinjaTrader is not listed among PickMyTrade's supported platforms. Their published broker list is Tradovate, Rithmic, Ironbeam, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, TradeLocker, ProjectX, Match Trader, Tradier, and cTrader. If NinjaTrader 8 is your platform, CrossTrade runs inside it through the NT8 Add-On and averages ~30ms alert-to-execution.

On NinjaTrader 8, CrossTrade averages ~30ms alert-to-execution through its native Add-On. PickMyTrade does not support NinjaTrader; it advertises sub-200ms average execution on the brokers it does support. On Tradovate both platforms go through Tradovate's cloud API, so raw speed is comparable there. The difference on Tradovate is what comes with the route: month to month CrossTrade Standard costs $21 less and includes the rest of the toolkit.

Yes. CrossTrade's Command Builder includes a JSON Converter that accepts PickMyTrade payload format and translates it to CrossTrade syntax. Paste the JSON, click convert, done.

Yes, and so does CrossTrade. Lucid, Tradeify, and other Tradovate-based funded firms link to CrossTrade through Tradovate's own OAuth (Link Demo covers evaluation and funded accounts), and CrossTrade flags every order it places as automated, which Tradovate requires. Check your firm's automation rules before going live; that responsibility is yours on either platform.

Yes. PickMyTrade offers a Tradovate trade copier: you place a trade on an admin Tradovate account and it mirrors in real time to your follower accounts, with a per-account quantity multiplier and the stop-loss and take-profit copied alongside the entry. Their documentation notes one admin account per copier setup, with unlimited followers under it, and it works across Tradovate-based prop firms. CrossTrade's copier covers both NinjaTrader 8 and Tradovate, runs in signal and fill-driven modes, and is included in Pro at $49/mo.

Broker breadth. PickMyTrade connects ten brokers in one dashboard, including Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, TradeLocker, ProjectX, Tradier, and cTrader, and it reaches stocks and options through Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, and Tradier. CrossTrade does not connect any of those directly. If you need brokers outside NinjaTrader 8 and Tradovate, PickMyTrade is the right tool.

Both offer trials. CrossTrade has a 7-day free trial with full feature access including Pro features. PickMyTrade offers a 5-day free trial. Test both with your actual workflow before committing.
