Protocols

Stop wrestling with NinjaScript

We're not C# programmers and we bet you aren't either. The CrossTrade API lets you interact with NinjaTrader from the languages and frameworks you actually use. Your existing infrastructure becomes your trading infrastructure.

Python # Place a market order from anywhere in the world
import requests

requests.post(
  "https://app.crosstrade.io/v1/api/accounts/sim101/orders",
  headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {secret_key}"},
  json={
    "instrument": "ES 06-26",
    "action": "BUY",
    "quantity": 2,
    "order_type": "MARKET",
    "tif": "DAY"
  }
)

What you can do

The same underlying infrastructure CrossTrade uses to execute hundreds of thousands of webhook orders daily — now accessible via your own code.
