Receiver Configuration

The receiving side of Signal Share is intentionally light. On each of your receiving NinjaTrader installations, the CrossTrade login for that installation accepts the invite from your broadcasting login and picks a target account. From there on, every signal lands on that account through your normal order pipeline, behind whatever risk controls you already have set up.

Every receiving account must be yours, owned and controlled by you. Signal Share is not for following other traders or receiving trades from other people.

Accepting an invite

Your broadcasting login invites each receiving login by the email address on that CrossTrade login. The invite arrives by email with an accept link, and it also shows under Pending Invites on the receiving login's /user/signal-share page. Receiving works on every plan.

When you accept an invite, CrossTrade shows the Risk Release Agreement. You read it, tick the two acknowledgements, and sign your name (it must match your account name) before the connection becomes active.

The Risk Release covers:

• Service scope. Signal Share is signal-relaying infrastructure. CrossTrade does not endorse, evaluate, or verify any broadcast.
• Strategy Sync. Your receiver runs CrossTrade's Strategy Sync execution logic when the broadcast source has the Sync Strategy setting on, mapping the broadcasting account's intent into orders on your receiving account.
• No financial advice. CrossTrade does not provide trade signals or recommend traders. Every signal is generated by the broadcasting login.
• Technology risk. Signals may arrive late, out of order, or not at all. Your broker may reject or misexecute orders.
• Assumption of risk and release of liability. You assume full responsibility for orders that land on your account.

You can re-read the agreement at any time from the Risk Release button on /user/signal-share.

After you accept, the connection appears under Your Connections on the Receiving Signals tab.

Mapping the target account

Every connection needs one piece of configuration from you: the target account on this NinjaTrader installation that should receive the orders.

You pick from the list of accounts your CrossTrade NT8 add-on currently sees. The mapping is per connection, so you can:

• Receive several broadcast sources on the same account.
• Change the target account at any time. The change takes effect on the next signal.

The broadcasting login never sees the account name.

Scaling to a different contract size

Signal Share itself always mirrors the broadcasting account one-for-one. There is no contract-size setting on a connection. If the broadcasting account places 4 contracts, the receiving installation places 4 contracts on the mapped account.

To trade a different contract size, layer the Trade Copier on top of Signal Share on the receiving installation. The pattern is:

1. Point your Signal Share connection at a NinjaTrader Sim account.
2. In the Trade Copier, set that Sim account as a leader and the account (or accounts) you actually want to trade as followers.
3. Use the Copier's ratio, max-contract caps, and instrument replacements (ES to MES, for example) to scale however you want.

Pausing and resuming

Each connection has a status:

Status	What it means
pending	Invite sent. This login has not accepted yet.
active	Live. Broadcast orders land on your mapped account.
paused	Paused on this receiving login. No signals are executed. The broadcaster is unaffected. Useful for short breaks without removing setup.

Toggle the status from the Receiving Signals tab. Pausing is receiver-side only. The broadcasting login does not see it and keeps sending to your other receiving logins.

Disconnecting

Disconnecting removes the mapping and stops this login from receiving that broadcast source. The source's Connections count drops by one. There is no undo, but your broadcasting login can send a fresh invite at any time.

Receiver-side controls that still apply

A Signal Share order is just an order. Every protection on your NinjaTrader still runs:

• Opposing Position Protection can reject an inbound signal that would put on an opposing position.
• Strategy locks can block a signal that would touch a tagged position, based on your chosen strategy-tag mode.
• Account Manager monitors. Trailing drawdown, daily loss limits, auto-flatten, and the kill switch all still apply. A signal that would breach a monitor is blocked by the monitor, not by Signal Share.
• Account Manager trading rules. Trading windows, contract caps, and so on, run exactly as they do for any other order.

Multiple connections on one account

You can attach more than one connection to the same target account. The receiver does no cross-connection coordination. Each source's orders are placed in the order they arrive. If two of your broadcast sources trade the same instrument at the same time, the result is two independent orders on this account.

Treat each connection as its own strategy. Use separate instruments per source, or use strategy tags on each connection, so positions stay attributable to a single source.
