HOW IT WORKS

The Next Generation
of Trading Automation.

CrossTrade gives you two execution paths: NinjaTrader 8 through the desktop Add-On, or a linked Tradovate account through cloud routing. Automate signals, copy trades, manage risk, and build custom integrations through one platform.

Choose your path: desktop NT8 or cloud Tradovate

NinjaTrader features run through the CrossTrade Add-On, which maintains a persistent WebSocket connection between NT8 and the cloud. Linked Tradovate accounts execute server-side and keep working while NinjaTrader is closed.

NinjaTrader 8 + Add-On

Receives orders from webhooks, REST, MCP, and the Trade Copier through the connected desktop Add-On. Supports NT8 order handling, ATM strategies, live account data, Auto-Reconnect, and Data Watchdog.

Linked Tradovate

Uses a secure OAuth link for cloud webhooks, REST, MCP, Account Manager, Strategy Sync, and signal-mode copying. No NinjaTrader installation or desktop Add-On is required.

Tradovate Order Management

Native order types, OCO, multibrackets, scale-outs, and triggerless continuous trailing are generally available. Fill-driven copying, target-fill breakeven, consensus-triggered trail activation, and durable trigger replay remain beta.

CLOUD EXECUTION

The platform

CrossTrade combines shared automation tools with platform-specific execution. Use NinjaTrader through the Add-On, link Tradovate for cloud execution, or use both.

Trade Copier

NinjaTrader supports Add-On-backed order and execution modes. Tradovate signal-mode copying is generally available and mirrors CrossTrade webhook commands server-side; fill-driven copying remains beta.

REST API & WebSocket

Control NinjaTrader through the connected Add-On or use the Tradovate REST and MCP surfaces directly in the cloud. Tradovate calls continue with NT8 closed; real-time WebSocket streaming remains NT8-specific.
