CrossTrade Mobile is an Android companion for the NinjaTrader 8 already running on your PC or VPS. Check P&L, close positions, flatten accounts, cancel orders, manage your CrossTrade copiers and reconnect data feeds from your phone. Your linked Tradovate accounts are right there too.
Free to install. Sign in with a CrossTrade account on any active plan or free trial. New here? Start a 7-day trial.
How it works
When you tap Flatten, the app doesn't open a screen-sharing session or log in to a rented machine. It asks CrossTrade to flatten that account, and CrossTrade hands the request to the NT8 Add-On already running inside your NinjaTrader. It's the path a TradingView alert takes, pointed the other way.
A native Android app built for the job: big targets, live numbers, and a confirmation before anything changes.
In your pocketSigns you in, checks the request belongs to your account, and routes it. Tradovate accounts are handled right here, through Tradovate's API.
Our serversThe NT8 Add-On you already run carries it out: flatten, cancel, close, connect a data feed, report positions and P&L.
Your PC or your VPSNinjaTrader keeps running exactly where it does today. You don't move anything, rent anything or open a remote session.
Why not just use remote desktop?
Push notifications, the Account Manager and the Trade Copier follow your plan, as they do on the web. See what you need.
Desktop NT8, mobile controls
NinjaTrader offers its own brokerage mobile app. CrossTrade is a separate companion for the NT8 installation you already run, with access through the CrossTrade NT8 Add-On. If you want to check that installation’s account state, control CrossTrade copiers or reconnect one of its data feeds, this is the workflow the CrossTrade app is built around.
You do not move NT8 onto Android. It stays running on your PC or existing VPS. The phone provides native controls rather than mirroring the full Windows desktop.
What you can do
Every open position and working order across your accounts, with live P&L. Close a single position, flatten an account or cancel its orders, and confirm before it goes.
See each account's status and why one has stopped, unblock its signals when you're ready, and edit its daily profit target, loss limit, trailing drawdown and end-of-day flattening.
From the Accounts screen you can also open NinjaTrader's data feed connections and connect or disconnect them.
Flatten Everything closes every open position and cancels working orders on both platforms. Cancel All Orders pulls every resting order and leaves your positions alone. Block Trading Around News is one switch away.
Push notifications for the alerts you choose: a monitor stopping, an auto-flatten firing, the NT8 Add-On going offline, a broker connection stalling. The Alerts screen shows how each of today's alerts landed.
Pause and resume copiers and adjust follower sizing on NinjaTrader and Tradovate, without opening a laptop.
Closed trades, daily P&L and performance scores from your trading journal, filtered by account. Share a card of today's numbers in two taps.
Flip the switch at the top of any screen to see your Tradovate accounts. They're reached through Tradovate's API, so nothing has to be running on your computer at all.
First phone-to-desktop check
Open NinjaTrader and confirm the CrossTrade NT8 Add-On is connected. Sign in on Android, select NinjaTrader, and compare the same account’s positions and P&L with the desktop. That verifies the route before you try an action.
For a first control demonstration, use a simulation account. Review an existing simulated position on both screens, confirm its close from the app, then refresh and inspect positions and working orders in NT8. The step-by-step check explains what to verify if the result is delayed or uncertain.

No. CrossTrade is a separate Android companion app. It reaches the NinjaTrader 8 installation on your PC or VPS through the CrossTrade NT8 Add-On, and it also supports linked Tradovate accounts. NinjaTrader’s own brokerage mobile app is a separate product with its own account and platform access.
Yes. The CrossTrade app lets you pause or resume your CrossTrade copiers and adjust follower sizing. NinjaTrader-based copying still runs through your connected NT8 installation. Copier controls require the appropriate CrossTrade plan.

For NinjaTrader 8, NinjaTrader must be running with the NT8 Add-On connected, the same as for TradingView alerts. If the add-on goes offline, the app tells you and can send you a push. For Tradovate, nothing has to be running: CrossTrade reaches Tradovate accounts from the cloud.
Every account your NinjaTrader 8 is connected to through the add-on, whatever the connection, plus every Tradovate account you have linked to CrossTrade. A switch on each screen moves between NinjaTrader and Tradovate.

Open testing is Google Play's public early-access track. Anyone can install the app from the Play Store. It is complete and in daily use, and updates arrive often as we add features and fix what testers report.
Every action that changes an account, closing a position, flattening, cancelling orders or disconnecting a data feed, asks you to confirm before anything is sent. If the app cannot confirm the result, it tells you to refresh before trying again so nothing is sent twice.
Setup, push notifications and troubleshooting are in the CrossTrade Mobile documentation.
CrossTrade Mobile is free to install and open to every CrossTrade user.
