NinjaTrader 8 already has the execution engine, the ATM templates, the NinjaScript strategies, and your data feed. What it has never had is a way in from outside the desktop. The CrossTrade NT8 Add-On takes all that to the next level with webhooks, a REST API, AI Agents and a full Account Manager and Trade Copier.
The deepest desktop toolset in retail futures, and the platform most prop firms hand you on day one. CrossTrade does not replace any of it.
NT8 compiles and runs strategies written in C#, on your machine, against your feed. CrossTrade adds the remote half: enable, disable, and monitor a deployed strategy from anywhere, and let Strategy Sync catch a position mismatch before it costs money.
ATM templates attach stops, targets, and self-tightening trailing stops to an entry, managed by the platform. CrossTrade invokes them by name from an incoming command, so an automated entry gets the same bracket you use by hand.
The Strategy Analyzer tests and optimizes against historical data before a contract is at risk. CrossTrade runs backtests remotely too, so an AI client can propose a change, test it, and hand you the result.
A single NT8 install can hold Sim, Live, and several funded accounts at once. CrossTrade adds the multi-account layer NT8 leaves to you: copy between them with independent sizing, and hold each to its own loss limit and trailing drawdown.
NinjaTrader 8 is a desktop application. Its engine, its order types, and its market data all live on your machine, and nothing outside that machine can talk to them. The CrossTrade NT8 Add-On installs inside NinjaTrader and gives the running platform an address, so a command from anywhere becomes an order on your desktop in about 30 milliseconds.
That command can come from a webhook, a REST call, an AI client over MCP, another account you are copying, or a risk rule that fired on our servers while you were away from the screen. To connect TradingView to NinjaTrader 8, point an alert at your CrossTrade webhook URL and it joins the same pipeline.
Because the Add-On lives inside NinjaTrader rather than beside it, CrossTrade can do what cloud-only tools cannot: read live market data, see every fill the moment it happens, drive your ATM templates by name, and copy manual trades between accounts as they execute.
Anyone can claim NinjaTrader support. Very few are approved for it.
CrossTrade is a vetted vendor in the official NinjaTrader Ecosystem. Our multi-account Trade Copier is approved by NinjaTrader, and our Tradovate connection runs on partner-level OAuth access to the Tradovate API, a program that is closed to new applicants. When funded accounts depend on the connection, official access matters: no password sharing, no screen-scraping, no workaround that breaks on the next platform update.
One install connects the whole CrossTrade suite to your NinjaTrader 8.
Any alert source becomes a live NT8 order in ~30 ms: market, limit, stop, OCO, ATM templates by name, multi-account placement, and trading-window guards.
The world's first REST API for NT8. Place, flatten, cancel, and stream live quotes from Python, JavaScript, or anything that can make an HTTP call.
Approved by NinjaTrader for multi-account copying. Mirror webhook or manual trades across accounts with independent sizing, desync detection, and stealth mode.
Profit targets, loss limits, and trailing drawdowns per account. When a threshold hits, positions flatten and the account locks until you say otherwise.
Broadcast your signal to unlimited NT8 machines over a 5 ms Chicago relay, with per-source instrument allowlists and a full audit log on both ends.
Position-state tracking that catches a missed alert or a network blip and corrects the mismatch before it costs money.
Download once, create your alerts, and let your desktop or our Chicago VPS do the executing.
Download the free Add-On from your CrossTrade dashboard, import it into NinjaTrader 8, and connect your data feed.
A TradingView alert, a REST call, or an AI client. All three speak the same command syntax, and the XT Alert Builder writes it for you.
