CrossTrade Partner Program · Invite-only
You built the community. Now build the product they trade with.
Bring Tradovate trading, account tools and automation into your own app or website. Build on the CrossTrade infrastructure that serves thousands of prop traders.
Tradovate only. The Partner API does not support NinjaTrader 8.
An audience is a starting point
A trading community can become a trading product. A website can become an account dashboard. Your software can offer automation without rebuilding the broker connection, member authorization and execution services underneath it.
For communities & creators
Put authorized account information and trading workflows inside the experience your audience already knows. Keep the membership and the customer relationship with your business.
For software businesses
Build account dashboards, trade-review tools or order-management interfaces using a documented REST API and a separate authorization for each member.
For automation developers
Configure supported Tradovate monitors, copiers and ATM templates from your backend. Let customers use your interface while CrossTrade runs the automation.
Spend your engineering time on what makes your product worth using. Connect to services already built for the operational details of trading.
The Partner API opens the door to CrossTrade's Trading and Management APIs for your members. It handles their lifecycle and authorization, so each request reaches the right customer's accounts.
01 · Partner API
Create funded CrossTrade seats, issue hosted Connect links, follow connection status and manage membership. Read events and usage as your business grows.
02 · Trading API
Read Tradovate accounts, positions, orders and fills. Place and manage orders within the access each member grants your application.
03 · Management API
Configure supported Tradovate monitors, copiers and ATM templates. Delegated access covers these resources, rather than every retail account setting.
For your own accounts, Trading API access starts with Pro and the Management API requires Elite. Serving customers through the Partner API requires an approved Partner subscription.
Your member links Tradovate and authorizes your app on CrossTrade's hosted page. Your backend receives scoped tokens, not their broker password.
Trading your own account and connecting your customers are different jobs. CrossTrade's Partner Program gives approved businesses a defined route to customer-authorized Tradovate access through our APIs.
Read the Tradovate API access guide →Your Partner subscription combines a monthly base fee with metered seat-day usage. You fund your members' CrossTrade access, and your application handles the product you sell them. We'll discuss rates and your intended scale during onboarding.

Tell us what you're building, where your audience is and how you want to use Tradovate. We'll review your application and work through the integration fit, pricing and onboarding with you.
Business owners, website operators, trading communities and software developers building a product for their own customers. You provide the application and customer experience. CrossTrade provides member onboarding and supported Tradovate trading and automation infrastructure.
No. The Partner API is for Tradovate only. Delegated Trading and Management access does not include NinjaTrader 8. CrossTrade’s separate retail Trading API supports both NT8 and Tradovate for your own accounts.
Applications are open, and access is currently invite-only. Tell us about your business, your use case and the members you expect to serve. We review the fit and discuss pricing and onboarding before enabling Partner access.
For an approved CrossTrade Partner integration, your customers connect Tradovate through CrossTrade’s hosted Connect flow. Your backend uses a CrossTrade OAuth client and member tokens to call CrossTrade’s supported APIs. You are integrating with CrossTrade, rather than registering your own direct Tradovate OAuth application.
You build and host your own application. CrossTrade supplies the APIs and hosted connection flow. Members see CrossTrade during connection and consent; their day-to-day product experience is yours.
Partner subscriptions combine a monthly base fee with usage billed per member seat-day. Rates are discussed during onboarding. Your business funds its members’ CrossTrade seats, and you can inspect usage through the Partner API.
You can build for customers with supported Tradovate accounts, including eligible prop firm accounts. Account eligibility, customer authorization and each firm’s rules determine what can run. Partner access does not override those rules.
