Automate BluSky Trading with TradingView
CrossTrade connects your TradingView strategies to your BluSky Evaluation, BluLive, Sim Funded, and Live Brokerage accounts. Trade copier across up to 5 accounts. 30% consistency rule and 15-minute pre-close auto-flatten enforcement.
Three steps from TradingView alert to BluSky Trading order fill
Use the NT8 Add-On for Rithmic/NinjaTrader routes, or link an eligible Tradovate account for direct cloud routing with destination=tradovate. Verify that your specific BluSky Trading account can be linked and that BluSky Trading permits your intended automation.
Connect your account
Install the CrossTrade Add-On for a Rithmic/NinjaTrader route, or link an eligible Tradovate account for direct cloud routing without NT8.
Configure your TradingView alerts
Use the free XT Alert Builder indicator to format your webhook payload visually. No JSON required. Map entries, exits, and ATM brackets to dropdown menus.
Sync strategy state
CrossTrade tracks your TradingView strategy's intended position against your BluSky Trading account's actual fills. If they desync, auto-flatten reconciles before drawdown becomes a problem.
Every BluSky Trading rule, mapped to a CrossTrade safeguard
BluSky Trading's drawdown and risk rules fail more traders than the market does. CrossTrade enforces each rule at the platform level, so a strategy bug or a missed manual flatten never costs you the account.
EOD Trailing Drawdown (Premium)
Trails based on highest unrealized balance
Premium accounts use a trailing drawdown that tracks your account's highest unrealized balance. Big intraday gains move the floor up permanently.
Track running drawdown floor per account. Auto-flatten when intraday equity approaches breach.
Static Drawdown (Static Plans)
Fixed floor that never moves
Static plans are easier to manage, your floor is calculated once and stays there. Most forgiving option for traders who hold trades through volatility.
Set fixed loss thresholds matching your Static plan's drawdown amount. Auto-flatten before breach.
30% Consistency Rule
Single day can't exceed 30% of profit/loss
BluSky's consistency rule is unique: exceed 30% on a day and your profit target adjusts upward by the excess (you don't fail, but the bar moves).
Set per-account profit cap thresholds. Auto-flatten when the day's P/L approaches 30% of total target.
15-Minute Pre-Close Rule
Auto-liquidate 15 minutes before market close
BluSky requires positions closed 15 minutes before market close. The platform's auto-liquidation is a backup, not a guarantee, manual close is required.
Schedule auto-flatten at 4:45 PM ET (or 4:30 PM ET for buffer). Configurable per account.
News Trading Allowed
BluSky permits news event trading (with risk responsibility)
Unlike most prop firms, BluSky allows news trading. Volatility windows are entirely the trader's responsibility.
Track strategy state through news volatility. Auto-flatten when drawdown approaches breach during high-impact events.
Up to 5 simultaneous accounts
Any combination of Eval / BluLive / Sim Funded / Live
BluSky allows 5 total accounts across all stages. Running parallel accounts at different stages requires synchronized execution.
Mirror one master to up to 5 BluSky accounts. Any stage to any stage. Independent sizing per account.
Copy one strategy across all your BluSky Trading accounts
BluSky Trading permits 5 total accounts (any combination of stages). CrossTrade's Trade Copier mirrors a master account to followers with independent sizing, real-time desync detection, and execution validation on every order.

Per-account risk controls with BluSky Trading's exact rule values

- Daily loss limits configured per-account independently
- Auto-flatten at session close, or earlier if you choose

Common questions about CrossTrade with BluSky Trading
Does BluSky Trading allow automated trading and webhooks?
Yes. BluSky Trading permits copy trading and algorithmic strategies on funded and evaluation accounts. As with any prop firm, verify your account's current automation policy with BluSky Trading before going live, since rules can change and may differ by account type. CrossTrade works well for webhook-delivered signals and copy trading on accounts where automation is permitted.
How fast does CrossTrade send TradingView alerts to my BluSky Trading account?
On NinjaTrader routes, average alert-to-execution time is approximately 30 milliseconds end-to-end through the CrossTrade Add-On. Direct Tradovate uses cloud routing, and timing varies with network and Tradovate API conditions.
Can CrossTrade enforce BluSky Trading's drawdown and daily loss limits?
Yes. CrossTrade's Account Manager lets you configure trailing drawdown thresholds, daily loss limits, and trailing stop targets per account independently. When a limit triggers, CrossTrade flattens open positions and locks the account from new orders for the rest of the session, before BluSky Trading's auto-liquidation engine fires.
Will CrossTrade work with my BluSky Trading account platform?
CrossTrade supports two routes where the BluSky Trading account offers them: Rithmic/NinjaTrader through the NT8 Add-On, or an eligible linked Tradovate account through direct cloud routing with destination=tradovate and no Add-On. Verify that your specific BluSky Trading account can be linked and that BluSky Trading permits your intended automation.
Can I copy one trade across all my BluSky Trading accounts?
Yes. CrossTrade's Trade Copier mirrors a single master account to up to 5 BluSky Trading followers with independent sizing per follower. You can run one strategy on a master and have it replicate across multiple accounts of varying sizes, with sizing matched to each account's drawdown buffer.
Does CrossTrade automatically flatten my BluSky Trading positions before session close?
Yes. The Account Manager includes a configurable end-of-day flatten time per account. BluSky Trading requires positions closed by 15 minutes before market close. Set CrossTrade to flatten 5 to 10 minutes earlier to provide buffer before the platform-level enforcement window.
Will using CrossTrade violate any BluSky Trading rule?
CrossTrade routes TradingView signals to supported NinjaTrader or linked Tradovate accounts and manages risk thresholds. Whether automation is permitted depends on BluSky Trading's current policy and your account type. Verify both before using automated signals or copying.
How much does CrossTrade cost on top of my BluSky Trading evaluation fee?
CrossTrade starts at $29 per month for the Standard plan with unlimited webhook alerts and unlimited NT8 accounts. The Pro plan is $49 per month and adds Trade Copier, Account Manager, and REST API access. Both plans include a free 7-day trial. CrossTrade billing is independent of any prop firm fees.
Does CrossTrade work during BluSky Trading evaluations or only on funded accounts?
Both, subject to account eligibility. CrossTrade supports BluSky Trading evaluation and funded accounts the same way; verify that your specific account can be linked and that BluSky currently permits automation. Technical compatibility does not override those rules. Many traders use the evaluation phase to validate their automation before moving to funded.
What happens if my TradingView strategy desyncs from my BluSky Trading account?
CrossTrade's Strategy Sync transmits your TradingView strategy's intended market position with every alert, not just buy/sell signals. If the intended state and the actual connected account position disagree, CrossTrade auto-flattens or auto-corrects based on your config. This prevents a missed exit fill from turning into a runaway loss past the trailing drawdown.
