Multi-Directional Copying:

Traditional trade copiers force you into rigid, one-way relationships where designated "leaders" push trades to passive "followers." CrossTrade's multi-directional copying breaks these limitations entirely, allowing any NinjaTrader 8 account to simultaneously copy from and send trades to any other account in your network.

💡Our copier supports both internal trading entirely on NinjaTrader 8 or external trading from other platforms like TradingView or your own algos.

This revolutionary approach enables sophisticated trading architectures where Account A follows Account B, Account B follows Account C, and Account C can even follow Account A—all running concurrently. Build complex strategies where your main account copies to multiple accounts and feeds specific setups back to a master hedging account, or create circular copying networks for advanced risk management.

With multi-directional copying, you're not limited by account types or arbitrary hierarchies—live, demo, sim accounts can all participate as both sources and destinations, giving you the freedom to construct whatever copying architecture matches your trading strategy and risk management needs.

Order Mode vs. Execution Mode

Choose between two distinct copying modes designed for different trading styles.

Order Mode delivers ultra-precise synchronization by replicating every aspect of your trade management—limit orders, stops, brackets, modifications, and cancellations are mirrored exactly in real-time across accounts. This mode is perfect for strategies requiring meticulous order management and precise entry/exit timing.

Execution Mode focuses on speed and simplicity, triggering immediate market orders on follower accounts whenever the source account gets filled, bypassing the complexity of pending order replication. This approach is ideal for fast-moving strategies, scalping operations, or any situation where getting the fill matters more than replicating exact order mechanics.

Mix and match these modes across different copy relationships to optimize each account pair for its specific trading purpose.

Trade Inversion

Transform any follower account into an automatic hedge with trade inversion functionality.

When enabled, the follower account will execute trades in the opposite direction of the leader account, creating an instant, hands-free hedging relationship. This powerful risk management tool allows you to run your primary strategy normally on one account while simultaneously building inverse positions on another, providing built-in portfolio protection without manual intervention. Trade inversion is particularly valuable for testing strategy robustness, managing overall portfolio risk, or creating market-neutral positions across your account network.

The system maintains all position sizing and timing relationships while simply flipping the trade direction, ensuring your hedge remains perfectly synchronized with your primary positions.

Position Trade Controls

Take complete control over position sizing with flexible ratio-based scaling and built-in risk management. Set follower accounts to trade at any ratio of the source position—whether it's 0.5x for smaller accounts, 2x for aggressive scaling, or any custom ratio that fits your risk profile.

This feature is essential when copying from large accounts to prop firm challenges or scaling strategies across accounts of different sizes. Maximum position limits provide an additional safety layer, preventing follower accounts from exceeding predetermined risk thresholds regardless of source account activity.

Even if your main account executes unusually large positions, follower accounts will never breach their individual risk limits, ensuring each account stays within its appropriate risk parameters while maintaining proportional exposure to your strategy.

Filtering & Instrument Replacement

Take granular control over what gets copied and how with sophisticated instrument filtering and symbol replacement capabilities. Instrument filtering allows you to specify exactly which markets each copier should handle—configure one relationship to copy only ES and NQ futures while ignoring oil, gold, or currency trades from the same source account.
‍
This precision prevents unwanted exposure and keeps each follower account focused on its designated markets. Symbol replacement takes this flexibility further by automatically translating instruments during the copy process—when your source account trades ES, the follower can automatically execute the same strategy using MES, maintaining identical trade logic while adjusting for appropriate contract sizing.
‍
This feature is invaluable for copying from full-size accounts to micro accounts, or adapting strategies across different instrument classes while preserving all timing and risk management relationships. The system handles all contract mathematics automatically, ensuring proper proportional exposure regardless of the symbol substitutions.

Stealth Mode

Ensure complete prop firm compliance with Stealth Mode, which eliminates all traces of automation from your copied trades. Orders appear identical to manual entries with natural timing characteristics, proper naming conventions, and authentic order flow patterns that are indistinguishable from human trading activity.

This advanced masking technology protects prop traders from automation detection while maintaining full copying functionality. Stealth Mode's robust architecture can recover its order mapping relationships even after catastrophic failures like connection losses or complete NinjaTrader restarts, ensuring continuous operation without leaving automation signatures in your trading history.

This level of sophistication makes it the only copying solution truly built for the demanding compliance requirements of professional prop trading environments.

Note: CrossTrade is a technology provider offering a software service solution. We make no guarantee and assume no risk or if you chose to use our copier with your prop evaluation. It's your responsibility as the trader and particpant to verify the use of a 3rd-party copier is allowed.  

Auto-Sync Timer

Auto-Sync represents a paradigm shift in trade copying architecture, replacing complex edge-case management with intelligent, continuous synchronization. Instead of configuring numerous settings for partial fills, missed signals, or connection issues, Auto-Sync automatically monitors and realigns follower accounts every 3 seconds, ensuring perfect synchronization regardless of what happens.

Whether you accidentally close a position, experience a connection disruption, or encounter any other synchronization issue, Auto-Sync acts as an insurance policy that continuously fixes discrepancies based on your copier configuration.

This breakthrough technology eliminates the manual interventions and troubleshooting that plague traditional copiers, while the manual Sync Followers button provides instant realignment when needed. Upon reconnection after any disruption, Auto-Sync immediately resumes state synchronization, making it the most reliable copying solution available for professional trading operations.

Account Manager Tandem Mode

Tandem Mode binds copying behavior to your NinjaTrader Account Manager monitors. This isn't just a nice-to-have feature, it's essential risk management. In Tandem Mode, copying only runs while the corresponding Account Manager monitor is active and within your defined risk parameters. Hit a daily loss limit? Copying stops instantly. Breach a drawdown threshold? All copying relationships halt until you manually restart them.

This prevents the nightmare scenario where a copying relationship goes rogue after your main account gets flattened by risk management. No stray orders, no surprise positions, and no cleanup headaches.

The integration is seamless. CrossTrade monitors your Account Manager status in real-time and acts immediately when thresholds are breached. You maintain complete control while the system ensures copying never operates outside your risk boundaries.

💡Example Copiers

There are countless configurations you can deploy for your particular trading style and strategy. Here are a few basic examples of whats possible:
‍
1. Mini to Micro
Set up Account A (your follower) to copy to Account B (leader), with 0.5x sizing and MES contracts instead of ES.

2. Max Contracts
Enable stealth mode for prop firm compliance, filter to only copy ES and NQ trades, and set maximum position limits of 2 contracts per follower account. This ensures that your follower will never exceed a certain number of contracts and keep you within guidelines.
‍
3. Inverse Hedging
Create a hedging setup where your follower copies with trade inversion—automatically creating a long/short hedge across your two accounts.
