API Playground, Smarter Alert Filters & Auto-Hide Noise
New Features May 11, 2026
Test REST and WebSocket calls live in your browser, plus the full developer surface an AI agent needs to drive CrossTrade end-to-end. Cleaner Alert History with auto-hide for the noisy stuff.
API Playground
  • REST mode: Pick an endpoint from the OpenAPI spec, fill the body, watch the URL preview update as you swap accounts. Runs in your browser so you see exactly what your code will see.
  • WS / RPC mode: Edit the {api, args} envelope and send it through your add-on over the streaming wire format.
  • Add-on aware: The Send button gates on your NinjaTrader connection so you never fire a request into a void.
Built for AI Agents, Not Just Humans
  • Full OpenAPI 3.x spec published at docs/api/overview. Drop the JSON or YAML into any code-gen tool and you have a typed client in seconds.
  • llms.txt + llms-full.txt agent-readable docs so models pick up the platform context without a hand-written prompt.
Alert History
  • Active filter chips above the table for status, sort direction, and your auto-hide selection. Clear one at a time or all at once.
  • Auto-hide multi-select for the high-frequency noise: NT8 closed, account not connected, no positions on close alerts, trade-window rejections, missing market position. Saves to your account.
Pro Alert Channels: Telegram, Discord, Email & Webhooks
New Features May 04, 2026
Pro subscribers can now route CrossTrade alerts to Telegram, Discord, Email, or any HTTP webhook. Plus a refreshed TradingView Tools page.
New Outbound Channels (Pro)
  • Telegram: Plain-text messages through your own bot. Bring the token and chat ID, we deliver instantly.
  • Discord: Rich embed formatting via a server webhook. Drop the URL in once.
  • Email: Formatted HTML to your account address. Great as a backup channel or paper trail.
  • HTTP Webhook: JSON POST to any URL you control. Wire alerts into your own automations.

Configure everything from My Account → Alerts. Each destination requires a successful Send Test before it can be enabled, so an alert never quietly fails to a misconfigured endpoint.

TradingView Tools

Clearer per-tier sections and an automated access management system. More indicators and strategy scripts are landing over the next few weeks.

In-App Notifications & Shareable Performance Cards

Shareable Performance Cards

  • Calendar View from the Journal page. Your monthly P&L calendar with daily results.
  • Daily Snapshot from the Account Manager. Today's aggregate P&L from your account monitors.

Dark Mode, Journal Editing & In-House Docs

  • Docs sync automatically with whichever theme you pick.
