CrossTrade copies supported NinjaTrader 8 trades across the accounts you map. You can send a TradingView webhook into your NinjaTrader workflow, then use the trade copier for the account mappings and sizing rules you configure. Test the complete setup in simulation and review each account before live use.
Copy orders or executions between your NinjaTrader 8 accounts, or to and from a linked Tradovate account in public beta. Choose the copy mode, sizing, and limits for each relationship. The Trade Copier is included with CrossTrade Pro.
Copying between NinjaTrader 8 accounts is generally available. Copying to and from a linked Tradovate account entered public beta in August 2026 and is live on Pro plans. Behavior can still change while we tune it, so map your accounts and confirm the result in Demo before committing live funds.
Match the mode to the trading style. Mix and match across different copy relationships.
Mirrors every aspect of trade management — limit orders, stops, brackets, modifications, and cancellations. Perfect for strategies requiring exact order management and precise entry/exit timing.
Triggers immediate market orders on follower accounts whenever the source gets filled. Ideal for scalping, fast-moving strategies, or any situation where getting the fill matters more than replicating exact order mechanics.
A TradingView alert can start a NinjaTrader workflow. Once the trade reaches the source account, configure CrossTrade to copy supported trades to the follower accounts you mapped. Set the quantity rules for each account, then test the entry, exit, stop, target, and reconnect behavior in simulation before live use.
For webhook setup, read TradingView webhook automation. For account mappings and copier settings, read the NinjaTrader trade copier setup guide.
Every feature is configured per copier relationship. Build whatever architecture matches your trading strategy.
Any account can copy from any other account. Account A follows B, B follows C, C follows A — all concurrently. Build circular copying networks, hedging architectures, or any topology you need. No rigid leader/follower hierarchy.
COREOn a configurable interval (as fast as every 3 seconds), CrossTrade compares each follower's position against what it should be and corrects discrepancies automatically. Missed a fill? Connection dropped? NT8 crashed? Auto-Sync picks up where it left off without you touching anything.
AUTOMATIONSet any ratio per follower — 0.5x, 2x, or custom. Maximum position limits prevent any follower from exceeding its risk threshold regardless of leader activity. Essential for copying from large accounts to prop challenges.
CONFIGFlip follower trades to the opposite direction automatically. Build instant hedges across accounts with no manual intervention. All sizing and timing relationships are preserved — only the direction flips.
CONFIGFilter which instruments each copier handles. Symbol replacement translates contracts automatically — trade ES on the leader, execute MES on the follower with full contract math handled for you.
CONFIGManage multiple followers as a single unit. Create a group, configure settings once, start or stop all copiers with a single click. Essential when scaling to 5, 10, or 20 prop accounts from one leader.
SCALEFeatures that exist because real traders hit real edge cases. Connection drops, NT8 restarts, and reconnect storms are the technical edge cases the copier handles. Firm rules vary, so check your firm's current rules before using any copier.
Removes CrossTrade's automation metadata from copied orders, so trades use standard NT8 order naming conventions. Survives connection failures and full NT8 restarts. Firm rules vary, so check your firm's current rules before using any automation or copier.
PRIVACYWhen a broker connection drops and reconnects, NT8 fires a burst of order events as it re-syncs. Without protection, the copier replicates those as real trades. Reconnect Delay suppresses all copier activity for a configurable cooldown window, preventing phantom positions.
SAFETYBinds copying to your Account Manager monitors. Copying only runs while the corresponding monitor is active and within your risk parameters. Hit a daily loss limit? All linked copiers halt instantly.
SAFETYCopier configuration and sync logic live on CrossTrade's servers, not inside NT8. Your config survives crashes, restarts, and power failures. Changes made in the web dashboard propagate instantly to the Add-On without restarting NinjaTrader.
INFRASTRUCTURELeader trades ES, follower executes MES at 0.5x sizing. Symbol replacement handles the contract math automatically.
Stealth mode on. Filter to ES and NQ only. Max position of 2 contracts per follower. Use position limits to help enforce your own risk settings. Firm rules vary. Check the current rules before using any copier.
Trade inversion enabled. Leader goes long, follower automatically goes short — instant long/short hedge across accounts.

Public product and policy pages reviewed as of 2026-08-07. A missing public document is not proof that a private capability does not exist, so the table states only what each vendor currently publishes.
| Vendor | Copying model documented | Public developer surface | Published caveat |
|---|---|---|---|
| CrossTrade | Order and execution copying between mapped NinjaTrader 8 accounts | TradingView webhooks, REST, WebSocket, and MCP documentation | NinjaTrader 8 and the Add-On must remain online for NT8 copying |
| TradeSyncer | Cloud-configured copying across its published platform list | TradingView integration is published; no public REST or MCP reference was found | Its terms describe the service as open beta and acknowledge possible bugs or outages |
| TradersPost | Subscriptions and Parallel Account Execution route one signal to selected accounts; no broker-fill copier is documented | Its developer API is listed as planned | Actual fills can vary across accounts, according to its pricing page |
| QuantLynk | Cloud alert connection and copy/group trading across published futures platforms | No public REST, WebSocket, or MCP documentation was found | Its public pages document a 30-day money-back offer rather than a free trial |

A copier should fit the way you trade. Use CrossTrade when you need mapped NinjaTrader 8 accounts plus a path from TradingView alerts, REST or WebSocket controls, or supported MCP tools. If you only need a desktop-only copier and do not need webhook or API workflows, compare the setup, account controls, and testing process before you decide.

Trade Copier FAQ
Yes. A TradingView alert can route a trade into a configured NinjaTrader 8 source account, then CrossTrade can copy supported orders or executions to mapped follower accounts. Set sizing and controls per copier relationship, and test the complete entry and exit flow in simulation before live use.
Not for NinjaTrader 8 copying. NinjaTrader 8 and the CrossTrade Add-On must remain running, so local copying stops if the computer sleeps or NT8 closes. A Windows VPS can keep that desktop session online when your own computer is off.
Order Mode can mirror market, limit, stop, bracket, and OCO order management, including supported changes and cancellations. Execution Mode sends a market order to each follower when the source account receives a fill. Test the order lifecycle you plan to use before enabling a live copier.
Reconnect Delay suppresses the burst of stale events that NT8 can emit after a broker connection returns. Auto-Sync then compares configured follower positions and can correct supported discrepancies. Review the copier log and each account after any disconnect because broker fills and reconnect timing can differ.
Yes. Each copier relationship can use its own quantity ratio, fixed quantity, maximum position, instrument filter, and direction settings. CrossTrade Account Manager can add per-account monitoring controls. Verify every follower configuration in simulation before using live funds.
Policies differ by firm, account type, and program stage, and they can change. CrossTrade does not decide whether a firm permits copying and does not override firm terms. Check your firm's current rules and your specific account agreement before enabling a copier.
The Trade Copier is included with every CrossTrade Pro subscription.
Works entirely on NT8 — webhooks are optional.
