FAQ

Copygram vs CrossTrade FAQ

Can CrossTrade copy from NinjaTrader to Tradovate?

No. CrossTrade's docs say its copiers don't bridge the two: Tradovate copies to Tradovate, and NinjaTrader 8 to NinjaTrader 8. Copygram has a NinjaTrader to Tradovate route.

Do I need to keep NinjaTrader open?

With CrossTrade's NinjaTrader path, yes. Copygram connects NinjaTrader accounts with a broker sign-in, like Tradovate, and copies from its cloud.
