CrossTrade automates NinjaTrader 8 through an add-on on your computer and Tradovate through its cloud, with webhooks, a copier, risk tools and an API. If you don't want NinjaTrader running, copy between platforms, trade forex accounts or take signals from Telegram, another tool may fit better. Updated Nov 11, 2026 by the Copygram team. We make Copygram, so this page says where it fits and what it doesn't connect. See our editorial standards.

CrossTrade's NinjaTrader 8 path runs through an add-on inside NinjaTrader, which has to stay open and connected; its VPS is a separate subscription from $59 a month. Only its Tradovate path runs in the cloud. Tradesyncer, TradersPost and Copygram run on their own servers for every account they connect, and PickMyTrade does for its futures brokers.
CrossTrade's copiers stay inside one broker: Tradovate to Tradovate, or accounts in the same NinjaTrader 8 installation. Tradesyncer and Tradecopia copy across Tradovate, Rithmic and ProjectX accounts. Copygram copies between Tradovate, NinjaTrader and MetaTrader in one Room, but doesn't connect Rithmic or ProjectX.
CrossTrade supports two brokers, NinjaTrader 8 and Tradovate. Copygram also connects MetaTrader 4 and 5, TradeLocker, DXtrade, MatchTrader and OANDA, and Duplikium connects MetaTrader, cTrader and DXtrade.
CrossTrade takes TradingView webhooks and API commands, and can send its own alerts to Telegram, but its pages don't describe reading trades from a Telegram channel. Copygram reads Telegram channels and groups as signal sources, on its Pro plan and up.

It depends on what you'd leave it for. To copy between platforms without NinjaTrader open, to add MetaTrader or TradeLocker accounts, or to copy Telegram signals, Copygram covers what CrossTrade doesn't: see Copygram vs CrossTrade. For Rithmic or ProjectX accounts, which Copygram doesn't connect, compare the other copiers on this page.
Yes. Copygram connects NinjaTrader accounts with a broker sign-in, like Tradovate, and copies from its cloud, so NinjaTrader doesn't have to run. The other cloud copiers on this page work the same way for the brokers they connect.
None of the copiers we profile is free for ongoing live trading. Copygram refunds first-time subscribers who ask within 7 days, so you can test it on your own accounts first.
