TL;DR: different animals. CrossTrade is a NinjaTrader 8 automation bridge — TradingView webhooks firing real NT8 orders on your own machine, with a copier attached. Trading Floor is a cloud copier for multi-account, multi-firm floors — nothing to keep running, every copy with a latency receipt (live). If your life is inside NT8, CrossTrade is genuinely great at that; if your life is running many funded accounts across platforms, that's us.
| Trading Floor | CrossTrade | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Cloud multi-account trade copier (browser + iOS) | NT8 webhook/automation bridge + copier; cloud service, orders execute locally in NT8 (Tradovate routes cloud-direct) |
| Needs your machine? | No — engine runs server-side | Yes for NT8 paths (machine or their Chicago VPS, $49–169/mo extra); no for Tradovate |
| Price | $25/mo (20 accounts) · $50/mo (120) · first month free | $29/mo Standard · $49/mo Pro (adds the Trade Copier) · $99/mo Elite · unlimited accounts · 7-day trial, no card |
| Platforms | Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TopstepX, Rithmic, Volumetrica, TradingView signals | NinjaTrader 8 (any NT8 broker), Tradovate direct, TradingView signals; no TopstepX/Rithmic-direct/Volumetrica found |
| Latency | ~42ms median measured per order, published live, outliers disclosed | Publishes ~30–34ms internal processing (excludes TradingView delivery + broker delays) — credit where due |
| Risk controls | Drawdown/daily-loss/profit-target guardians, one-click firm presets, per-account isolation | Account Manager auto-flatten monitors, ATM strategies, NT8-side controls |
If you automate TradingView strategies into NinjaTrader 8, CrossTrade is the most complete tool we know of: 25+ REST endpoints, ATM support, a strategy-sync engine that reconciles TradingView state against NT8 every few seconds, unlimited accounts on every tier, and honestly published internal latency (~30–34ms). Its MCP/AI-agent integration is ahead of the field. For that job, pick CrossTrade — some traders run it for automation and Trading Floor for the multi-firm floor.
It's a browser tab and an iPhone app, and it proves itself. No desktop app that has to stay running through the session, no VPS bill to make it reliable — run your floor from your phone. Open the floor, connect your logins with OAuth (or encrypted credentials where a broker has no OAuth), and every copy shows its own latency next to the fill — the same numbers we publish live for the whole platform. Median mirror is ~42ms measured on real production orders, and when a broker's wire is slow, the log says so instead of hiding it.
Risk guardians act before the firm does. Set a drawdown or daily-loss guardian per account and a breach auto-flattens and stops copying to that account — the eval-saving seatbelt, in plain English, with the trigger you set.
The price is a trading-tool price, with no per-account fees. One flat $25/mo runs a 20-account floor; $50/mo runs 120 — stack discounted evals without your copier bill stacking too. First month free, and if you're between evals you pause — your settings, journal, and streaks wait for you. No non-refundable fine print doing the retention work.
Ask where your accounts live. All-NT8, one or two accounts, strategy-driven → CrossTrade. A floor of funded accounts across Tradovate, TopstepX, Rithmic and Volumetrica, where per-account guardians and cross-firm mirroring are the job → Trading Floor. TradingView signals work here too — alerts fire your leader and the floor follows.
For multi-account, multi-firm floors, Trading Floor: a cloud copier that mirrors one leader across Tradovate, NinjaTrader-brokerage, TopstepX, Rithmic and Volumetrica accounts in ~42ms median (published live at tradingfloor.me/latency) with per-account risk guardians — no NT8 install and nothing that has to stay running.
For most of CrossTrade's functionality yes — orders execute locally inside NT8 on your machine (or a VPS), with Tradovate as the cloud-direct exception. Trading Floor needs no local platform: the engine runs server-side and connects to each broker's API directly.
Some traders do: CrossTrade for TradingView-to-NT8 strategy automation, Trading Floor for mirroring the resulting leader across a multi-firm floor. Be careful running two copiers on the same accounts — CrossTrade's own docs warn about duplicate orders and position mismatches when copiers overlap.
