Trading Windows

Set up to 5 Trading Windows per account

After adding an account to the NT Account Manager (NAM), you can optionally set up to 5 unique account-level Trading Windows by clicking on the "gear" icon in the Actions column for each account.

Account-level trading windows behave similarly to both the global trade window and and alert-level trade window, with some exception.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd Trading Windows have been set

To set a trade window, simply click the "Enabled" checkbox next to one of the window labels (ordering doesn't matter), and set both a "Start" and "End" time, which are both set in Eastern Time (NYC).

How It Works

When a webhook alert signal arrives at CrossTrade, we evaluate whether or not the signal should proceed by looking at many different possible configuration settings. Among them, the global controls in the XT Control Panel, the alert-level controls in each message, and any settings at the account-level in NAM.

At the global level, a single trade window can be set that applied to all inbound signals. Alternatively, trade window can be set that applies to the individual alert/order. With NAM you apply up to 5 distinct windows per account.

If the arrival time of an alert signal is inside any of the five trade windows, the signal is allowed to proceed. If the alert is outside all five trade windows, the alert is blocked and the alert is logged with the reason why it was blocked.
