Auto-Sync Engine
Auto-Sync is CrossTrade's continuous synchronization system that monitors and corrects position alignment between leader and follower accounts. Rather than requiring you to configure settings for every possible edge case—partial fills, missed signals, connection drops—Auto-Sync handles them automatically by constantly comparing follower positions against leader positions and correcting any discrepancies it finds.
Think of it as an insurance policy for your copier. If you accidentally close a position, lose connection, restart NinjaTrader, or encounter any other issue that breaks alignment, Auto-Sync detects the mismatch and fixes it on the next cycle. This eliminates the manual intervention and troubleshooting that plague traditional copiers.

Recovery capability: Restores sync after connection loss or NT8 restart
Manual Sync Options

Available when: Auto-Sync is disabled or immediate sync needed
