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.

How Auto-Sync Works

  • Default interval: 103 seconds (minimum setting)

  • Continuous monitoring: Compares follower positions to leader positions

  • Automatic correction: Adjusts follower positions when misalignment detected

  • Recovery capability: Restores sync after connection loss or NT8 restart

Manual Sync Options

  • Sync Followers button: Immediate manual synchronization

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

  • Use cases: After manual position adjustments or configuration changes

The Auto-Sync Engine

Explain this as a "game-changing" insurance policy.

It runs continuously (every 3 seconds by default) to check and correct any discrepancies between leader and follower accounts based on the configuration.

Handles edge cases automatically: connection loss, accidental manual closes, missed signals, etc.

How It Works

  • Runs every X seconds (default 10, minimum 3)

  • Compares follower positions against leader positions

  • Automatically corrects any misalignment based on your copier configuration

  • Resumes immediately upon reconnection after any disruption

What It Handles

  • Partial fill mismatches

  • Missed signals during connection loss

  • Accidental manual closes

  • Position restoration after NT8 restart

  • Any changes that break alignment

Manual Sync

The Sync Followers button provides instant realignment when you need it—useful after manual position adjustments or configuration changes, or when Auto-Sync is disabled.
