# Tandem Mode

Tandem Mode binds copying behavior to your NinjaTrader Account Manager monitors. This isn't just a nice-to-have feature, it's essential risk management. In Tandem Mode, **copying only runs while the corresponding Account Manager monitor is active** and within your defined risk parameters. Hit a daily loss limit? Copying stops instantly. Breach a drawdown threshold? All copying relationships halt until you manually restart them.\
\
This prevents the nightmare scenario where a copying relationship goes rogue after your main account gets flattened by risk management. No stray orders, no surprise positions, and no cleanup headaches.\
\
The integration is seamless. CrossTrade monitors your Account Manager status in real-time and acts immediately when thresholds are breached. You maintain complete control while the system ensures copying never operates outside your risk boundaries.
