How to personalize the Cross Over instrument for the Cross Order feature?

To personalize the Cross Order instrument for the Cross Order feature in Replikanto, you can modify the ReplikantoCrossOrderRelationship.json file.

Here's how:

• Locate the file: The ReplikantoCrossOrderRelationship.json file is located at \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom.
• Edit the file: You can add or edit instrument relationships within this file. The file contains a JSON structure that defines the cross-order relationships.
  • For example, to add a cross-order relationship between CL (Crude Oil) and MCL (Micro Crude Oil), you would modify the file to include this pairing.
  • An example of a modified file with a CL <> MCL relationship is provided in the sources.
  • You can create more elaborate changes as needed.
• Save the file: After making changes, save the ReplikantoCrossOrderRelationship.json file in the \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom directory. Do not change the file name.
• Restart NinjaTrader: After saving the file, restart NinjaTrader and reopen Replikanto for the changes to take effect.
• Access the Cross Order Feature: After restarting, you should be able to use the custom cross-order instrument relation within Replikanto.

Important Considerations:

• File Location: Ensure the modified file is placed in the correct directory: \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom.
• No Coded Limitation: There is no coded limitation within Replikanto.
• Replikanto Version: Replikanto version 1.4.5.4 or higher includes the CL <> MCL cross-order out of the box.
• Original File: You can find the original ReplikantoCrossOrderRelationship.json file inside the Replikanto zip file.
• Supported Instruments: Replikanto can copy orders from a leader account to a follower account by changing the instrument from micro to mini or vice-versa. However, cross orders between instruments with different prices, such as ETFs vs. futures, are not possible (for example, QQQ <> NQ and SPY <> ES).
• Cross Order Instruments: Replikanto has pre-defined cross order instruments. You can customize cross order instruments at any time.
• Multiple Instruments: Replikanto can run with several windows or tabs open in parallel. If you need to copy 2 or more symbols from a leader account to followers, open a new tab for each symbol.
• Expiration Dates: It is not possible to do a cross order trade between two futures instruments with different expiration dates.
