⚡ NetLabs TradeLink
A local NinjaTrader ↔ MT5 bridge for hedged prop firm and funded accounts.
TradeLink is built for traders who want to run a prop-side or funded-side trade while reducing net exposure through a backend MT5 hedge. It combines an easy-to-install NinjaTrader AddOn, a local web app control center, and a practical hedge workflow designed for the reality of drawdowns, payout targets, and rule-sensitive trading.
What TradeLink does
TradeLink helps coordinate the parts of a hedge workflow that are easy to get wrong manually: direction, sizing, tickets, sync state, and restart recovery.
NinjaTrader AddOn
Launch TradeLink from the NinjaTrader Control Center New menu. The AddOn sends bridge/sync commands and reports stop, target, and fill details.
MT5 backend order handling
Connect to a configured terminal64.exe path, then place and manage backend orders with ticket-specific close behavior.
Built for prop-account risk control
The main value is not “more trades”; it is reducing unnecessary exposure while you work through prop firm rules or protect funded-stage profits. Used correctly, a hedge can reduce the chance that a single directional move destroys the account before the campaign has time to pay.
A hedge can reduce or, in specific balanced setups, largely neutralise directional exposure. It does not remove execution, spread, slippage, platform, broker, liquidity, or rule-compliance risk.
