Rithmic Connection Guide for NinjaTrader | Prop Firms
- David Koehler
This article walks through how to connect your Rithmic Prop firm account to NinjaTrader.
Important: Some prop firms may require you to sign agreement documents. Be sure to review their instructions carefully before proceeding.
Step 1: Download the NinjaTrader Desktop Platform
Please make sure you have the latest version of NinjaTrader Desktop installed on your computer through your NinjaTrader Account Dashboard.
If you don’t have a NinjaTrader Username and are unable to log into the Account Dashboard, you can visit this page for instructions on how to download NinjaTrader Desktop without a NinjaTrader Brokerage Account: How Can I Download NinjaTrader Desktop Without a NinjaTrader Brokerage Account?
Step 2: Enable Multi-Provider
Before connecting your Rithmic Prop firm Account, you need to enable Multi-Provider. Multi-Provider is not enabled by default in new installations of NinjaTrader Desktop.
- On the initial login screen, log into NinjaTrader Desktop using your NinjaTrader Account Dashboard Username and Password (the same credentials used to download NinjaTrader Desktop).
- Next enable “Multi-Provider” in the NinjaTrader Control Center by navigating to Tools > Options.
- Under General, check the box next to ‘Multi-provider’, then hit OK.
After enabling this setting, restart your platform. The “Configure” button will then appear in the Control Center > Connections dropdown, allowing you to create your prop firm account.
After restarting the platform, select configure in the NinjaTrader Control Center Connections tab.
Next, double-click “Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage” from the list of available connections, or select it and click the “Add” button at the bottom of the window. Once “My NinjaTrader” appears in the Configured section below, you can edit the Connection Properties.
Enter the Rithmic username and password provided by your prop firm service in the fields on the right. Then, choose your prop firm from the drop-down menu. If your prop firm is not listed, select the “Rithmic Paper Trading” option nearest to your location.
Lastly, go to the NinjaTrader Control Center > Connections > Select your new data feed.
