4PropTrader’s current setup guide describes dxFeed. PropFirmConnector requires active Rithmic credentials; it cannot connect a dxFeed account. Use the steps below only after 4PropTrader confirms your existing account is still on Rithmic.
PropFirmConnector is an independent third-party add-on and is not affiliated with or endorsed by 4PropTrader, NinjaTrader, or Rithmic.
The current connection page gives dxFeed instructions for VolSys/VolBook, Quantower and ATAS. Its browser title still refers to Rithmic, but the instructions themselves cover dxFeed. The Futures FAQ also names dxFeed connectivity.
Those pages do not confirm whether previously issued Rithmic accounts remain active. Check your specific account with 4PropTrader; this guide does not establish that new Rithmic accounts are available.
Follow 4PropTrader’s dxFeed platform instructions.
PropFirmConnector: This Rithmic connection does not accept dxFeed credentials.
Ask 4PropTrader to confirm the account is active and which NinjaTrader access it permits.
PropFirmConnector: Use the 4PropTrader profile only after confirming the issued Rithmic login and System.
Confirm the account’s feed, active trading username and assigned System with 4PropTrader. A website login, older welcome email or saved platform profile alone does not establish current Rithmic access.
Check 4PropTrader’s current connection instructions (opens in a new tab)If your account is on dxFeed, stop here and use the firm’s dxFeed instructions. For an existing Rithmic account, obtain the current System and credentials from 4PropTrader, sign in to R|Trader Pro and complete any required agreements.
Once the issuer confirms your Rithmic account and login, import PropFirmConnector into NinjaTrader 8. Installing it does not change the account’s provider or activate an inactive account.

Correction — October 12, 2026: Removed the earlier claim that 4PropTrader currently offers both feeds and permits any Rithmic platform. Its current instructions describe dxFeed. This documentation review does not establish a migration date or the status of individual accounts.
No. PropFirmConnector connects Rithmic accounts to NinjaTrader. Use the platform instructions supplied for your dxFeed account.
No. The software profile is not confirmation of active credentials, account availability or native NinjaTrader eligibility. Verify those details with the account issuer before using it.
No. PropFirmConnector is an independent NinjaTrader add-on and is not affiliated with or endorsed by 4PropTrader, NinjaTrader or Rithmic.
