Gooey Trade Connection Guide to NinjaTrader 8

Quick answer

First confirm which organization issued your trading account and whether it supplied an active Rithmic login. Gooey Trade supports several platforms, and their credentials are not interchangeable. For a Rithmic account, use the exact System and connection route confirmed by your account issuer; PropFirmConnector can connect active Rithmic logins to NinjaTrader 8 where the add-on route applies.

Step-by-step setup

Gooey Trade Connection Guide to NinjaTrader 8

  1. Step 1 One-time activation

    Verify your account and Rithmic login

    Ask the organization that issued your trading account to confirm its connection feed, Rithmic username and password, exact System and gateway, and supported NinjaTrader route. If it supplied Rithmic credentials, test them in R|Trader Pro, accept any pending agreements and confirm the expected account appears. Continue with the add-on steps only for that verified Rithmic route.

  2. Step 2

    Install PropFirmConnector

    From your PropFirmConnector account, download PropFirmConnector.zip and close NinjaTrader completely. Extract the ZIP, then copy NinjaTrader.Custom-pfc.dll to My Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom. Start NinjaTrader again and, when your browser opens, click Activate this device.

    Copy the DLL to My Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom
    Open your account downloads
  3. Step 3

    Open NinjaTrader 8 and sign in

    Start NinjaTrader 8 and sign in with your NinjaTrader account credentials when prompted. These are separate from the Rithmic credentials issued for your trading account.

  4. Step 4

    Configure your confirmed Rithmic route

    In the NinjaTrader Control Center, select Connections, then configure. Select Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage, enter the active Rithmic credentials supplied for your trading account, and give the connection a recognizable name. Leave Connect on start up and Plug-in mode off. Use the exact System confirmed by your account issuer; if that System is not available or remains unclear, resolve it with the issuer before connecting. The screenshot illustrates the interface, not a verified System for your Gooey Trade account.

    In the Control Center, click Connections, then configure.
  5. Step 5

    Connect and verify your account

    Open Connections and select the connection name you created. Confirm a green status indicator and that the expected account appears. The example connection name in the screenshot is only a label; it does not verify a particular Gooey Trade account or account type.

    Open Connections and click the name you created. This interface illustration uses Gooey Trade and shows the green connected indicator. It is a setup example, not evidence of a live account test.

FAQ

Gooey Trade + NinjaTrader questions

Q Is Gooey Trade a prop firm, broker or platform provider?

Gooey Trade describes its service as platform administration for prop firms. Rithmic lists it under both funding evaluators and introducing brokers. Check who issued your account and its actual connection feed; these directory roles do not establish one account offering or setup for everyone.

Q Can I use GooeyPro or another Gooey platform login in NinjaTrader?

Not merely because it is a Gooey-branded login. PropFirmConnector connects Rithmic credentials. Ask the account issuer whether your account has an active Rithmic username and password and which NinjaTrader route is supported.

Q Which Rithmic System should I select?

Use the exact System confirmed by your account issuer. The cited public pages do not establish one System for every Gooey Trade account. Do not guess between Rithmic Paper Trading and Rithmic 01 from a provider name or directory category.

Q Does every Gooey Trade account require PropFirmConnector?

No blanket requirement is established. Confirm the account feed and whether the issuer offers a native NinjaTrader route. The add-on is relevant to an active Rithmic login where its connection route is needed, including connecting separate Rithmic logins in one NinjaTrader instance.
