Hola Prime Connection Guide to NinjaTrader 8

Quick answer

If Hola Prime issued you Rithmic credentials, yes: select HOLAPRIME for System in PropFirmConnector. Hola Prime’s futures accounts currently run on Tradovate/NinjaTrader or WealthCharts; those use Hola Prime’s own platform logins, and PropFirmConnector connects Rithmic logins only.

This guide covers how to connect Hola Prime Rithmic accounts to NinjaTrader. PropFirmConnector is an independent third-party add-on and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Hola Prime, NinjaTrader, or Rithmic.

Before you start

Your Hola Prime Rithmic account and login

Hola Prime Futures (holaprime.com/futures) sells 1-Step Prime Challenge and Direct accounts on Tradovate/NinjaTrader or WealthCharts, chosen at purchase. It listed Rithmic platforms in late 2025, but its checkout sold no Rithmic accounts on September 28, 2026.

PropFirmConnector lists Hola Prime’s own Rithmic System, HOLAPRIME, for accounts issued with Rithmic credentials, and runs that login alongside other firms’ Rithmic logins in one NinjaTrader instance.

Where to find your Hola Prime Rithmic login

Hola Prime emails your account credentials and shows them in the dashboard’s Account Overview tab. Your dashboard login, the email and password you use at trader.holaprime.com, is separate from your platform login.

Open Hola Prime dashboard (opens in a new tab)
Step-by-step setup

How to connect Hola Prime to NinjaTrader 8 in 5 steps

  1. Step 1 One-time activation

    Activate your Hola Prime Rithmic login

    For a Hola Prime account issued with Rithmic credentials, sign in to R|Trader Pro once with them and accept the Rithmic market-data agreements. The direct PropFirmConnector setup below does not require R|Trader Pro to stay open.

  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

    No license yet? Start the free 7-day trial, then download PropFirmConnector from your account.

  3. Step 3

    Open NinjaTrader 8 and sign in

    Start NinjaTrader 8 and sign in with your NinjaTrader account credentials when prompted. These are your NinjaTrader credentials, not the Rithmic username and password issued by Hola Prime.

  4. Step 4

    Configure Rithmic for Hola Prime

    In the NinjaTrader Control Center, select Connections, then configure. Select Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage from the Available list on the left, enter the Rithmic username and password issued by Hola Prime, give the connection a recognizable name, leave Connect on start up and Plug-in mode off, and select HOLAPRIME for System.

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

    Connect to Hola Prime

    Open Connections again and click the connection name you just created. A green status indicator and the account appearing in NinjaTrader confirm the connection.

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

If your Hola Prime connection is not working

Should Plug-in mode be on or off?
Off. Plug-in mode shares a running R|Trader Pro session with NinjaTrader, which is a different setup from PropFirmConnector’s direct connection. In Connections > Configure, select your Rithmic connection, uncheck Plug-in mode, click OK and connect again. Some firm and Rithmic instructions turn it on for their R|Trader Pro workflow; leave it off for PropFirmConnector.
The connection is green, but the account isn’t in NinjaTrader’s Accounts tab.
Your NinjaTrader account may be missing the general Rithmic entitlement. In NinjaTrader, open Help > About. The Entitlements line should say Evaluation (Rithmic); if it doesn’t, the connection can turn green without showing your accounts. Older NinjaTrader accounts don’t have this entitlement by default, but newly registered accounts do.
About NinjaTrader window with Entitlements showing Evaluation (Rithmic).
Help > About in NinjaTrader. Entitlements shows Evaluation (Rithmic) when the entitlement is enabled. Machine ID and User are hidden.

If Evaluation (Rithmic) is missing:

  • Trading mainly with prop firms? Your NinjaTrader login doesn’t matter, so the fastest fix is to create a new NinjaTrader account with a different email and sign in with it.
  • Keeping your current login, for example because it has a live account on it? Email platformsupport@ninjatrader.com with your NinjaTrader username and ask them to enable the general Rithmic entitlement.
Your Hola Prime account runs on Tradovate or WealthCharts.
Hola Prime sets the platform at purchase and does not allow changing it. Those accounts use Hola Prime’s own platform logins; PropFirmConnector connects Rithmic logins only.
