Step-by-step setup

Leeloo Trading Connection Guide to NinjaTrader 8

  1. Step 1 One-time activation

    Log in to R|Trader Pro once

    Sign in to R|Trader Pro with the Rithmic credentials issued by Leeloo Trading. Accept any pending market-data agreements and confirm the expected trading accounts appear. This is a one-time activation check; you do not need to open R|Trader Pro every time you start NinjaTrader.

  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 your NinjaTrader credentials, not the Rithmic username and password issued by Leeloo Trading.

  4. Step 4

    Configure Rithmic for Leeloo Trading

    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 Leeloo Trading, give the connection a recognizable name, leave Connect on start up and Plug-in mode off, and select Rithmic Paper Trading (Chicago) for System.

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

    Connect to Leeloo Trading

    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 Leeloo Trading and shows the green connected indicator. It is a setup example, not evidence of a live account test.
