Tradeify 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 Tradeify. 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.
