Step-by-step setup

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.

    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 Tradeify.

  4. Step 4

    Configure Rithmic for Tradeify

    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 Tradeify, give the connection a recognizable name, leave Connect on start up and Plug-in mode off, and select Tradeify for System.

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

    Connect to Tradeify

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

FAQ

Tradeify + NinjaTrader questions

Q Can I connect Tradeify to NinjaTrader 8?

Yes. A Tradeify Tradovate account connects natively. For a Tradeify Rithmic account, use PropFirmConnector with the firm-issued Rithmic credentials.

Q Which Tradeify credentials do I use with PropFirmConnector?

Use the Rithmic username and password from the account details for an account purchased with Rithmic as the broker.

Q Which platforms work with Tradeify Rithmic credentials?

Tradeify’s supported-platforms guide lists Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, and R|Trader on the same Rithmic login, used interchangeably; Sierra Chart requires its own paid subscription. NinjaTrader’s native route and TradingView are documented for Tradovate credentials only — PropFirmConnector is what adds NinjaTrader 8 access for the Rithmic login.
