Why It Matters
Why Elite Traders Search for This
Most traders reach this page because they hold more than one Elite Trader Funding account and want them visible together in NinjaTrader at the same time. ETF officially supports the Rithmic data feed and full NinjaTrader 8 compatibility on Windows, so the classic setup applies: connect several supported Rithmic logins, then run a local NinjaTrader copier across them. This is not a prop firm review. It is a connection guide for the layer that sits before your copier.
ETF's account model encourages this. Evaluation types like 1-Step, Fast Track, Static, and Direct to Funded span roughly $10K to $250K, and traders commonly run multiple accounts at once to scale payouts through copy trading. The catch is that each Rithmic account is a separate login. PropFirmConnector focuses on getting those supported Rithmic connections into one NinjaTrader environment so your copier reads them from a single account list.
A 2026 change matters here. ETF added a separate Rithmic connection fee of about $45 per active Rithmic account, citing CME policy changes, and now offers a fee-free Tradovate Bundle that also feeds NinjaTrader. PropFirmConnector targets the multi-Rithmic-account setup, which still works as before. If per-account Rithmic costs add up across many accounts, the Tradovate route is the alternative ETF points to, though the multi-Rithmic flow described here remains the focus.

Connectivity at a glance
Elite data feed & NinjaTrader setup
- Rithmic supported
- Yes. ETF officially supports the Rithmic data feed, which connects NinjaTrader 8 plus 10+ other platforms including Quantower, Sierra Chart, Bookmap, and ATAS.
- NinjaTrader 8 supported
- Yes. Full NinjaTrader 8 compatibility on Windows via either the Rithmic feed or the Tradovate (CQG) feed.
- Two feed options
- NinjaTrader can connect through Rithmic or the fee-free Tradovate Bundle (Tradovate, TradingView, NinjaTrader). PropFirmConnector targets the multi-Rithmic-account setup.
- 2026 Rithmic fee
- A separate ~$45/month Rithmic charge applies per active Rithmic account (new accounts Jan 28 2026, existing Mar 1 2026), tied to CME policy changes; avoidable via Tradovate.
- Common gotcha
- If an ETF Rithmic account is missing in NinjaTrader, the usual cause is Global Simulation Mode being enabled. Uncheck it under Tools to make the account visible.

Common Questions
Elite Rithmic and NinjaTrader FAQ
Q Can I connect multiple Elite Trader Funding Rithmic accounts in one NinjaTrader instance?
Yes. PropFirmConnector is built to bring supported Elite Trader Funding Rithmic accounts into one NinjaTrader 8 instance so they appear in the same account list. From there a local copier can map and trade them together. This is the classic multi-Rithmic-account setup, which still works under ETF's 2026 feed changes.
Q Should I use the Rithmic feed or the Tradovate Bundle for NinjaTrader?
Both connect NinjaTrader 8. PropFirmConnector targets the Rithmic route, where you can run several Rithmic logins in one instance. In 2026 ETF added a roughly $45/month per-account Rithmic connection fee, so if you run many accounts the fee-free Tradovate Bundle is the cost-saving alternative ETF offers. Pick Rithmic if the multi-account Rithmic workflow is what you need.
Q Why isn't my Elite Trader Funding account showing up in NinjaTrader?
The most common cause is NinjaTrader's Global Simulation Mode being enabled, which hides live-style accounts. Open Tools and uncheck Global Simulation Mode, then reconnect. Also confirm the ETF Rithmic login is active and you selected the correct Rithmic system or gateway for the account.
Q Does the new 2026 per-account Rithmic fee make multiple ETF accounts more expensive?
It can. ETF's separate Rithmic connection charge of about $45 applies per active Rithmic account, effective Jan 28 2026 for new accounts and Mar 1 2026 for existing ones, citing CME policy changes. Running many Rithmic accounts multiplies that fee. ETF's fee-free Tradovate Bundle avoids the Rithmic charge while still connecting NinjaTrader.
Q Can I copy trade across several ETF accounts at once in NinjaTrader?
Yes. Once supported ETF Rithmic accounts are connected in one NinjaTrader instance, a local trade copier (for example Replikanto or another NinjaTrader-based copier) handles the account mapping from that single list. PropFirmConnector provides the connection layer; the copier handles distribution with low local latency.
Q Is PropFirmConnector affiliated with Elite Trader Funding?
No. PropFirmConnector is an independent NinjaTrader 8 add-on for connecting supported Rithmic accounts inside one NinjaTrader instance. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Elite Trader Funding, and it is a connection tool, not a cloud copier or a prop firm.
