Fast Track Trading: Shut Down, NinjaTrader & Rithmic
Fast Track Trading is defunct: it ceased operations in late 2024 and filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy on January 16, 2025. There is no live firm to connect to, and even while running it was built on Quantower and its own Nitro copier - not NinjaTrader 8.

Most people reaching this page are not setting up a new account - they are trying to find out what happened to Fast Track Trading (FTT). The short answer: it shut down. After opening around mid-2024, the firm ceased operations within roughly six months and filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy on January 16, 2025 in the District of New Jersey (case 25-10470, Judge Michael B. Kaplan). Traders were locked out, payouts went unpaid, and there is no live, legitimate firm left to connect to in 2026.
The premise also never held on a technical level. PropFirmConnector exists to connect multiple Rithmic prop-firm accounts inside one NinjaTrader 8 instance, but FTT was not a NinjaTrader shop. It pushed Rithmic-compatible front-ends centered on Quantower and promoted its own free Quantower-based copier called Nitro, which already handled copy trading across multiple FTT accounts internally. NinjaTrader 8 could in theory read a Rithmic feed, but it was never a promoted or supported FTT integration.
FTT ran an instant-funding futures model: a one-time fee bought a simulated 'GT' funded account with no evaluation, a 5% end-of-day trailing drawdown on current balance including profits, a 5% profit buffer before payouts, a 20% best-day consistency rule, and an advertised ~90% split. That model is now historical only. With clawback notices, 30+ day payout delays, allegations of falsified payout data, and overwhelmingly negative late reviews, the practical takeaway for 2026 is to look at legitimate, operating Rithmic + NinjaTrader 8 firms instead.
Fast Track Trading NinjaTrader & Rithmic FAQ
Q Is Fast Track Trading still in business, or did it shut down?
It shut down. Fast Track Trading ceased operations in late 2024 and filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy on January 16, 2025 in the District of New Jersey (case 25-10470). After opening around mid-2024, the firm lasted roughly six months. There is no live, legitimate FTT firm to trade with or connect to in 2026.
Q Did Fast Track Trading use NinjaTrader 8, Quantower, or Rithmic?
FTT centered on Quantower and Rithmic-compatible platforms, and it promoted its own free Quantower-based copier called Nitro. NinjaTrader 8 was never a promoted or supported integration. While NinjaTrader 8 can technically read a Rithmic feed, FTT did not build around it, so the 'connect FTT accounts in NinjaTrader' premise never cleanly applied.
Q Can I connect a Fast Track Trading account to NinjaTrader 8 with PropFirmConnector?
No. PropFirmConnector connects multiple live Rithmic prop-firm accounts inside one NinjaTrader 8 instance, but FTT is bankrupt and has no live accounts to connect. Even when it operated, FTT was a Quantower/Nitro setup rather than a NinjaTrader 8 firm, so there is nothing for PropFirmConnector to link to.
Q What was FTT's Nitro copier?
Nitro was Fast Track Trading's free copier built on Quantower. It included copy trading across multiple FTT accounts directly, so traders did not route through NinjaTrader to copy. Because that copy functionality lived inside FTT's own stack, an external NinjaTrader-based connector was not part of the workflow.
Q What happened to unpaid Fast Track Trading payouts after the bankruptcy?
Traders were locked out and reported millions in unpaid payouts, 30+ day delays, and clawback notices sent to traders and affiliates. The firm's assets and claims are now handled through the Chapter 7 case in New Jersey. We are an independent tool vendor, not a party to the bankruptcy, and this is not legal or financial advice - affected traders should consult the court docket or an attorney.
Q What are legitimate Rithmic + NinjaTrader 8 alternatives to Fast Track Trading?
If you want the actual 'multiple Rithmic accounts in one NinjaTrader 8 instance' setup, look at operating firms that genuinely offer a Rithmic data feed plus NinjaTrader 8 support. PropFirmConnector then connects those supported accounts locally so a copier like Replikanto trades them with low local latency. PropFirmConnector is independent and not affiliated with any prop firm.
Where PropFirmConnector fits
PropFirmConnector connects multiple Rithmic accounts inside one NinjaTrader 8 instance for local copy trading. For that setup, use a firm that runs on Rithmic with NinjaTrader 8.
