Traders usually reach this page asking whether they can connect TickTickTrader accounts in NinjaTrader 8 over Rithmic and run a local copier across them. The honest answer is no, and the reason is structural: TickTickTrader (launched in 2022) was a Tradovate-based one-step evaluation and instant-funding firm, later bridged to ProjectX and Quantower. It was never a Rithmic-first firm. Even when it was active, Rithmic was listed as temporarily unavailable for evaluation accounts, so there was no reliable native Rithmic + NinjaTrader login to begin with.
The situation got worse, not better. Tradovate suspended TickTickTrader accounts around November 25, 2025, citing a breach of its Evaluation Services Agreement. The firm migrated accounts to ProjectX, but in early 2026 ProjectX moved to Topstep-exclusive licensing and the TickTickTrader ProjectX offering collapsed within weeks. By 2026 the firm is widely reported as no longer operating, with traders facing frozen access and payout uncertainty on both the TTTDirect and ProjectX product lines.
PropFirmConnector is a connection layer for NinjaTrader 8: it brings multiple Rithmic prop-firm logins into one NinjaTrader instance so a local copier can trade them with low local latency. That premise depends on a firm offering a stable Rithmic data feed and NinjaTrader 8 support. TickTickTrader meets neither condition today, so we cannot and do not claim compatibility. If you are evaluating where to trade next, look at firms that natively support Rithmic + NinjaTrader 8 instead.
TickTickTrader NinjaTrader & Rithmic FAQ
Q Does TickTickTrader work with NinjaTrader 8 and the Rithmic data feed?
No. TickTickTrader was built on Tradovate and later ProjectX/Quantower, not Rithmic. Any NinjaTrader access was only ever indirect through Tradovate-bridged data, and Rithmic was listed as temporarily unavailable for evaluation accounts even when the firm was active. There is no stable native Rithmic + NinjaTrader 8 login to connect.
Q Is TickTickTrader still operating in 2026?
It is widely reported as no longer operating in 2026. Tradovate suspended TickTickTrader accounts around November 2025, the firm migrated to ProjectX, and ProjectX then moved to Topstep-exclusive licensing in early 2026, collapsing the offering within weeks. Both the TTTDirect and ProjectX product lines are reported offline.
Q Can I connect multiple TickTickTrader accounts in one NinjaTrader instance with PropFirmConnector?
No. PropFirmConnector connects multiple Rithmic prop-firm accounts in one NinjaTrader 8 instance, which requires the firm to offer a Rithmic feed and NinjaTrader 8 support. TickTickTrader offered neither a stable Rithmic path nor an operating service in 2026, so there is nothing to connect.
Q Will I still get paid out by TickTickTrader after the platform migrations?
We cannot speak to any individual payout. Public reporting describes frozen access and payout uncertainty following the Tradovate suspension and the ProjectX collapse. If you have an open balance, contact TickTickTrader directly and document everything; this is the firm's responsibility, not something a connection tool can resolve.
Q What are the best TickTickTrader alternatives for Rithmic and NinjaTrader users?
Look at futures prop firms that natively support the Rithmic data feed and NinjaTrader 8, such as Apex Trader Funding, Bulenox, TakeProfit Trader, or Earn2Trade. Those are the setups where PropFirmConnector can connect multiple Rithmic accounts in one NinjaTrader instance for local copy trading.
Q Is PropFirmConnector affiliated with TickTickTrader?
No. PropFirmConnector is an independent NinjaTrader 8 add-on and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with TickTickTrader or any prop firm. It is a connection tool for Rithmic-based accounts and does not apply to TickTickTrader.
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.
