Requirements & billing

Which accounts can traders connect?

Traders can connect their Rithmic evaluation, funded and live brokerage accounts, including account types without a native NinjaTrader connection. Send us your firm’s website and account types to confirm your setup before integrating.

What does the trader need to connect?

NinjaTrader 8 on Windows, the PropFirmConnector add-on and an active addon license, plus valid Rithmic credentials from their firm or broker. The Vendor API does not create trading accounts, supply market data or replace NinjaTrader’s own requirements.

What happens if the customer already has PropFirmConnector?

We match the supplied email to their account and add a separate license slot from your firm. Their existing paid or other partner licenses remain independent. If the email is new, we create an account for them.

How is direct licensing billed?

Your firm collects customer payments. We invoice your firm monthly at agreed license rates. Monthly licenses incur a charge every 30 days while enabled; lifetime licenses incur one charge. Downloads, status checks and safe retries have no separate license charge. Sponsored-access terms are agreed separately.
