A long-established Windows desktop futures platform with deep charting, order-flow tools, and a large ecosystem of third-party indicators and automated strategies.
Where it tends to fit
Traders who want advanced charting, order-flow, and custom automation, and do not mind a desktop install.
Operating caveat
Windows-first (Mac users need a workaround) and steeper to learn than a cloud platform.
How to connect your firm account
- Install NinjaTrader on your computer (free for simulated/eval use).
- In Connections, add a new connection using the gateway your firm uses (often Rithmic or Tradovate) with the firm-issued credentials.
- Connect, then select the firm account in the order-entry window.
Steps vary by firm. Use your firm-dashboard credentials, then check your firm's setup help and NinjaTrader's official site for the current details.
