Follow the below steps to Set Up your Rithmic-Based Connection with NinjaTrader®:
1. Complete Account Setup:
Ensure that you’ve completed the necessary steps to set up and activate your Earn2Trade account.
Log in to your Earn2Trade dashboard and go to the “Account Setup” tab to choose the exchanges you intend to trade.
Confirming your exchange(s) will create your E2T evaluation account.
2. Download & Sign Into R|Trader Pro:
Download R|Trader Pro here.
Open the platform and log in using your Rithmic credentials received in an email with subject: Rithmic Data Feed Credentials Created.
Ensure Market Data is OFF and selective mode is OFF.
Log in with:
System: Rithmic Paper Trading
Gateway: Chicago Area.
Sign the mandatory Market Data Agreements as a Non-Professional if you qualify.
3. Create a NinjaTrader Username (if you don’t have one):
Go to NinjaTrader.com and sign up to create a username.
If you haven’t registered to the new NinjaTrader® Dashboard, you can do it by going to this link and filling up your information: https://account.ninjatrader.com/register
We recommend that you register manually by adding your email address and an appropriate password.
It is not recommended to use the Gmail or Apple sign-ins when creating this username.
After creating your username, activate it through the confirmation email.
If you already have a Username registered on the NinjaTrader® website, move to the next step.
4. Download and install NinjaTrader (if you haven’t already)
Please use the following link to log into the Dashboard with your NinjaTrader® username and password: https://account.ninjatrader.com/welcome
Click “Download” in the bottom-left corner. Or, the “Additional options” button > Click Download
Click the Download button under “Most Recent Release” > Once downloaded, click the file and Next through the prompts until installed.
5. Configure the Earn2Trade connection within NinjaTrader:
Open NinjaTrader and sign in with your NinjaTrader username.
(You will use the “NinjaTrader Username” from Step 3 above. Not the Earn2Trade Credentials)
If you don’t see the configure button, enable “Multi-provider Mode” in Tools > Options > General > Multi-provider mode > Then restart NinjaTrader and sign back in.
(The Tools > Options is accessible in the Desktop Version. Find a detailed guide on how to enable Multi provider mode here: https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/article/NinjaTrader-Connection-Guide-Multi-Provider-Mode-Enabled?language=en_US)
Go to Control Center > Connections > configure.
Double-click “Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage” from the ‘Available’ list.
Enter your Rithmic credentials (received from Earn2Trade in an email), set the System to “Rithmic Paper Trading - Chicago gateway” and click OK.
Connect by selecting “My Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage” from the Connections menu.
6. Optional - Connecting R|Trader Pro and NinjaTrader Simultaneously:
This allows both platforms to run together, where NinjaTrader pulls data through R|Trader Pro.
In R|Trader Pro:
Close R|Trader Pro
Reopen R|Trader Pro, but do not click Login yet.
Turn the “Market Data” section ON
Now, turn “Allow Plugins” ON
Log in with your Rithmic Credentials provided by Earn2Trade.
In NinjaTrader:
Go to Control Center > Connections > Configure.
Select your Earn2Trade connection and Check the box by “Plug-in Mode.”
You MUST restart NinjaTrader after making this change.
Connect to your Earn2Trade account in NinjaTrader (Example for Account number to look for: ttester0101tcp50d102847, Account Name: Tom Tester - Trader Career Path 50K)
Important Notes for Plugin Mode:
When using Plug in mode, R|Trader Pro must be open and connected before NinjaTrader can connect.
When Plug in mode is active, NinjaTrader is looking at R|Trader Pro for its data.
That is why R|Trader Pro must be open and connected first in this configuration.
For more details, refer to the Rithmic connection guide.
In case you are able to connect to your Earn2trade Credentials within NinjaTrader, but the evaluation account isn’t showing, please write in to [email protected] with your Email Address, NinjaTrader Username, and indicate Earn2trade as the Evaluation Service that you are trying to use.
The NinjaTrader team will manually enable the Earn2Trade “Evaluation (Rithmic)” Entitlement.
(If the Evaluation (Rithmic) Entitlement is missing, it doesn’t prevent the connection from turning green and connecting. However, the Evaluation account won’t be visible within the NinjaTrader platform until this has been enabled)
