Connection guides

Connect your prop firm account to NinjaTrader® 8.

Every prop firm account reaches NinjaTrader® 8 through one of three connections: Rithmic, Tradovate or NinjaTrader. Find yours below, follow the steps, then put your B4 tools on the chart.

Coming soon

B4 Funding: our own prop firm.

New B4 Funding plans are coming soon, built around the B4 tools and the B4 AMP education. Want to hear first?

Trading your own account? NinjaTrader Brokerage is our preferred brokerage, and NinjaTrader® 8 is the platform every B4 tool is built for. (opens in a new tab)
Step 0

Before you connect.

  1. Find your login. Your prop firm's welcome email tells you which connection your account uses (Rithmic, Tradovate or NinjaTrader) and gives you the user ID and password for it. A Rithmic login is often different from your firm's website login.
  2. Accept the agreements. Rithmic accounts: sign in once to R|Trader Pro and accept the Rithmic and exchange agreements. Tradovate accounts: sign the digital agreements on the Tradovate website. Until you do, the connection will not open.
  3. Turn on Multi-provider. In NinjaTrader® 8, open Tools > Options > General, tick Multi-provider, press OK and restart NinjaTrader®. This lets NinjaTrader® use a prop firm connection.
Step 1

Pick your connection.

Rithmic

Most futures prop firms.

  1. Control Center > Connections > Configure.
  2. Add the Rithmic connection your firm names (often "Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage").
  3. Enter your Rithmic user ID and password.
  4. Set System to the value your firm gives you (usually your firm's name) and Gateway to the one it names (Chicago Area is common).
  5. Press OK, then Connections > your new connection to connect.

Switching firms? Disconnect, restart NinjaTrader®, then connect to the next one. Many firms note that only one Rithmic login can be connected at a time.

Tradovate

Firms that issue Tradovate logins.

  1. Control Center > Connections > Configure.
  2. Add a NinjaTrader connection.
  3. Enter your Tradovate username and password.
  4. Set the account type exactly as your firm's instructions say.
  5. Press OK and connect. Add one connection for each Tradovate login you have.

NinjaTrader Brokerage

Your own NinjaTrader account.

  1. Control Center > Connections.
  2. Choose your NinjaTrader connection, or add one under Configure.
  3. Sign in with your NinjaTrader username and password.
  4. Confirm the account shows in Control Center > Accounts.
Step 2

If it does not connect.

"Logon failed"

Use the connection login from your firm's welcome email, not your firm's website login, and check System and Gateway match your firm's instructions exactly.

Connected, but no prices on the chart

Check that your account includes market data for that exchange and that you accepted the data agreements. Then right-click the chart and reload data.

The account is not in the list

Disconnect, restart NinjaTrader® and connect again. If it is still missing, your firm may not have activated it yet: contact your firm's support.

Still stuck

Your prop firm's support team knows its own settings best. For help with B4 tools, email info@b4signals.com.

Step 3

Put the B4 tools on your chart.

Once your account is connected, add the B4 tools to your NinjaTrader® 8 charts.
