Before you start connecting your Tryout to NinjaTrader, please check the following points:
You need to accept Rithmic agreements here (https://www.rithmic.com/rag_paper.html)
Make sure to have your NinjaTrader upgraded to the last possible version here (https://ninjatrader.com/PlatformDirect)
Update your license key in the platform. To do so, launch NinjaTrader and from the Control Center, click Help > License key and replace the existing key with your new key. You can find our NinjaTrader key in the dashboard, under the NinjaTrader tab.
Now, start NinjaTrader, and from the Control Center window, select the menu "Connections” > “configure”:
Select "Rithmic for NinjaTrader® Brokerage" from the list of “Available” connections > press the “add” text from the “Configured” section below:
The “Properties” section will then appear on the right side. Now enter your Rithmic credentials provided by us in the boxes “User name” and “Password” and as “System” select Rithmic Paper Trading.
As recommended by Rithmic, if you are in the USA then select Chicago, if you are in Europe then select Europe, you must select the closest gateway to your location.
