NinjaTrader
A desktop futures trading platform popular with prop traders for its charting, order flow tools, and automation, typically connected through Rithmic at prop firms.
In plain English
NinjaTrader is the standard desktop choice at futures prop firms: deep charting, DOM trading, custom indicators, and NinjaScript automation. Firms connect it through Rithmic or their own feed, issuing credentials per account.
Its ecosystem of third-party order flow tools is a major reason traders pick firms that support it. License costs are usually covered by the platform's free tier for prop connections, with paid tiers unlocking advanced order types.
- A trader runs NinjaTrader with a volume profile indicator, connected to two different firms' accounts through separate Rithmic logins.
