Is Ninja Trader usable?

[madhouse]

So I am new to Ninja Trader and finding it to be unusable. I was doing well with it in sim mode until going live. Now I find out that it does not show realized or unrealized PnL while in a position like it did in sim! Maybe It's me but I would think that is a rather important aspect in trading if your trying to make money. There is a tiny little unreadable box in the bottom of the Dom that shows PnL of that particular trade but that's it. Is anyone successfully using this platform and if so what am I missing? Thanks

Hello madhouse,

Thanks for your post.

The account values that are displayed depend upon your connectivity provider. Some connectivity providers transmit partial account data, while others do not transmit anything. Below is a table of the various account values displayed by different connectivity providers.

I suspect you may be using NinjaTrader Continuum which does not send Unrealized PnL to the platform, however Rinthmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage would send this information.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Thanks for the reply, last night I upgraded to ver 8.0.21.0 and it seemed to work. Can you expand on the Rinthmic provider? Can I just switch?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

You'd want to reach out to the brokerage directly at brokeragesupport[at]ninjatrader[dot]com for information on how you could switch to this connection type.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
