Trade Topstep Rithmic account and Live Ninjatrader Account

[backtester831]

So here's an issue I can't seem to figure out forever. I got a lifetime NT license way before 2023, so their MultiBroker Addon is supposedly included. I also have "Multi-provider" enabled in my NT settings. I get level 2 CME datafeed from Rithmic (via Apex PA account). So "Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage" is set as my preferred connections for Futures for both real-time and historical.

I also have a small NTB live account. I connected it with NinjaTrader connection. And my live charting works fine. But if I try placing an order on my live NTB account (say limit sell or whatever), I get an error "Your account is not subscribed to the data feed associated with this contract. blah, blah."

NT support keep telling me that I need to subscribe and pay them for their data. But why? I already have datafeed. I just need an "order feed" as you say. And it is supposed to be included with my lifetime NT license, isn't it?

Well, come to think about it. I am not sure what Ninjatrader's current Multiple Broker add-on is supposed to do. But by clicking on the list of "supported brokers" for that add-on, all I can see is:

• cTrader
• FOREX.com/City Index
• FXCM and Interactive Brokers

Is that it? For this people are now charged $99 per month?

Well, my Rithmic is not on the list. is this why my live NTB account (on "Ninjatrader" connection) rejects my orders? Ninjatrader support seems to be useless to offer any explanation. Hopefully anyone here can shed some light. Thanks in advance

Easy fix, just use the NT Continuum connection for your live account, it doesn't require you to be subscribed to live market data to execute trades.

Wow, was not aware of that!

Uniquely aggravating (esp, I'm sure, to gseweb) that
NT support doesn't seem to know that.

Is that specific difference between those two adapters
documented any where?
