NT8 desktop, how should it be used?

01-04-2025, 03:28 AM

Is it true that NT8 software now requires payment to use? Can I still access the free Rithmic data source as before?

I don't understand how NT8 is used now. Do I need to pay to use the NT8 desktop? Can the free version connect to rithmic data?

Hello lfbxindekaishi,

Thank you for posting.

You may use NinjaTrader in simulation mode for free with a supported broker or data provider. Rithmic based connections are only supported with a supported broker that uses this connection technology which when connecting in NinjaTrader uses "Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage". If you are trading with a NinjaTrader Brokerage account you may trade live for free however if you are trading with a 3rd party brokerage this would require a Multi broker subscription to trade live.

Let me know if I may be of further assistance.
