Cant login to R|Trader Pro and Ninjatrader same time

[Phantomstranger]

Doing the topstep combine, the instructions show to login to R|Trader Pro and Ninjatrader.
Their instructions specifically state to turn on Orders, Market Data and allow plugins.
It logins in fine.
Open ninjatrader, they state specifally to use the same login as R|Trader Pro.turn on the plug in mode for market data.
Then as soon as I connect it kicks me out of R|Trader Pro for maximum account logins. Then when I login with R|Trader Pro it kicks me out of ninjatrader for maximum account logins.

Any idea how to fix this?

Hello Phantomstranger,

Thank you for the message.

This would imply that the "Plug in mode" box is not on for both platforms still.

After enabling the "Plug in mode" setting in NinjaTrader, you MUST restart the platform before trying to connect again or it will NOT work.


Please use the steps below to turn Plugin Mode ON for both platforms, restart, and then try connecting again.

1. Close both platforms
2. Open R|Trader Pro. DO NOT LOGIN YET
   • Make sure the "Market Data" section is ON
   • Click Plugin Mode to also turn it ON
3. Now, click to open R|Trader pro and wait for it to open.
4. Open NinjaTrader and sign in
   1. Go to the Connections Menu > configure
   2. Click your Evaluation connection
   3. Check the box next to "Plug-in mode for market data"
   4. Click OK
5. Now, you MUST restart NinjaTrader. DO NOT try connecting until after you have restarted NinjaTrader or it won't work.
6. Finally, sign back into NinjaTrader and try connecting to the evaluation account again.

Please follow along with this video I made for a demonstration of this process:
