Trading verification · NinjaTrader
Your NinjaTrader sessions, synced and reviewed.
NinjaTrader accounts that sign in with NinjaTrader or Tradovate credentials connect read-only, so the record comes from the account instead of from memory. Accounts fed by Rithmic come in by CSV: export Trade Performance and drop it in, or log each trade by hand. Commission is applied per contract, and the backtester runs on futures candles.
NinjaTrader to DT Terminal: Sync or CSV.

What comes across, and what can't
- Comes across: NinjaTrader on a NinjaTrader or Tradovate loginConnects read-only and syncs
- Comes across: The Trade Performance CSVParsed on import, rows checked before they save
- Comes across: Commission per contractApplied across the batch, so the stored result is net of it
- Comes across: Duplicates spotted and skipped
- Cannot happen: Accounts fed by RithmicThey do not connect. Bring those trades in by CSV or by hand.
- Cannot happen: The seal before the ledger agreesA connected account is verified only when its trades reconcile with its own cash ledger
Commission
Results net of what the round turn cost.
Set the rate once as a figure per contract and it is applied across every trade in the import, so the result stored on each trade is already net of it.
- Per contract or a flat rate per trade
- CSV import, 50 trades a batch free
- Duplicates spotted and skipped
Backtester
Futures candles, from the open you choose.
Jump to the cash open or a release and step forward one bar at a time. Commission inside a session is charged per contract too, so a tested edge is costed like the real one.
- ES, NQ, CL and GC among others
- Jump to any date and time
- Stats at the end of every session
