NinjaTrader to DT Terminal ## What comes across, and what can't - Comes across: NinjaTrader on a NinjaTrader or Tradovate login Connects read-only and syncs - Comes across: The Trade Performance CSV Parsed on import, rows checked before they save - Comes across: Commission per contract Applied across the batch, so the stored result is net of it - Comes across: Duplicates spotted and skipped - Cannot happen: Accounts fed by Rithmic They do not connect. Bring those trades in by CSV or by hand. - Cannot happen: The seal before the ledger agrees A 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 DT Scholarships ## A logged record can pay for an evaluation. DT Scholarships pays a $10K prop firm evaluation in full and takes nothing from the funded account.

FAQ ### Does DT Terminal sync with NinjaTrader? Yes, for NinjaTrader accounts that sign in with NinjaTrader or Tradovate credentials. The connection is read-only. Free verifies one account for your public passport and Rankings, checked hourly, while Verified and Pro sync the trades into your journal. Accounts fed by Rithmic do not connect, so export those as a CSV. ### Which NinjaTrader export does the import read? The Trade Performance export saved as CSV, which the importer parses on its own. Upload it, review the parsed rows, save. Free imports 50 trades a batch, Verified and Pro import without limit. ### How is commission handled? Set a rate per contract, or a flat rate per trade, when you import, and it is applied to every trade in the batch. The stored result is net of it, so it matches what the platform reported. ### Does the backtester have futures data? Yes: historical candles for index, metals and energy futures, ES, NQ, GC and CL among them, replayed bar by bar on the charts inside DT Terminal. ### Can I keep a funded futures record? Yes. Journal it and publish it. A connected account earns the verified seal only when its trades reconcile with the account's own cash ledger, and imported or typed trades publish as self-reported. ### Can I connect DT Terminal to Claude or ChatGPT? Yes. DT Terminal Connect is our MCP connector: Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps can read and update your journal, backtests and synced accounts, with your consent per scope. It needs a paid plan: on Verified a connected app can read your account, and on Pro it can also write to your journal. Set it up in Settings, MCP. You choose what each app may do, see what it did, and can disconnect it there at any time. ## Connect the account and replay the one that got away. Free to start, and the futures candles are already in the backtester.
