FAQ

Do I need to buy a NinjaTrader license for a prop account?

No — the free version handles charting and simulated trading. Live order routing requires either the firm's connection (usually included) or a paid NinjaTrader Lifetime license if you route independently.

Can I run NinjaScript strategies at a funded firm?

Yes at most futures prop firms. Restrictions mirror the firm's general algo rules: no HFT, no copy-trading between accounts, and no strategies designed to exploit fill-simulation quirks.

Does NinjaTrader work with Tradovate?

Yes. NinjaTrader 8 supports Tradovate as a connection, so you can use NinjaTrader's advanced charting and order-flow tooling on top of a Tradovate-based prop account.

Is NinjaTrader available on Mac?

Not natively. Mac traders use Parallels, a Windows VPS, or CrossOver. If a native macOS or web terminal is a hard requirement, choose Tradovate or Quantower instead.
