API into RTrader Pro

[George21]

Hello,

I am currently using a Rithmic feed with RTrader Pro credentials for my data connection to NT8. That is working fine through their "plugin" feature and I can place trades in my NT8 sim account.

I would like to execute trades on NT8 that will pass through a "bridge" to my account on RTrader Pro as they are the platform my broker is using. Can you assist me with what needs to happen to set this up?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for your post.


The following link will take you to a page that details the steps required for creating a connection to Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage:

• https://ninjatrader.com/ConnectionGu...nnection-Guide

Also, ensure that you have downloaded R|Trader Pro
(Here is a publicly available website you can download this software from) http://yyy3.rithmic.com/?page_id=16
Open R|Trader Pro and enter your credentials into the 'Orders' user ID and password fields and the 'Market Data' user ID and password field
Click on 'Allow plug-ins' (the text will be yellow when enabled)
Click on 'Login'
Now open NinjaTrader, access the Control Center > Connections > Configure
Select your Rithmic connection
Now copy and paste your username and password exactly as they provided to you in the "Rithmic Connection" and then ensure 'Plug-in mode for market data' is enabled in the connection
Select the Rithmic connection under Control Center > Connections to connect.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I did as instructed but I get the error from NT8 that my credentials are not correct. I am entering the credentials that work for my data connection through RTrader Pro.

Just to be clear, I want to use NT8 to execute my trades through my existing broker on RTrader Pro. I just want to make sure you are understanding my request. I don't want to use NinjaTrader as my broker.

Thanks.
