Connecting to NinjaTrader

This guide serves as a manual for connecting an account through NinjaTrader to ATAS.

To connect via NinjaTrader, the following conditions must be met:
1. NinjaTrader version 8.1.1.7 or higher
2. ATAS version Latest 6.0.4.316 or higher, or Beta 6.0.4.216 or higher
3. The NinjaTrader platform must be running with an active account and quotes connected
4. The ADataFeeder indicator should be added only to one chart; the window must be open and expanded
5. For the ADataFeeder to function correctly, it is necessary for the system time on the computer to be synchronized with the world time and match the time on NinjaTrader

To connect Ninja Trader to ATAS you need to:

1. Open the Ninja Trader platform and go to Tools - Automated trading interface - enable AT Interface

2. Add it to the ADataFeeder8 indicator’s chart

This indicator is automatically installed in NinjaTrader when ATAS is installed. Simply go to NinjaTrader Indicators and install ADataFeeder on the desired chart. If you had NinjaTrader running when installing ATAS, it must be restarted in order for the indicator to appear in this platform.

If the ADataFeeder8 indicator is not in listed, it is necessary to close NinjaTrader and then reinstall ATAS. After reinstalling, files ADataFeederx86.dll and ADataFeederx64.dll will appear in the Documents/Ninja Trader 8/bin/Custom folder.
