Enabling Multi-Provider Mode

Have more than one account connection? Enable multi-provider mode to connect properly.

The Problem: Why Can’t You See All Your Trading Accounts?

If you have multiple (prop) trading accounts, you might have noticed that you can’t access them all at once. By default, NinjaTrader is set to Single-Provider Mode, meaning you can only connect to one broker or data provider at a time.

If you need to trade across multiple accounts from different firms, you’ll need to enable Multi-Provider Mode.

What Changes When Multi-Provider Mode Is Enabled?

• You can now connect to multiple trading accounts from different firms at the same time.

• A Global Simulation Mode will be enabled by default to prevent accidental live trades.

• Local simulation accounts will always be available.

• If you previously enabled Server-Side ATMs (Beta), switching to Multi-Provider Mode will revert your settings to Local ATMs (since Server-Side ATMs are only available for the NinjaTrader connection).

Once enabled, you’ll have full access to all your accounts and can trade seamlessly across different providers!
