  • After creating your username, activate it through the confirmation email.

4. Configure NinjaTrader Connection:

  • Connect by selecting "My Rithmic for NinjaTrader Brokerage" from the Connections menu.

Troubleshooting: If you can connect, but don't see the account:

  • If you are able to connect to your BluSky Credentials within NinjaTrader, but the evaluation account isn't showing, please write in to ClientServices@NinjaTrader.com with:
    • Your Email Address
    • NinjaTrader Username
    • Indicate BluSky as the Evaluation Service
  • Note: If the Evaluation (Rithmic) Entitlement is missing, it doesn't prevent the connection from turning green and connecting. However, the Evaluation account won't be visible within the NinjaTrader platform until this has been enabled.

Not a broker-dealer

Futures trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Trading Evaluation Disclaimer

The candidate pass rate of the BluSky evaluation program was 16.9% between April 1, 2023 – Nov 30, 2023. This percentage is based on users that entered the Trading Evaluation and entered the BluLive stage during this time period. The Trading Evaluation is a realistic simulation of trading under actual market conditions and is difficult to pass even for experienced traders. The Trading Evaluation is not suggested for individuals with minimal trading experience.

Hypothetical Performance

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are last updated June,6, 2022 described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses like those stated herein; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program despite trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

General

We urge you to not blindly follow anyone's trades, including ours. It is your responsibility to do your own research and determine each trade you place in the market. We are not financial advisors, nothing in any of our presentations is intended as investment advice. Trading in any market is very risky. By showing our own processes and tooling, we are only trying to educate you in the market. In fact, most traders do not succeed. We are hoping to help you learn more and demonstrate ways you could potentially increase your chances. But using any of the systems/platforms/indicators/strategies we demonstrate will never be a guarantee of success.
