Why Is Your Account Not Showing?

In NinjaTrader, when "Global Simulation Mode" is enabled, your account is restricted to simulation-only trading. This prevents your live or funded accounts, including Rithmic accounts, from displaying. To resolve this, you’ll need to disable the Global Sim Mode.

How to Disable Global Simulation Mode in NinjaTrader

To access your Rithmic account, follow these simple steps:

Open NinjaTrader Control Center: Navigate to the NinjaTrader Control Center window.
Go to Tools: Click on the "Tools" menu in the Control Center.
Uncheck Global Simulation Mode: Find "Global Simulation Mode" and ensure the box is unchecked. This will switch NinjaTrader from simulation mode to live mode.

NinjaTrader Control Center > Tools > Uncheck Global Simulation Mode

By following these steps, you’ll be able to view and access your ETF account in NinjaTrader.

When to Use Global Sim Mode

While it's important to disable Global Sim Mode to access live accounts, there are situations where simulation trading is useful. You can use Global Sim Mode for practice or testing strategies in a risk-free environment. However, when you're ready to trade live or view your funded account, make sure this mode is disabled.

Troubleshooting Tips

Account Still Not Showing? If your ETF account is still not visible after disabling Global Sim Mode, try logging out and back into NinjaTrader to refresh the system.
Check Connection: Ensure that your platform is properly connected to Rithmic or your data feed to avoid connection issues.
