Which prop firms allow NinjaTrader?
12 of the 14 futures prop firms we track list NinjaTrader on their own platform pages. How you connect matters: most route NinjaTrader through Tradovate (CQG) or Rithmic, and a firm can support one and not the other.

Things to check before you buy an evaluation
- Connection type. TradeDay, for example, says NinjaTrader Desktop isn't available on its Rithmic connection, only via Tradovate. Read the firm's platform page for your account type.
- Platform lock-in. Some firms (Alpha Futures, Top One Futures) say the platform choice is fixed per account.
- License cost. NinjaTrader's own commission plans and license options are listed on NinjaTrader pricing; whether a prop firm covers it varies (Bulenox's FAQ mentions a free license on Master accounts).
"secondary" means the platform list came from a firm help article that isn't the dedicated platform page; we'd still confirm with the firm.
Last updated Nov 2026. Prop-firm rules change often; every claim links to the firm's own page so you can re-check before you trade. Not investment advice.
