Enabling Multi-Provider Mode

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.

The Solution: How to Enable Multi-Provider Mode​

  1. Go to the Settings Menu
    • Open NinjaTrader and navigate to Tools > Options.
  2. Enable Multi-Provider Mode
    • In the Options menu, locate the Multi-Provider Mode setting.
    • Check the box to enable it.
  3. Restart CrossTrade
    • After enabling Multi-Provider Mode, restart the platform to apply the changes.
  4. Connect to Your Accounts
    • Once restarted, go to the Connections menu.
    • Click Configure to add your prop firm accounts.
    • Any accounts set to Connect on Startup will automatically connect.

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!
