The platform our tools are built on.
Every ProEdge product is native NinjaScript for NinjaTrader 8 — no bridges, no third-party plugins, nothing sitting between your signals and your broker. You will need the platform and a market data feed. Both are below, and getting started costs nothing.
New to futures
Trade the simulator first.
NinjaTrader includes a free simulator with live market data and a funded practice account. You can run our indicators and strategies there against real market conditions without a cent at risk — which is exactly what we would tell you to do before going live, and why we do not sell trials.

The platform
Why we build for NinjaTrader 8.
We support one platform on purpose. Building natively for NinjaTrader means our strategies place orders directly, with no webhook, no relay service, and no extra point of failure between a signal and a fill.
Real-time futures data
Live market data across futures, forex, and equities, with the historical depth needed to backtest properly.
Advanced charting
The charting engine every ProEdge indicator is built on — custom bar types, multi-timeframe analysis, and full drawing tools.
Trade simulator
Sim101 gives you a funded practice account against live data. Run our strategies there before risking anything.
Strategy development
Native NinjaScript automation and a backtesting engine. It is why our strategies execute on the platform rather than through a bridge.
Market data
You need a data feed too.
The platform is only half of it. Our indicators read live and historical price data, so a feed is not optional — without one, nothing paints.
We recommend Kinetick. It is built for NinjaTrader, and end-of-day historical data is free, which is enough to install everything and see it working before you pay for real-time.
Get market dataSupported providers
- Kinetick — our recommendation, free end-of-day data
- CQG
- Rithmic
- Interactive Brokers
- Any other NinjaTrader-supported feed
Our software works with any feed NinjaTrader supports. The recommendation is about ease of setup, not a technical requirement.

From checkout to chart.
Five steps. Most support emails we get are step four.
- 01
Buy, then register your machine
Check out first — you do not need your Machine ID to pay. Once payment completes, open your account and register the computer you will run NinjaTrader on. Downloads unlock immediately after.
- 02
Find your Machine ID
In NinjaTrader, open the Control Center, then Help → About. Your Machine ID is listed there. Copy it exactly — it is the identifier your licence binds to.
- 03
Download and import
Download the .zip from your account. In NinjaTrader: Control Center → Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On, then select the file. Do not unzip it first.
- 04
Restart NinjaTrader
Close it completely and reopen. This is the step people skip, and it is the reason a freshly imported indicator does not appear in the list.
- 05
Add it to a chart
Open a chart, right-click → Indicators (or Strategies), find the ProEdge entry, configure your parameters and apply.
