Ready when you are

Press play. Each step shows what to click, in order.

Step 1 of 9

    Before you start

    You need three things: a Windows computer, a broker or prop-firm account that works with NinjaTrader, and your licence key from the email we sent you. It looks like TNT-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

    Set aside about twenty minutes. Most of it is waiting for downloads.

    If something looks different

    NinjaTrader moves menus around between versions, so your screen may not match exactly. The words stay the same: look for Tools, then Import, then NinjaScript Add-On.

    Stuck on one step? The written guide covers every screen, and what to do when it goes wrong: the full setup guide.

    Watching on a phone

    Use space to pause, and the arrows to step back and forth. The walkthrough shows a computer screen because that is where NinjaTrader runs — your phone can watch and control it later, but the platform itself stays on the PC.

    Every screen here is a simplified drawing, not a photograph — menus move between NinjaTrader versions, but the words stay the same. The written guide covers every screen and what to do when something goes wrong: the full setup guide. Questions: trader@tuneandtrade.com.
