Tradeify and AI Workflows for NinjaTrader

Last reviewed: 2026-09-23. Verify the current rules on Tradeify's official site before relying on any specific number below.

Direct answer​

Tradeify offers several account families (Growth, Select, Lightning). The drawdown, daily loss, and consistency rules differ per family. The automation policy is the same for all of them: Tradeify allows bots and algorithms only if you are the sole owner of the strategy, no one else has access to or uses it, you do not use it at other prop firms, and it is not high-frequency. Copy trading is allowed only between accounts you own. Default to read-only inspection. Confirm your use meets those conditions before granting mcp:trade.

NinjaTrader 8 is only available on Tradeify's Tradovate-based accounts, logged in with your Tradeify Tradovate credentials. Tradeify's Rithmic-based and WealthCharts accounts cannot use NinjaTrader, so these workflows do not apply to them.

Account family overview​

  • Growth: trailing drawdown style, profit target, evaluation-to-funded path.
  • Select: alternate evaluation model.
  • Lightning: straight to a simulated funded account, with no evaluation.

Each family has its own rules. Verify on the official site.

FAQ​

Are Tradeify rules consistent across families?​

No. Lightning is different from Growth. Read the rule page for your account family.

Can I deploy strategies?​

Only a strategy you solely own. Tradeify allows bots and algorithms if no one else has access to or uses them, you do not run them at other prop firms, and they are not high-frequency. Tradeify may ask you to prove ownership, including a live video of you enabling the code on your own PC. Verify the current rules on the official site.
