Your AI, connected to NinjaTrader 8. With no way to trade.

Ask Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini or a local model about your NinjaTrader accounts, history, charts and code. Everything runs on your PC, with three layers that make it impossible to send a live order.

How it works

A question, your data, an answer

"What time of day do I lose the most money?", "how far am I from the trailing drawdown on each account?", "explain this strategy I downloaded". Your AI queries NinjaTrader and answers in plain language.

Safe by design

Trading is impossible, not optional

The server has no order tools, the local client rejects them and the NinjaTrader AddOn contains no code to send them. No cloud, no telemetry, no passwords asked.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need?
Windows 10/11 with NinjaTrader 8 (8.1.x), Python 3.10 or later and an AI app that supports MCP. The installer does the rest in about 5 minutes.
Can it really not trade?
On live accounts, no: there is no order tool at all, and all three layers would have to fail at once. Pro includes a practice mode that only accepts NinjaTrader simulation accounts.
Where does my data go?
NT8-MCP runs on your PC (127.0.0.1) and sends nothing to any server. What you discuss with your AI app follows that app's terms: with a cloud service, your questions and its answers go to it; with a local model, they don't.
How does the Pro license work?
With a key that is checked once a week. If you're offline, it keeps working for up to 30 days.
Is it official NinjaTrader software?
No. It's an independent project; NinjaTrader is a trademark of its owner.
Is it investment advice?
No. It's a tool to analyze your own data; the AI can be wrong, so check anything important in NinjaTrader.
