Does MGE Labs support your broker?
MGE Labs records your trades inside NinjaTrader 8, so it works with any account NinjaTrader 8 can connect to: brokers, prop-firm accounts and simulation. Every fill is recorded on your PC as it happens. No broker password, no waiting for a sync.
How it connects
One add-on inside NinjaTrader 8. It listens to the fills of every account NinjaTrader is connected to, and sends the closed trades to your journal.
If NinjaTrader can trade it, MGE Labs records it
Live, prop-firm and Sim accounts, from any connection in NinjaTrader's Connections menu. Hand trades, ATM brackets and automated strategies alike.
Your broker login never leaves NinjaTrader
MGE Labs never asks for your broker or prop-firm credentials. It reads the fills NinjaTrader already has, on your own PC.
No sync to wait for
Each trade reaches your journal seconds after it closes, and is measured for Edge check about an hour later, from NinjaTrader's own data on your PC.
Common connections
NinjaTrader 8's own connection types. Your broker or prop firm tells you which one your account uses.
| Connection | Used for | MGE Labs |
|---|---|---|
| NinjaTrader (brokerage) | NinjaTrader's own futures brokerage accounts | Yes |
| Rithmic | Many futures brokers and prop-firm accounts | Yes |
| CQG | Futures brokers using CQG | Yes |
| Interactive Brokers | IBKR accounts through Trader Workstation | Yes |
| Simulation (Sim accounts) | Practice and strategy forward tests | Yes |
| Playback / backtest | Replays of past data | Not recorded, on purpose: replays are not real trades |
Other platforms (MetaTrader, TradingView, Thinkorswim and others): not yet. MGE Labs runs inside NinjaTrader 8. An import for other platforms is being considered; it would cover the journal but not the Edge check, which needs NinjaTrader's data on your PC.
Questions
My prop firm is not listed. Does it work?
If your firm gives you an account you can trade in NinjaTrader 8, yes. Check your firm's own rules before using any automation on an evaluation or funded account.
Do I need to keep a browser open?
No. NinjaTrader must be open on the PC with its connection; your journal is online around the clock.
Several accounts or PCs?
Yes. Every account connected in NinjaTrader is recorded, and you can pair more than one PC to the same journal.
