This guide serves as a manual for connecting an account through NinjaTrader to ATAS.

{% hint style="success" %}
To connect via NinjaTrader, the following conditions must be met:

1\. NinjaTrader version 8.1.1.7 or higher.

2\. ATAS version Latest 6.0.4.316 or higher, or Beta 6.0.4.216 or higher.

3\. The NinjaTrader platform must be running with an active account and quotes connected.

4\. The ADataFeeder indicator should be added only to one chart; the window must be open and expanded.

5\. For the ADataFeeder to function correctly, it is necessary for the system time on the computer to be synchronized with the world time and match the time on NinjaTrader.

This indicator is automatically installed in NinjaTrader when ATAS is installed. Simply go to the indicators section in NinjaTrader and apply ADataFeeder to the desired chart. If NinjaTrader was running during the ATAS installation, you need to restart the program for the indicator to appear on the platform.

{% hint style="success" %}
If the ADataFeeder8 indicator is not in listed, it is necessary to close NinjaTrader and then reinstall ATAS. After reinstalling, files ADataFeederx86.dll and ADataFeederx64.dll will appear in the Documents/Ninja Trader 8/bin/Custom folder.

If the files do not appear, they can be downloaded [from the link.](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/116KYNdnx9yrmRMyZtjBTkH4jMoHcDyGs?usp=sharing)
