If you get an error about Order Flow as shown in the snippet below:


 


  • Log in to your Tradovate account via their webpage.

Order Flow Tools Installation:


Go to the NinjaTrader homepage and download the necessary order flow tools.


Follow the installation instructions provided to integrate these tools into your NinjaTrader platform.
