What footprint software works with an Apex account?

Apex Trader Funding provides NinjaTrader by default and issues Rithmic credentials, so any footprint platform that reads a Rithmic feed or a NinjaTrader feed works. Senzoukria does both: it connects to your Apex account directly via Rithmic, or through a NinjaTrader bridge that reads the feed you already run locally — footprint, liquidity heatmap and DOM at $29/month flat.

Do I need extra credentials to use Senzoukria with Apex?

No, if you use the NinjaTrader bridge. Apex already gives you NinjaTrader; you drop one NinjaScript file into it and Senzoukria reads that same local feed — no second broker login. If you prefer to skip NinjaTrader entirely, you can instead sign in with the Rithmic username, password and system name Apex issued, and connect to Rithmic directly.

Is footprint software allowed on a funded Apex account?

Reading market data and charting it is fine — that is what every charting tool does. What prop firms restrict is automated order execution. Senzoukria is read-only on the broker side: it renders footprint from your feed and routes no orders, so nothing it does submits a trade on your behalf. Execution stays on your Apex platform. See our prop-firm rules guide for the details.

How much does it cost on top of Apex?

A flat $29/month, with a 14-day free trial and no card up front. That covers footprint, delta, imbalance, absorption, the liquidity heatmap, DOM and the GEX suite — one plan, no per-feature tiers. Your Apex data entitlement is separate and comes from Apex/Rithmic, not from us.

Footprint Software for Apex: Rithmic or NinjaTrader

Apex Trader Funding hands you two things when you pass: a NinjaTrader login and a set of Rithmic credentials. Either one is enough to put footprint charts on your Apex account. Senzoukria connects both ways — directly through Rithmic, or through a NinjaTrader bridge that reads your existing feed locally — and it routes no orders, which is what keeps it on the right side of Apex’s rulebook. Here is how to set it up.

Senzoukria · Learn · Updated July 2026

Apex Trader Funding is one of the largest futures prop firms, and it sets up new traders with NinjaTrader by default while also issuing Rithmic credentials. That is actually good news for charting: it means you have two separate doors into the same feed, and a footprint platform only needs one of them. Senzoukria opens either.

Two ways to put footprint on your Apex account

Path	What you do	When to pick it
NinjaTrader bridge	Drop one NinjaScript file into the NinjaTrader Apex already gave you	You already run NinjaTrader and want no extra credentials
Rithmic direct	Sign in with the Rithmic username / password / system name from Apex	You want to skip NinjaTrader, or you are on macOS / Linux

The NinjaTrader bridge

Because Apex ships NinjaTrader, the fastest path is to reuse it. You install a small NinjaScript bridge file, and Senzoukria reads the feed NinjaTrader is already receiving — locally, sub-5ms, with no additional broker login. Nothing new to authenticate, nothing routed anywhere off your machine. Your footprint, heatmap and DOM render from the exact feed your NinjaTrader chart sees.

Rithmic direct

If you would rather not keep NinjaTrader open — or you trade on a Mac or Linux machine where NinjaTrader does not run — sign in with your Apex-issued Rithmic credentials instead. Senzoukria speaks Rithmic's R|Protocol natively, so it connects to Rithmic without NinjaTrader in the picture at all. Same charts, one fewer app running.

Read-only — why that matters on a funded account

Whichever path you choose, Senzoukria places no orders. It subscribes to market data and draws charts; execution stays on your Apex platform. This is not an accident of scope — prop firms prohibit automated trading, and a third-party app that submits orders for you can be treated as a bot, which is grounds to fail an eval or lose a funded account. The rules that govern this are worth reading in full in our order-flow software and prop-firm rules guide.

What you get, and what it costs

One flat plan at $29/month covers footprint (bid/ask, delta, imbalance, absorption), the liquidity heatmap, DOM and the GEX suite — no per-feature tiers, a 14-day free trial, no card up front. Your market-data entitlement still comes from Apex/Rithmic; the app is what turns that feed into a footprint.
