Apex Trader Funding is one of the largest futures prop firms. Apex sells Rithmic, Tradovate and WealthCharts accounts. If you buy a Rithmic-type Apex account, Apex issues Rithmic credentials, which work with NinjaTrader and other Rithmic platforms. That is good news for charting: you have two separate doors into the same feed, and a footprint platform only needs one of them. Senzoukria opens either. Tradovate and WealthCharts accounts cannot connect.
Two ways to put footprint on your Apex account
| Path | What you do | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|
| NinjaTrader bridge | Drop one read-only NinjaScript file into the NinjaTrader you run with your Apex Rithmic credentials | You already run NinjaTrader and want charts with no extra credentials (no orders through the bridge) |
| Rithmic direct | Sign in with the Rithmic username / password / system name from Apex (R | Protocol API access required) | You want to skip NinjaTrader, place manual orders from Senzoukria, or you are on macOS / Linux (beta) |
The NinjaTrader bridge
If you already run NinjaTrader with your Apex Rithmic credentials, the fastest path is to reuse it. You install a small NinjaScript bridge file, and Senzoukria reads your existing NinjaTrader feed locally, with no additional broker login. The bridge is read-only: it sends no orders. 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, if your account is enabled for Rithmic's R | Protocol API (one market-data session per login). 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.
Check the execution rules for your account
Apex prohibits automated trading on all account types; use manual orders only on Apex. In Senzoukria, manual orders are available only on the direct Rithmic connection; the NinjaTrader bridge is read-only. Strategy automation is paused on real accounts. Confirm your firm permits the connection you intend to use. Read 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, starting with $9 for 14 days and $20 for the first month, then $29 a month locked while your plan stays active. Your market-data entitlement still comes from Apex/Rithmic; the app is what turns that feed into a footprint.
Chart your Apex feed — download Senzoukria and connect via the NinjaTrader bridge or Rithmic direct, or check pricing. $9 for 14 days, then $20 the first month and $29 a month after. Also compare it against ATAS and Quantower.
Frequently asked questions
- What footprint software works with an Apex account?
- If you buy a Rithmic-type Apex account, Apex issues Rithmic credentials, which work with NinjaTrader and other Rithmic platforms. Apex also sells Tradovate and WealthCharts accounts, which Senzoukria cannot connect to. Senzoukria connects to a Rithmic-type Apex account directly via Rithmic, if the account is enabled for Rithmic’s R | Protocol API (one market-data session per login), or through a read-only NinjaTrader bridge that reads your existing NinjaTrader feed 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. If you already run NinjaTrader with your Apex Rithmic credentials, you drop one NinjaScript file into it and Senzoukria reads that same local feed, read-only, with no second broker login. If you prefer to skip NinjaTrader, you can instead sign in with the Rithmic username, password and system name Apex issued, if your account is enabled for Rithmic’s R | Protocol API (one market-data session per login).
- Is footprint software allowed on a funded Apex account?
- Reading market data and charting it is what every charting tool does; confirm Apex’s current rules on third-party software. Apex prohibits automated trading on all account types; use manual orders only on Apex. In Senzoukria, manual orders are available only on the direct Rithmic connection (the NinjaTrader bridge is read-only), and strategy automation is paused on real accounts. See our prop-firm rules guide for the details.
- How much does it cost on top of Apex?
- A flat $29/month, locked while your plan stays active, starting with $9 for 14 days and $20 for the first month. 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.
