Getting Started: Your First Tradovate Account with Top One Futures and How To Log In To The Platform

If this is your first time using a Tradovate/Ninjatrader account with Top One Futures, the very first thing you must do is complete and sign the Market Data Subscriber Certification.

This step is mandatory, and you must select Non-Professional to avoid professional data fees.

It only needs to be done one time when you first use Tradovate with Top One Futures.
You do not need to repeat this process every time you receive a new account.

➡️ Visit portal.toponefutures.com and log in to your trader dashboard.

In the Accounts list, locate your new Tradovate account.

Next to your account, click the 🔑 “Key” icon.

When you click it, you will see your Tradovate login credentials.
This will open a window showing:

These credentials belong to your Tradovate/Ninjatrader user profile, and all of your Tradovate/Ninjatrader-based Top One Futures accounts will always be linked under this same login.

Click “Launch Platform”, and you will be redirected to:

👉 https://trader.tradovate.com/welcome

Enter the exact credentials shown in your dashboard, then press Log In.

If this is your first time logging in, you will automatically be prompted with the:

You will see a screen titled UNIFORM SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT.
​

When asked to select your status:

✔ Choose: Non-Professional
❌ Do NOT select: Professional

Once selected, press Next to submit the agreement.

​

Once you’ve submitted the Non-Professional market data certification, you will be logged in automatically.
​
At this point, your Tradovate account is successfully activated and ready to use.
