Ninjatrader Maintenance Schedule – Account Creation Delays Explained

Why your account may not process immediately after purchase during maintenance hours

NinjaTrader performs routine maintenance throughout the week.
During these maintenance windows, new accounts cannot be created and will remain in a pending queue until maintenance is completed.

If you purchase a Tradovate / Ninjatrader account during these hours, it may not appear immediately. This is normal and expected.

Below is the official NinjaTrader maintenance schedule.

What This Means for Your Purchase:

When maintenance is active:

  • New Tradovate/Ninjatrader accounts cannot be created immediately

  • Any purchase made during these windows will be placed in a queue

  • Your account will automatically be created once NinjaTrader’s maintenance has finished

  • There is no action needed from you

  • Support cannot manually speed up the creation during maintenance


How Long Will It Take After Maintenance Ends?

Once NinjaTrader finishes maintenance:

  • Your account is in the queue and is usually created within 15 minutes

  • In some cases, it may take a little longer depending on system load

Rest assured, you will receive your account as soon as NinjaTrader processes the queue.


Why Does This Happen?

All Tradovate-based accounts (including Top One Futures accounts) depend on NinjaTrader’s backend systems.

When NinjaTrader is offline for maintenance, account creation is temporarily paused.

This affects all prop firms using Tradovate/NinjaTrader, not only us.
