Ninjatrader Maintenance Schedule – Account Creation Delays Explained

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

Updated over 2 weeks ago

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.
