From checkout to live depth in a clean setup flow

Trade3DX is a standalone Windows application for IBKR and NinjaTrader 8. Start a 14-day trial without a card, activate one device, and connect the bridge for your platform.

The full Trade3DX activation path

Start on the website, finish inside the desktop app, and keep subscription management tied to the same account email.

Step 1

Subscribe on Pricing

Enter the email you want tied to the license, complete Stripe checkout, and return to the Trade3DX confirmation page.

Step 2

Copy Your Activation Code

After checkout, the website prepares your activation code. Copy it before leaving the confirmation page so it is ready for the desktop app.

Step 3

Download Both Packages

Get the signed Trade3DX Windows installer and either the IBKR bridge ZIP or the NinjaTrader 8 bridge ZIP from Downloads.

Step 4

Set up your chosen bridge

For IBKR, extract the bridge and follow the TWS / IB Gateway setup guide. For NinjaTrader 8, follow the NT8 installation and setup guide to import the ZIP and connect your data feed.

Step 5

Activate and Connect Live

Open Trade3DX, paste the activation code in Account, then run your chosen platform and bridge with subscribed live depth. Choose the same instrument in Trade3Dx.
