Using Sovren with NinjaTrader
Sovren is a NinjaTrader 8 strategy for NQ and MNQ futures. Once you have NinjaTrader 8 installed, the setup guide walks you through importing Sovren and adding it to a chart. How Sovren works.
Sovren as a NinjaTrader 8 automated strategy
Sovren is a NinjaTrader Vendor. It runs inside NinjaTrader 8 as an automated strategy on a 1-minute NQ or MNQ chart and trades the 9:30 AM ET New York open: the opening range breakout rules are written out in full.
- Runs on any NinjaTrader 8 account your broker or prop firm allows to automate. See the NinjaTrader 8 NQ strategy for prop firms and the rules for MFFU, Tradeify, FundedNext and Lucid.
- Trade MNQ at one tenth of the NQ size, or run it on more than one account.
- One license runs on up to 2 devices, for example a home PC and a VPS.
- Needs a live or sim connection during the New York session to trade. Version 2.7 and later also run in NinjaTrader’s Strategy Analyzer for backtesting; it does not run with the Playback connection.

What you need in NinjaTrader 8
- NinjaTrader 8 with a real-time data feed.
- A connected broker or prop firm account that allows automated strategies, or a sim account to watch first.
- A 1-minute NQ or MNQ chart, with Sovren enabled before 9:30 AM ET. If it is enabled after 9:30 it sits that session out.
- A computer or VPS that stays on and connected through the New York session.
What it does not do
Sovren does not run with the Playback connection (version 2.7 and later do run in Strategy Analyzer), it only trades NQ and MNQ, and it takes no new entries after 11:00 AM ET. It is $79.99 a month or $699 a year, with no free trial (code FIRST25 makes the first month $59.99).
