Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Sign In to the Dashboard

Sign in to your 4UProfit account and open the Connections section from your dashboard.

  • Use the correct client profile
  • Open the Connections section
  • Check membership status where applicable

Follow the account-connection steps displayed in your dashboard after signing in.

2

Start the Futures Connection

Select the Futures or NinjaTrader connection option shown in your dashboard and begin the connection or authorization flow.

  • Choose Futures / NinjaTrader
  • Confirm that this is the intended account
  • Continue through the connection steps shown on screen

Follow the connection steps displayed in your dashboard and complete the requested information.

3

Select the Required Account Information

Select the intended NinjaTrader Futures account and complete the fields or authorization actions shown during the connection process.

  • Choose the correct Futures account
  • Review the selected provider or connection type
  • Complete every required field or authorization step shown

Enter only the information requested during the connection process and keep your access credentials private.

4

Submit and Verify

Submit the connection flow so the platform can validate whether the supported connection can communicate with the selected Futures account.

  • Review the selected account before submitting
  • Confirm that no required step is pending
  • Wait for the connection result

A technically verified connection does not by itself mean the account is operationally active.

5

Confirm Operational Activation

Review the connection status, account eligibility, and operational status shown in the dashboard after verification.

  • Confirm the intended account is connected
  • Check whether the account is Active
  • Review membership or eligibility requirements when applicable

Automated strategy activity begins only after the required Active status and conditions are satisfied.

Connection Status Guide

Use these statuses to distinguish a technical connection from operational activation. Your dashboard shows the current status of your account.

Connected AccountThe technical account connection was validated.
ActiveThe account is connected and eligible to receive strategy activity.
InactiveThe account may be connected but is waiting for activation, membership confirmation, or another required condition.
DisconnectedThe connection is unavailable or requires review.
ErrorThe submitted connection or selected account could not be verified.

What Happens After Verification

Verification is a sequence, not a promise of immediate activity.

  • The connection is validated
  • The selected Futures account is confirmed
  • Membership and eligibility conditions are checked when required
  • The operational status is updated
  • Strategy activity begins only after the account displays the required Active status

What to Check After Connecting

  • The correct NinjaTrader account is displayed
  • The connection status is correct
  • The operational status is correct
  • Membership is active where required
  • No pending or invalid fields remain
  • No visible error requires action
  • Synchronization or last-update information, only if shown in the dashboard

What You Can Monitor

  • Open positions
  • Closed trades
  • Account balance and equity
  • Daily, weekly, and monthly performance when displayed
  • Connection status and account activity
