IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING STARTED

Be sure to download version 14.17 or higher of R|Trader and follow these instructions to connect.
ALWAYS monitor your NET P&L in R|Trader rather than NinjaTrader by clicking on Trader Dashboard, and locating the column
labeled P&L. R|Trader automatically calculates commissions and fees, while NinjaTrader does not display your Net P&L
accurately in real time. TopstepTrader Trade Reports are calculated using the data from R|Trader.
Trades placed in SIM101 will NOT be sent to us. Please be sure to trade in the correct account (found in Account Information
email).

How to: Batch Roll Contracts in NinjaTrader 8

NinjaTrader allows batch rollover of the contract expiry of all instruments across all instrument lists and windows on all open
workspaces. To perform this batch rollover please see the video and steps below.

Click to enable Adobe Flash Player.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Select the Tools menu within the Control Center followed by the Database menu item.
2. The grid for the Rollover futures instruments section will show each instrument that is eligible to be rolled over. A contract
is eligible to be rolled when today's date is greater than or equal to the rollover date defined for the instruments next
contract month.
3. When selecting Rollover, any instrument with a check mark in the Update column will be updated to the contract month in
the New Expiry column.

Note: Rolling over futures instruments will update the expiry of the instruments across all instrument lists and windows using the
instruments on all open workspaces. These changes on workspaces will need to be saved should you wish to preserve them. If there
are areas you still wish to use the old expiry with please be sure to switch them back to the old expiry or do not rollover at this
time.

Note: NinjaScript strategies are not rolled forward and must be manually rolled over.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost
without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. This is neither a solicitation
nor an offer to buy or sell futures, options or forex. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

CFTC Rules 4.41 - Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, because
the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading
programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses
similar to those shown.
