Full Trial
For 30 days, BloodHound and BlackBird run with every feature enabled, except live trading. HeatMap Pro and both bar types are included too. Each product’s 30 days start the first time you run that product.
Virtual machines
In a virtual machine (VMware, VirtualBox and similar) or on a VPS, the trial always starts in Restricted Trial mode. Contact support for help.
Restricted Trial
After 30 days, and always in a virtual machine, the trial keeps running in Restricted Trial mode. You can still learn the software, get to know the interface and build systems as much as you like, with these limits:
| Product | In Restricted Trial |
|---|---|
| BloodHound | No calculations on incoming real-time data: when you reload the chart, the last 5 bars show no signals or plots. The Playback connection works only for the last 5 days. Multiple timeframes are off. Backtesting is limited to 60 days of intraday data, or 180 days of daily bars. Live trading is off: run NinjaTrader in Global Simulation Mode. |
| BlackBird | No orders are submitted, so backtesting is off. You can still create orders, to practice with the interface. Requires Global Simulation Mode. |
| Bar types | Their properties are locked to preset values, so you can build a chart and look at the bars, but not change them. |
| HeatMap Pro | Off. |
Enable Global Simulation Mode
BlackBird needs NinjaTrader’s Global Simulation Mode once the full trial has ended. In the Control Center, open the Tools menu and check Global Simulation Mode (see NinjaTrader’s Global Simulation Mode help). Once you buy a license, this restriction goes away.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my trial start with only a few days left?
Each product’s full trial starts the first time you load it. You probably ran it once before, for a quick look (who doesn’t?), and that started the countdown. The software keeps running after the 30 days, and if you need another full trial, just contact support.
Can I get a trial extension?
Yes. Contact support for another full trial: we know most people can’t spend all their time on a trial. Please don’t abuse it; we reserve the right to stop extending full trials. Either way, the software keeps running in Restricted Trial mode so you can keep learning.
