NinjaTrader

Futures trading platform with desktop, web and mobile apps for retail traders

Visit NinjaTrader

NinjaTrader is a futures trading platform that provides access to listed futures markets on exchanges including CME, Eurex, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT, with accounts fundable in EUR or USD. It addresses the need for charting, order flow analysis, risk management and practice trading in a single environment, with simulated trading available for risk-free strategy testing.

The platform runs on desktop, web and mobile, with the desktop version supporting multi-monitor setups and third-party add-ons. Core tools include Order Flow+, Market Replay for tick-by-tick historical data, advanced charting, the Pulse indicator for sentiment across major futures instruments, real-time market data, Advanced Trade Management (ATM) for stop-loss and take-profit orders, and integrations with third-party tools such as TradingView. Account types include individual, joint, retirement and business.

NinjaTrader is aimed at futures traders across experience levels. Pricing is tiered into a free plan with no monthly fee, a monthly plan, and a lifetime plan purchased with a one-time payment, each offering progressively lower per-side commissions on micro and standard contracts. All plans include simulated trading, charting, third-party integrations and access to the desktop, web and mobile platforms; real-time data and advanced tools activate once a live account is funded.
