I'm going to try out Ninja trader I been with scottrade and just did some daytrading. As a newbie with Ninja trader which broker would be best to use? as I would like to nibble in futures, as well as Currency plus daytrading stocks Can I just just one broker for everything? Ed
At this time, Interactive Brokers and MB Trading offer all three asset classes under one brokerage that is supported by NinjaTrader. For futures, most major FCM's support us through hundreds of IB's world wide. Here is a link to some of our brokerage/FCM partners - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/partners_onlinetrading_brokers.htm
I just signed up for an ac with IB, seems that IB has some reasonably advanced trading software including risk reporting, trailing stop orders etc - can anyone confirm what benefits (functionality) Ninja Trader adds over that already available in the IB trading platform?
Worst Hey guys, you are asking the wrong questions. You should be asking about tech support. When you have problems, my experience with Ninja Trader is that you can get no help. When I used them there was NO telephone support. That should be your first worning. I emailed them for several days with also no response!!!!! I would not use that product again if they paid me. Their platform and or poor tech support cost me more than once. The last time I posted a negative comment about Ninja Trader, along with copies of some of the emails I had sent to them, it was deleted. I hope the mods have the guts to at least leave this one up!!!!!!! Beware!!!!! Nutsneal
I have not used NT for a very long time, but recently a friend of mine asked me to see if one of his systems that he is offering to the public could be traded using NT charts. So I have looked into that and found out that I really did not need any help for that. I did a NT template without any support. I think though that their support forum is pretty good, their help resources very good too. Just because they don't have phone support does not mean their product is bad. It may not be everybody's cup of tea, but they are certainly not bad at all.
