Stocks and Options

[Pete Collins]

Hi,

I know that Ninjatrader is completely gears up for futures/forex trading etc.

However, I am wondering if and when the move into stocks and options would occur? I feel that to rival platforms like Tradestation, eSignal and thinkorswim...it is something that I am sure would be a success.

I am a lifetime member of Ninjatrader and think it is hands down the best application for advanced charting...however I have my order execution with Interactive Brokers and use their TWS platform to execute option trades.

I did some 'digging' on the internet and think I found that Ninjatrader used to offer the ability to trade options years back in 2006?!

I am just wondering if this is something that is being planned/spoken about even. Judging by both the success and demand for Ninjatrader as a futures/charting platform - I am sure that it would be a success and a great way to grow/capture a larger share of the market. I believe that Ninjatrader would make an amazing platform to trade options and stocks from as well.

Any info would be appreciated - even if it is years down the line.

Thanks!

It is not possible to trade options in NinjaTrader. However, stocks are supported through other data feed providers that are supported in NinjaTrader.
