Is there a list of brokers supporting NT?

[Instamess]

I'm UK based and want to avail of Kinetic's offer of $50 pm if I have an account with a broker.

Apparently the existing two broker accounts I've got don't qualify as those brokers (IG and Oanda) don't support NT!

So I went to this list of NT brokers: http://www.ninjatrader.com/partners.php

Most of them I've never heard of. Then I saw FXCM and Alpari, two names I am familiar with and whose demo accounts I've tried.

After spending ages reading all the terms on the FXCM site and the different types of accounts etc etc., I discover that as I'm UK based I have to open an account with their UK office and they don't offer NT to UK accounts. (From the choices in the dropdown menu it appears that they do but if you click the "View All Account Types" you'll find that they don't: http://www.fxcm.co.uk/open-account/ )

The same thing again with Alpari (http://www.alpari.co.uk/trading-platforms)! I've just wasted a couple of hours on those two

Is there a list of NT supporting brokers we UK folk can use so we can avail of the Kinetick offer?

Hi Instamess,

Thank you for your post, and for your interest in Kinetick.

The Basic Service of Kinetick at $50/mo also includes the ability to add real-time time futures data at no additional cost as part of the CME waiver program, and for more information please see: http://www.kinetick.com/CME

The CME waiver program would only work with futures brokers, and so forex brokers like FXCM and Alpari would not be eligible for the waiver program.

Within the UK a futures broker that would support your eligibility would be Berkeley Futures: http://www.bfl.co.uk/

Alternatively, any supported futures broker should support your trading, and thus your ability to participate in the waiver program, and for a detailed list of supported brokers please see: http://www.ninjatrader.com/partners.php#Brokers

If you have any questions regarding this setup then please let me know by sending an email to sales[at]ninjatrader[dot]com.

Ouch! But thanks for pointing it out, that was useful. It's a shame Kinetick don't make this clear on their site.

That's the exact same list I linked to so that doesn't help me, I'm afraid. That list is for US customers, not people like me in the UK. The page says it's a partial list. Is there a full list and, more importantly, is there a list I could use without having to investigate broker after broker who won't accept/isn't suited to UK accounts?

I'll check them out, thanks. Is that the ONLY one?

Hi Instamess,

With futures brokers there is not typically a location limitation and any supported broker should work regardless of your location, but in addition to Berkeley there is also:

• AMP Futures
• Mirus Futures
• Optimus Futures
• Interactive Brokers (has an office in the UK)

But if you are seeking forex brokers only then you will want to consider:

• Interactive Brokers
• GAIN/Forex.com (they support UK based accounts

As for the list of brokers that is the most comprehensive list available due to the nature of the connections. NinjaTrader will support hundreds of brokers, including those listed, and the brokers that are supported are based on the technology so any introducing broker that offers any of the supported technologies should work.
