Question About Leasing NT and MbTrading

[SharonSS]

Hi,

I've been using the NT free version with MbTrading data trading currencies.

However, I'm considering opening a Futures account with them next month. I'm wondering what is different, if anything, when I do that. I was considering buying the NT lease for 6 months if it's still on special next month.

With a Futures acct with MbTrading, is it a requirement to lease/buy NT? It seems to me I've read someone else on this forum (years ago) making mention of this or something that was different when dealing with Futures through this broker. Also, can one still trade using the MbTrading platform?

Sorry if my questions seem dumb, it just seems I remember something different regarding Future account.

Also, why don't you have on your web site how much it is to open an account with NT? I notice that many brokers are now doing the same thing. That's what I like about MbTrading - all information is in plain sight to see. Nothing hidden.

Regards,
Sharon

Hello Sharon,

Thank you for your note.

Can you please clarify what differences you are referring to when trading futures or forex with MB Trading? There are no differences as far as such things as connecting or charting within NinjaTrader whether you are trading forex or futures.

It is only required to purchase or lease a live NinjaTrader license key when you are ready to trade live using NinjaTrader with your MB Trading account. You can continue to use the free edition of NinjaTrader with access to all of NinjaTrader’s features for simulation trading until you are ready to begin live trading. Then, once you are ready to trade live, you will want to purchase a live license key.

NinjaTrader has several purchasing options, from owning to leasing. A lifetime license is by far the best value when trading live with NinjaTrader as it will be with you for as long as you are trading. But we also offer several shorter-term leasing options designed so you can choose the best option to fit your trading needs. You can review everything that we have to offer the active trader at the link below:

You should still be able to trade through the MB Trading platform with your account if you would like.
