Question about Buying NinjaTrader Lease and Market Data

[s_j_1900]

Hi ,

I am looking to open a new Futures trading account and have some questions.

1} If I have a Interactive brokers trading account, could I open an Lease with Ninja trader for the trading platform and Data ?

2} Do you provide Market data from CME for options on Equity Index Futures (Such as options on Futures contracts such as Emini S&P 500 etc)

3} Could we trade Options on Equity Index Futures (not regular options on stocks but the options on Equity Index Futures) from Ninja Trader ?

4} Is you CME Futures data live real time and tick to tick with Depth of Market details ? (This is the type of data I need - I do not want delayed or aggregated data)

5} Which data should I purchase if I need the above data (real time Live with tick information and Depth of Market ) (I read that you have Rithmic and CQG - do these provide the type of data I need) ?

Thank you
SJ

The NinjaTrader Brokerage does support futures and also supports the ES future (S&P 500 eMini).

Below is a link to the NinjaTrader 8 help guide on Data by provider which shows the supported connection technologies and the types of data these connections support.

Also here is a publicly available link to a list of the supported brokers with the NinjaTrader Platform.

Yes, data for exchanges that you are subscribed to with NinjaTrader Brokerage is real-time and is not delayed and provides Level II Market Depth data.

Both Rithmic and NinjaTrader Continuum provide real-time data with Level II Market Depth.

Hi Chelsea,

Thank you for your reply. It appears that you do not provide data to support options and options on futures. Is that correct ?


But IB does support options and options on futures. So how does that play ? Would I have to buy options in TWS (from IB) and trade futures from Ninja Trader ? Is that correct ? Or could I use the IB data for options and place the order on Ninja trader itself ? (That would mean I would get futures data from some provider such as CQG and options / options on futures data from IB and place orders for both futures and options on futures from Ninja trader ? Could you please clarify

The NinjaTrader platform does not support options data or options trading.

You will be able to trade futures within NinjaTrader to your Interactive Brokers account.

You should be able to place options and futures options trades within TWS directly.
