Options trading on the nt platform

[dmking]

I came across a post from Ray in a earlier post this year part of which said: "In addition to the FREE NinjaTrader platform included with all brokerage accounts, traders will also have access to the CQG Desktop web-based platform to trade options on futures."

Are there any plans to have options trading capability in NT? I already have access to ThinkorSwim for this and don't want yet another platform (CQG). NT is a good platform and it would be straight forward to add Options capability. Do you guys have a non-compete or contractual arrangement that precludes you from offering Options on NT platform? I think a lot of traders have asked about this.

Thanks,

D

Hello dmking, thanks for your post.

There are no immediate plans that have been announced, but it is a possibility for the future since NinjaTrader brokerage can trade options on futures now. There is a feature request to add options trading support in the platform I will add a vote to feature request ID SFT-369.

Please check the release notes upon each release to track added features:

I'm excited to be able to disclose that I will be doing a futures.io webinar on July 13th where a small portion of that will be a preview of upcoming Options on Futures support that we've been working on. More will be announced once we get closer to release.
