Using NT8 to Trade SPX, SPY, or XSP options?

11-28-2022, 09:33 PM

Some of the older posts seem to say no, but NT current ads say yes? Can you trade options with the right setup? Like buy a call option in SPY? Put on a bullish put spread in SPX with stops, etc.? This would be amazing if so.

what would be the initial setup required? Linking to a TD account with a multi key? Or could you do it all straight from NT

Hello Hobbes,

You can trade options in the NinjaTrader platform. Please see the link below that shows which broker technologies support options.

NinjaTrader 8

Interactive Brokers and TD Ameritrade support options on stocks. You would need a live license key that is setup for Interactive Brokers or TD Ameritrade (or a multi broker license key).

You can window link an order entry window to the Options Chain window to submit orders. Please see the link below for more information.
