Thanks Ryan,

For paper trade/sim can you still use NT8 with IB? Is there a $99 monthly fee now?

Hello,

To trade to an IB paper or live account you would need to sign up for the multi broker account plan. However you can trade to the internal Sim101 account without cost for practice trading if you prefer.

Thanks,

It looks like you have made some changes. So if I used you as an equity broker I can trade the software at increased fees or lower fees through monthly subscriptions correct? is NT8 a equities broker for trading? Are their an equities scanners of all NYSE and Nasdaq stocks? I know there is market analyzer, TIA

Hello,

The only charge that would come from NinjaTrader would be the monthly account subscription fee for the multi-broker add on to an account plan. Any commissions charged would be from your broker on a per trade basis.

NinjaTrader is only a futures broker, so any trading/data for equity products would need to be done through a supported 3rd party broker such as Interactive Brokers.

Market analyzer would be the closest feature to what you are describing as far as a list/scanner would go, using the sort feature of certain columns to help sort/filter by certain criteria.

Thanks for the help.

I trade US equities mostly. So if NT was my broker I could do that? I can use NT for free just with a higher commission to start? Is there data costs? Is the MA able to scan the database yet or Is there any scanning options?

Thank you!

Hello,

As mentioned, NinjaTrader is only a futures broker. To trade equities you would need to connect to Interactive Brokers and subscribe to our monthly multi broker plan for $99 a month.
