    Anyone Use NT8 for Spread Betting with a UK Broker?

    Anyone Use NT8 for Spread Betting with a UK Broker?

    #2
    Hello gaz0001,

    Thank you for your inquiry and for using NinjaTrader!

    It would be possible to trade spot forex within the UI of the platform using a supported forex broker, such as FXCM. However, spread betting would be something that you'd need to contact the broker for more information about.

    I'll leave the discussion open for any members of the forum community to chime in.

      FXCM supports spreadbetting in Ninjatrader. You just need to open a Spreadbetting account with them, and then trade the CFD instruments within Ninjatrader. When you place your trades you're trading a quantity "Per-point value". So if you enter a trade for a quantity of "3" its $3 per point.

      However. Don't expect to get a professional account with FXCM. I applied 3 times, and despite meeting the "professional" criteria with two other brokers FXCM kept turning me down.

        Thanks for the info.

        It's something that I am considering in the future.

        As you know, Spread Betting is Tax free in the UK.

        Shame that there is only one company integrated into the NT8 platform. FXCM are not the most reputable Spread Betting /CFD firm in the region.

          I've dabbled in spreadbetting with FXCM on Ninjatrader, and let me tell you, it's been a rollercoaster ride. The platform itself is solid, but the application process for a professional account can be frustrating. Despite meeting the criteria with other brokers, FXCM kept denying me. It's something to consider if you're looking for more advanced features and lower fees.

            I had exactly the same experience with FXCM. I was accepted for a professional account with CityIndex, but every time I applied for FXCM they refused my application. They wanted job references for a company I worked for 10 years ago... The company doesn't exist any more so I couldn't get them.

            I came to the conclusion that they don't really want traders who are professional status. I think its because they use a non-dealing desk model for professional traders. So your trades go out to the market maker. But for non-professional traders FXCM take the other side of your trade... If they deem you to be a consistent loser they will just take your money - your losses go straight into their pocket. If you're a winner they will place your trades in the market. But by having keeping you as non-professional they have the option to do either.

            They were banned from doing business in the USA due to shady practices.

It's something to consider if you're looking for more advanced features and lower fees. I have no doubt that this is an interesting game. However, in my opinion, there are more modern online gambling games such as https://topcasinosreviews.in/casino/lucky-spins-review/ which I have been playing for several months now. The most interesting thing is that playing in an online casino can be not only a source of entertainment but also a way to make money if you approach it wisely and responsibly. Use the recommendations of reviews, choose reliable sites and follow a gaming strategy based on knowledge and experience.​


              Thanks for advice!

While I haven't personally delved into that specific combination, I've heard some positive buzz around NT8 for trading activities. It's always exciting to explore new avenues for trading, especially with a dynamic market like spread betting.

                    I’ve done some spread betting with FXCM on NT8, and honestly, it was a bit of a hassle. The platform works fine, but getting a professional account was way tougher than I expected. They kept asking for job references from years ago, which I couldn’t provide because the company doesn’t exist anymore. After that, I looked around for some tips and found themulligans.org pretty helpful for figuring out how to deal with stuff like this.

                      I qualified for a professional account with 2 other UK Brokers but FXCM turned me down again and again and again. I kept going back to them with yet more evidence but they kept finding reasons to refuse me sometimes with weeks between responses.

                      They really don't want people to have professional status. I don't know why. I would guess they want to make sure people are on their dealing desk model so that they'll profit from your losses.

                      I think with professional status you'll be non-dealing desk.

                      They are a scammy company whose practices have been so bad they're actually BANNED from operating in the USA

                        This user is an AI Spam bot. You can tell because although the user's post seems relevant it actually says a whole load of nothing.....

                        from a quick look at the users history I see that Gaby has removed spam links from this user's posts in the past.

                        I would guess what they do is write an AI Generated response and then Edit it a day or two later to add a spam link.

                        It's becoming a problem on this forum.

NT8 allows users to analyze market trends, implement automated trading strategies, and manage risk effectively. While spread betting itself is popular in the UK for its tax advantages and flexibility, users should ensure that their chosen broker is compatible with NinjaTrader. Community forums and user reviews can provide insights into the experience of others using NT8 for spread betting, helping newcomers make informed decisions.​
