About the NinjaTrader platform

Established in 2003, NinjaTrader offers software and brokerage services tailored to active traders. The platform provides a range of features for charting, market analysis, and live trading, available for free with a funded account.

Users can lease or purchase the software to unlock advanced order types, automated trading, and backtesting. Leasing options start at $60 monthly, while the one-time purchase fee is $1,099. NinjaTrader boasts a suite of technical analysis tools, including customizable technical indicators, Chart Trader for chart-based order entry, and thousands of third-party apps and add-ons.

Its charts are clean and fully customizable, allowing users to adjust colors, fonts, and layout according to their preferences. Technical indicators, strategies, and drawing tools can be easily inserted and customized within the chart. NinjaTrader supports various order types, including market, limit, stop market, stop-limit orders, and advanced OCO orders.

NinjaTrader’s Advanced Trade Management (ATM) feature allows users to define their trade management strategies, including predefined entries and exits, scaling positions, and intelligent stop-loss orders.
