Hi,

I have never traded forex but am told I can trade within my equity amt ($1000) in the proper proportions of risk. However, several people have said that real forex is not available on Ninja... then I run into a Ninja add saying they just now have forex. So what data feed that one can access from Ninja's choices will give "real forex" vs the fake forex.

I am not sure what real vs fake forex is?

That being said, NinjaTrader can be used to trade FX through:

- Our own brokerage via FXCM
- GAIN Capital/Forex.com
- Interactive Brokers
- MB Trading

I should add that we offer free platform and unlimited real-time and historical data for FX, you can register here for that - https://ninjatrader.com/

"real forex" vs the fake forex ???
You should check what's a dealing desk and what is a non dealing desk first and clarify. Ninja has always been able to trade Forex with few brokerages (at least since I know the product, 2008).
