Ninja Trader

If I wanted to use Ninja Trader, how do I go about it.
I am in Australia and use CMC as my broker.

1. Do I have to buy the program
2. Who do I use as a broker
3. How do I get live INSTANT data to trade Emini and Australian Shares.

Thankyou

Henry

If anyone is familiar with using the NinjaTrader platform in Australia -- using an account with NTBrokerage, or with any other broker -- please give @vjsnews a hand. I think there are Australian NT users on the forum, but I'm not sure, and the situation has changed over time regarding NT availability. Is Interactive Brokers an option, for example?

Ask your favorite search engine to find " futures trading brokerages in Australia".

You'll get many hits and on the brokerage's site they will tell you what they offer.

1. You have to buy it or lease it, because you want to trade Aussie shares you will have to go with the multilicence, don't buy from anyone here because you cant transfer licenses.
3. If you want to trade Australian shares and not just Eminis then you can use IB with NT8

I suspect it would be easy to transfer your CMC account to IB, I've only ever concentrated on the U.S markets.

Re:vjsnews

If you want to use Ninjatrader from Australia the simple process is throught Ninjatrader brokerage.

I have used them before and I have a family member who also uses them.

The only downside is their poor communication and/or lack of response.

I recently asked Ninjatrader Brokerage on two occasions the process of re-opening my old account, and questions regarding whether they support trading the Mini Dax (FDXM) futures, commisions, margins and minimum count balances but they do not respond.

As a consequence my wife then had to open an account which has not been an easy task.

I assumed that after sending them an email giving my wife permission to use my Ninjatrader Licence that I supplied and lodged into the Ninjatrader Platform that everything was ok.

Everything seemed to work as far as my wife's account being available in Ninjatrader but we have not been game to take a live trade because they have again sent a request to verify the Ninjatrader Licience, have not responded to emails other than automated ones and have not answered our question associated with where is the pre-market dax data and how do I know whether I am trading the micro dax.

We are in the process of deciding whether to close my wife's account rather then waste anymore time repeating ourselves and not receiving any responses to simple questions.

Not happy!

Regards
Stephen
