I simply don't like big changes where my money is involved, that's it.

I expect commissions to go up with the "greater service" spiel. Perhaps the 3rd-party integration will get some badly needed attention, though.

If Kraken acquires Lightspeed, they will be a premier force with which to be reckoned - then Schwab will buyout Kraken.

I recall when Citigroup bought Travelers Insurance, thinking cross-selling its products to a few million Travelers customers would be a win-win. It turned out to be a lose-lose situation and Citigroup spun out Travelers several years later. Whose 'great' idea was this?

1.5 billion reasons why NT did this. Simple as that.

My biggest question is how much clearing risk this will add to our accounts. Thought of a crypto firm owning Ninjatrader is concerning from that perspective.


"The day I became a winning trader was the day it became boring. Daily losses no longer bother me and daily wins no longer excited me. Took years of pain and busting a few accounts before finally got my mind right. I survived the darkness within and now just chillax and let my black box do the work."
