Setting the Standard for Futures Trading on the Go with the NinjaTrader Mobile App: Placing a Market Order

Placing a market order quickly and efficiently is important for many active futures traders. Whether you’re buying or selling, the NinjaTrader mobile app lets you stay connected to the markets in real time like never before, all from the palm of your hand.

NinjaTrader’s mobile app allows futures traders in Germany to place market orders in three steps—open the trade ticket, configure the order type and quantity, and confirm execution—directly from the Quotes view on iPhone or Android.

Here, we walk you through how to place buy and sell market orders for Micro E-mini Nasdaq 100 (MNQ) futures from the Quotes view. This process is identical for European contracts such as Micro DAX (FDXS), Euro Bund, and Euro Stoxx 50.

How NinjaTrader provides futures market access in Germany

NinjaTrader operates in Germany under MiFID II through Payward Europe Digital Solutions (PEDSL-CY), a CySEC-licensed entity, giving German traders access to exchange-listed futures including DAX (FDAX), Micro DAX (FDXS), and major U.S. index futures through a single mobile platform. NinjaTrader’s transparent commissions start from $0.09 per contract; other fees apply.

Unlike CFDs, exchange-listed futures on NinjaTrader are centrally cleared, price-transparent, and accessible through an MiFID II investment firm.

Step 1: Open Your Trade Ticket

To open your trade ticket, start from the Quotes view in the app and tap the Trade button at the bottom centre of your screen. This brings up everything you need to enter a trade:

• Account details, including balance and any open positions
• The currently selected market (e.g., Micro E-mini S&P 500)
• The option to change to a different market

To change your market, simply tap the hourglass icon to search. For example, to switch to the Micro E-mini Nasdaq 100, type “MNQ,” tap the result, and your ticket will update accordingly.

Step 2: Configure Your Order

A market order on the NinjaTrader mobile app instructs the platform to buy or sell a futures contract at the best available price—the same mechanics apply whether you’re trading Micro E-mini Nasdaq 100 (MNQ) or European contracts such as Micro DAX (FDXS).

With your market selected, you’re ready to configure your market order:

• Go to the Buy/Sell toggle just under the instrument name. Green indicates a buy order; orange indicates a sell.
• The Quantity defaults to 1, but you can adjust it as needed.
• The Order Type defaults to “Market Order.” Tap the dropdown to view other available order types (more on those in future posts).

Once you’ve confirmed your selections, tap the green Place Buy Order or orange Place Sell Order button.

Step 3: Confirm and Execute Your Order

NinjaTrader’s mobile trading app for Germany, available on the App Store and Google Play, provides real-time position status, entry price, and open P&L immediately after order execution.

You’ll see a confirmation screen before your order is submitted. If you prefer to skip this in the future, you can disable it in your settings.

Tap Buy Market or Sell Market to execute the trade. You’ll then see a black confirmation ribbon at the bottom of your screen, along with your real-time position status, entry price, and open P&L.

Take Control of Your Trades—Anywhere, Anytime

Market orders are often used to enter or exit positions quickly at the best available price. With the NinjaTrader mobile app, the experience is built for speed, clarity, and control—so you can stay focused on the markets that matter most to you.
