    Learn More About Event Contracts

    When you make your prediction, you are taking a position knowing what your max profit or loss could be at expiration. The price you pay per contract is the most you can lose per contract and will be displayed upfront (as will the max profit you can earn if correct).

    A NFA fee of $0.02 and an order routing fee of $0.15 per contract and standard commissions will apply to all predictions. Fees subject to change.

    All times are in Central Time (CT) and Event contracts trade Sunday through Friday

NinjaTrader is a group of affiliated companies operating under NinjaTrader Group, LLC (“NTG”), including NinjaTrader, LLC (“NT”) and NinjaTrader Clearing, LLC d/b/a NinjaTrader, Kraken Derivatives US, and Tradovate (“NTC”).

Futures, security futures, options, foreign currency, digital asset, and event contract trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for everyone. An investor may lose all or more than the initial investment. Trading should be undertaken only with risk capital—funds that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle—and only by those who can afford such losses. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Prior to trading digital assets, review the CFTC and NFA advisories for additional information regarding the significant risks involved.
