Offer terms

1. Offer Details

Open and fund a new live trading account with NinjaTrader Clearing, LLC d/b/a NinjaTrader, Kraken Derivatives US, and Tradovate ("NTC"), with first qualifying deposit of at least $250 in cleared funds denominated in U.S. dollars within 14 calendar days after creating a user profile, and you may receive a promotional account credit ("Credit") under the tier structure below if you satisfy these offer terms.

Qualifying DepositCredit
$250–$499$50
$500–$999$100
$1,000–$2,499$150
$2,500+$250

For purposes of this offer, a new account means the first live trading account opened by a customer with NTC. Customers who currently have, or previously had, a live trading account with NTC—including closed, inactive, unfunded, or duplicate accounts—are not eligible. Limit one Credit per customer. This offer cannot be combined with other NTC promotions. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors, and the Credit does not reduce, offset, or guarantee against that risk. See Section 4 (Risk Disclosures) below.

2. Holding Period and Credit Posting

The Credit will not post to your account until after a 180-calendar-day holding period beginning on the date your qualifying deposit is confirmed (the "Holding Period"). At the end of the Holding Period, NTC will confirm your eligibility for the Credit, including that your account's net deposits (total deposits into the account less total withdrawals from the account, excluding the Credit itself) (“Net Deposits”) equal or exceed your original qualifying deposit amount. If you remain eligible, NTC will post the Credit to your account during the next calendar month.

If, at any time during the Holding Period, you withdraw any portion of your qualifying deposit such that your Net Deposits fall below the original qualifying deposit amount, you will forfeit the Credit and will not receive it at the end of the Holding Period. You will not become eligible for a lower Credit tier based on your remaining Net Deposits. Your Credit tier is determined by your original qualifying deposit amount and will not be recalculated during the Holding Period based on subsequent deposits or withdrawals.

There is no restriction on your ability to withdraw your own funds at any time; however, if a withdrawal causes your Net Deposits to fall below your original qualifying deposit amount during the Holding Period, you will forfeit the Credit, and the withdrawal itself will not otherwise be restricted.

3. Credit Use Restrictions

The Credit is not available for trading, margin, account minimums, buying power, or withdrawal until it is posted at the end of the Holding Period. Once posted, the Credit may be used to support margin requirements and, subject to applicable margin and account requirements, is otherwise unrestricted.

4. Risk Disclosure

Futures trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose more than your initial investment. The Credit does not eliminate margin risk, guarantee that any position can be opened or maintained, or limit NTC's right to require additional funds, liquidate positions, or collect any account deficit. You are responsible for maintaining sufficient funds to meet all margin requirements, which may change at any time. Please review NTC's margin policy for more information. Before trading, review the CFTC and NFA advisories to understand these risks. View Risk Disclosure Statement.

5. Eligibility

This offer is available only to new individual customers of NTC. Joint accounts, IRA accounts, and customers classified as professional market-data subscribers by any applicable exchange are not eligible.

6. General Terms

Credits may be taxable. Consult a tax professional regarding any tax obligations. NTC may modify, suspend, or end this offer prospectively at any time. Any such modification, suspension, or termination will not affect your eligibility for a Credit if you made a qualifying deposit before the effective date of the change. NTC may withhold, reverse, or forfeit the Credit in cases of suspected fraud, abuse, duplicate accounts, returned or reversed deposits, account closure, violation of these terms or the customer agreement, or where required by law or regulation.

7. Additional Terms

By opening an account, or otherwise participating in this offer, you agree to these Offer Terms and to your Customer Agreement with NTC, which separately governs your account and any disputes relating to it. NTC's determination of your eligibility for, and the calculation of, any Credit is final, but nothing in these Offer Terms limits any right you may have under your Customer Agreement or applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NTC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from this offer or the administration of the Credit. NTC is not responsible for any delay in, or failure to meet, a deadline under these Offer Terms caused by a system outage or other event beyond NTC's reasonable control.

These Offer Terms, together with the Customer Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and NTC regarding this offer and supersede any other written or oral representations regarding the offer. This offer is void where prohibited by law and is not available to persons subject to U.S. economic sanctions or otherwise restricted from opening or maintaining an account with NTC.
