What is an Event Contract? Everything You Want to Know.

Predict. Play. Win. Event contracts provide a new way to participate in the financial markets. Choose a market (predict the closing price for metals, energy, equities, and more) and decide if it will close above or below a certain price. It's that simple.

Through our partnership with Tradovate, you can now trade event contracts using your NinjaTrader Brokerage account in a dedicated mobile experience.

How Do Event Contracts Work?

Predict the daily closing price of some of the world's most popular markets like S&P, Nasdaq, Dow, metals, energies, and currencies.

  • It’s simple and intuitive. Pick the price you think the market will close at. If you predict correctly, you earn $20, never risking more than the price you paid.*
  • You can predict top 10 markets, including E-mini S&P, E-mini Nasdaq, E-mini Russell 2000, E-mini Dow, WTI Crude Oil, Natural Gas, EUR/USD, Gold, Silver, and Copper.
