Broker/data package - Best Selection Today?

[bmind]

Hi,
I have been practicing for the past 3 months trading eminis using NinjaTrader 8 demo account with live data and have been very satisfied with the platform overall.

I have made the decision to buy the software and am not sure which broker/data package would be suitable for me. I would like to use the software to trade eminis and also analyze historical data of ETFs and Stock at new york exchange and potentially a few other exchanges (Japan, Hong Kong, etc for night trading). This is my evaluation criteria:

1. Broker Commissions for round trip
2. Prefer strongly that orders/stops/OCO reside at the exchange or data provider server at the minimum
3. Data quality/reliability/minimum downtime and different available data providers
4. Historical data access.
5. Ability to pull live and historical ETF and Stocks data with Ninjatrader

Which broker/data package do you suggest I select based on your experience?

Thank you for the reply. I am looking to trade emini S&P 500 and live in Canada.

So far I have found Global Futures and IB that I can open an account with. Is there any other broker that I can use NinjaTrader with?

Hello DaveE,

Thank you for the post.

This is correct. MB Trading is only supported for use with NinjaTrader 7.
