trading SPY on Ninja, who to use for broker?

[Tasuki]

I'd like to try to trade the SPY on Ninjatrader. Is there a list somewhere of brokers I could use for trading an equity with Ninja?

Here is a list of data providers where you can get data from: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...HistoricalData

Here is a list of some of our supported brokerage partners: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...ng_brokers.htm

Thanks for the quick reply, Josh.
One of the brokerages listed is MBTrading, so maybe I'll go with them. I don't have to get my market data from MBTrading, do I? Couldn't I set it up so I used eSignal for data but used MBTrading for the brokerage?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Correct. You can use eSignal data for charting and MBT for order submissions.

Not sure if this will help you as this is the NT7 forum and all of my experience is NT8.

The official often posted in answer to that question is: ~Go look here...

Apart from any specific known existing broker accounts, constraints or goals the go answer for NT8 is ..

IB
Most stock trading seems to be through Interactive Brokers (IB)
If you are one who is serious about good and detailed data IB will come up short so if stocks is your focus purchase your market data from https://kinetick.com/

TDA
A few who like to live a little more on the edge are trading with NT8 connected to the TD Ameritrade API for data and order processing using an independently created TDA account. TDA data is free but not rocket fast and not as rich as the data from https://kinetick.com/.

Hello harry1c,

As hedgeplay informs, you can trade stocks in NinjaTrader 8 with Interactive Brokers and TD Ameritrade. TD Ameritrade is not supported in NinjaTrader 7, so you can only trade stocks in NinjaTrader 7 with Interactive Brokers.
