Best Broker for Ninja Trader?

IB supports real-time and limited amounts of historical data. How much? You would need to check with them.

Hi Ray,

Thanks your reply. I might not go for IB yet my current account size is less than USD 10k, its stated at their website that 'A minimum equity deposit in cash or stock of USD 10,000 (or USD equivalent).' For new account registrations.

Looks like i'm limited to MB Trading only. But the problem with MB Trading its not all in one account. Hope NT can do something about it

Or is there any other broker better/equal than MB Trading that offers all in one account with cheaper commissions/fees like MBT?

Thanks

Yeah the IB minimum is a pain. For what its worth, its only required to open the account and only $2k is required to maintain it, so you can withdraw right away.

I wish they'd change it though.

Our next 6.5 update (Release 2 not 1) will support the ability to connect to GAIN first, then MBT so you can execute trades against both.

And will the problem with MBT FX and Esignal will be resolved aswell?

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

What problem would you be referring to?

[ryker]

At the moment I can't log to MB FX and use it as a data provider with esignal as a backup (and still be able to use esignal data for futures).

Hi ray,

Do you think you can come up with something to solve with MB Trading accounts? Since we cant login two account at the same time? One for Futures account and another for Forex account. Is there any solutions for this?

Unfortunately there is not solution for this.

[ryker]

And for my question above?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

I suspect we will have a solution for eSignal/MBT on next update. We made some changes based on expected behaviour on MBT API. No guarantee but I suspect it should do the trick.

Ok great, let's cross the finger so!
Thanks

How about if i connect to EFX and MBT at the same, can this be done?

Unfortunately there is not solution for this.

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

No this can't be done.

Hi Ray,

so looks like i need to connect to gain for forex and connect to mbt for futures.

So if i need to key in orders for forex i need to dc at Nt then connect to MBT Navigator, and place the order then reconnect back to NT? Or there is easier way to do this?

No this can't be done.
