Brokers for Canadians Residents

[villarroelemilio]

Hi,

I'm new in the world of trading. I'm living in Canada and I would like to know which Brokers in Canada are available to work with Ninja trader platform?

Thanks.

Hello villarroelemilio,

Thank you for your interest in NinjaTrader.

At this time, Canadian residents can use the NinjaTrader platform to trade futures with either GFF Brokers or Interactive Brokers.

If you are interested trading spot forex, then you can use the NinjaTrader platform with either FXCM or CityIndex.

Let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hello, has this changed at all? For futures do we only have GFF and or IB for brokerages?

[gazuby]

Ya its the same. IB will give you better commissions but the margins are super high and you get 1 free withdrawal a month. GFF will give you higher commissions with super low margins and $40-50 withdrawal fees.

Hello Optionstrader23,

The information on this thread is still up to date.

Can you put in a ticket to get the Ninjatrader brokerage to work with Canadians? The fees are beyond ridiculous. I also use Apex, their fees are so cheap in comparison to GFF, but they don't offer brokerage services.

Hello Steve4616,

I cannot advise you to open an LLC as a way concealing your actual country of residence.

The two brokerage options that NinjaTrader offers for residents of Canada would be GFF Brokers or Interactive Brokers. There are no other options at this time.

oh weird, ok thanks

Hello Steve4616,

Cannon Trading is not an option. The options are GFF Brokers and Interactive Brokers.

Wouldn't any broker that offers rithmic be accessible through nt8?

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherD]

Hello snooop,

NinjaTrader cannot connect to any broker that offers Rithmic data.

The options for futures trading in Canada would be either GFF Brokers or Interactive Brokers.

When is the highlighted connection below used?

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherD]

Hello snooop,

NinjaTrader uses Rithmic data to connect to a handful of approved trader evaluation companies. Our platform cannot connect to Rithmic through any broker. As I have discussed, the options to trade futures for Canadian residents would be Interactive Brokers or GFF Brokers.

I thought that NT brokers was open for international traders?

Is there a list of supported countries from which one can open an account?

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherD]

Hello torento,

NinjaTrader Brokerage can service most countries, but there are some countries where the current regulatory environment prevents us from offering accounts. You can send a note to sales[AT]ninjatrader[DOT]com to see if you would be eligible to open an account.
