Options on futures.

[datahogg]

Hello Support,
I have a lifetime license with Ninja Trader. I noticed that it is also possible to trade options on futures. What platform is used. I have only the regular NT8 trading platform.
Is a separate account required for options trading?
Thanks H. Hampton.

Hello datahogg,

Thank you for creating your forum post with these details.

There are a few different data providers that support Options on Futures. Kinetick and Continuum Web API are to name a few of the providers that offer Futures Options data.

Here is a publicly available link which goes over the different data providers and the type of data they offer: NinjaTrader data by provider

When you have verified with your data provider that you are enabled to receive the options data you wish, you would be able to access the Options Chain window on the NinjaTrader 8 platform. This window displays a listing of all available options contracts, along with current quotes, for the selected instrument/security.

Here is a publicly available link to our Help Guide which goes over this topic in further detail: Options Chain
