Spread Trading

[Ryedale]

I am an active spread trader at Interactive Brokers and would like to lease or buy NT. My requirement is small but necessary for purchase. The order entry platform must allow me to trade a futures inter-commodity spread through a vertical price scale (DOM) with bracket orders. TWS has that function, but no one I know can get it to work effectively. Can NT do this? Thanks. Rydale.

Hello Ryedale,

Are you referring to exchange traded spreads? If so currently we do not support exchange traded spreads at this time within NinjaTrader.

Thanks Christopher J., specifically the spread would be MNQZ20/MYMZ20. If NT can't accommodate the spread have you ever heard of any platform, ever, anywhere, that could do it? Thanks.

Within NinjaTrader you would be required to trade each expiry separately for example MNQ 09-20 in one SuperDOM then MNQ 12-20 within another SuperDOM and there is not an option to trade only the spread between the two expiries.

Many thanks,

Christopher J., I followed your link, but I couldn't find anything on spread trading, so I'm not sure it can do what I am asking. If it can it would be well worth the price. Thanks.

I guess its time to call in the programmer.
