FEES ARE THE BEST AROUND. VERY SIMPLE TO ADD AND GET YOUR MONEY. LINKS BUTTERY SMOOTH WITH TRADING VIEW.

Thanks for reviewing! Feel free to reach out to us if you ever need anything at all.

Would like to see total PNL with fees/commissions subtracted so I can have a better overall price of my true PNL. Overall a nice brokerage set up. Would definitely recommend. I'm just a numbers guy and if I'm up $50 in earnings, but yet have made 5 trades I need to realize that my real profit is $40 etc.

Thanks for this feedback, I'll be sure to share with our development team. You can also submit feedback to us directly at support@ninjatrader.com.

Thanks for reviewing!

spread is okay but sucks because why do i have to pay for data twice, smh love ninjatrader and tradingview, but that kinda sucks,

2 of the tickers that finally met my buy in requirement went wonky, lagging, and data was cut off at critical trading time. I lost money!

User friendly, great if you're new to trading. Lots of helpful tools. Absolutely LOVE the playback feature and how it tracks every position for that session. I started journaling using that data and my trading improved within days. Absolutely phenomenal tool for traders looking to improve.

I really like the clear commissions and fee structure (no "hidden" fees charged after market close). The quick order execution is very nice also. I've also really been enjoying the daily Ninja Trader live streams on the their YouTube channel.

I absolutely hate that I can’t add a stop loss or take profit mid trade without closing my entire trade. That is a horrible feature of ninja trader on TradingView. Ninja trader is better on ninja trader’s windows app. But it absolutely sucks on TradingView

Low margin fees + Tradingview setup = solid.

I honestly love this broker more than I thought I would. Im able to trade directly from trading view. Plus the customer support system is great. I’ve literally asked these folks a million questions lol (well not a million) and all of them got answered. My funds are transferred nice and easy. I have nothing negative to say.

I would not recommend using Ninja Trader at all. The worst customer service because you have to do all the leg work for them because they have no idea what's going on with an account and can't see it apparently. Why do I have to give you screen shots of YOUR homepage and YOUR emails? Can't get my money that they allowed me to fund an untradeable account with back but that takes TEN DAYS! STAY AWAY!

Brokers usually require deposits to manage risk, cover trading costs, and comply with regulations. Deposits act as collateral for leveraged trades, ensuring brokers don’t face losses if a trade goes against a trader. They also help cover fees, prevent fraud, and ensure serious trading activity.
No, there's no fee if there's no activity on your account.

Brokers impose inactivity fees to cover maintenance costs, comply with regulations, and encourage active trading. These fees help offset expenses for managing inactive accounts and prevent account abandonment.
Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.

It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.

An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)

Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
Commissions in trading are fees that brokers charge for executing trades on behalf of traders. These costs help brokers maintain their platforms, provide essential services, and ensure smooth access to financial markets.

Understanding commission structures is essential for traders, as fees can impact overall profitability. Choosing a broker with competitive rates and transparent pricing ensures cost-effective trading.
