I hate that when I buy at market, I have to set a stop and take profit when I click buy. If I don't there is no way to add those 2 items after I'm in. I also hate that I cannot see what my risk is when I move my stop in dollars. That is a precarious position to be in. For that reason, I'm not using it anymore.

Just seems glitchy when using it on tradingview. Connectivity issues, login issues, and now I have futures pairs in my watchlist, previously scouted some trades, now these same pairs are "unavailable" to trade on tradingview.
i have to repeatedly login about 30 times before it logs me in
Well that doesn't sound right! Feel free to reach out to our Support Team for troubleshooting help. You can message them directly at support@ninjatrader.com.
I like your leveraging but you have 2 to 5 tick slippage every time I exit, and never in my favor! I'm going back to Tradestation.
Hey, there - feel free to reach out to our Support Team about this to take a look at. Just shoot an email to support@ninjatrader.com and they'll take it from there.
Several times, my stop loss and take profit trades have vanished, and I could not add them back in. They sent me some instructions, but it closed the trade at a loss. This has happened several times. Not going to use them anymore.
Hey, there - sounds like you've already had a chance to speak with our Support Team, but want to make sure that you're always welcome to speak with our Orders Desk about any specific trades. You can reach them directly by emailing orders@ninjatrader.com.
Excellent to trade futures with different options
Great to hear - thanks for reviewing!
All kind of issues. The major one is sometimes, if I leave the NinjaTrader Brokerage open overnight, when I make my first trade in the morning, it won't show up on the screen. If you don't log off log back on, you could think the trade never executed. That's is so messed up.
Hey, there - our Support Team would be happy to look into this for you. Feel free to reach out to them at support@ninjatrader.com with any details you have so that they can investigate.
Not bad overall, no issues and reasonable fees. The only reason I wont give 5 stars is because you cant set your stop loss and take profit after taking the trade. This makes entering quickly difficult as I have to stop and make sure I have both set. In addition I'd also love to see an option for partial closures.
Thank you for this feedback! I've passed it along to our Development Team to review.
Worst experience! It just tooked a random trade from my account on its own! I was not even there no active order or stop loss, entered long trade marked as external entry wich I did not even take, closed my trades and went out for a while then came back I was in a trade with 5 MNQ contracts and unfortunately market was closed, waited till market opens to close trade it came down 102 points! Not just that, I left my account green and panick trade engage FOMO, REVENGE TRADE I dont know what was doing because of this shock. I lost all of my account, and non of my custom stoploss was working when I was on my trades, I have all the screen shots also contacted there support team no answer of yet! I will close my account and move somewhere safe! I'm glad that it was not that much, It could have been worse!
Hi, there - we would like to investigate this further. Could you please send any info you have to support@ninjatrader.com so we can investigate? Thank you!
NinjaTrader’s ATM/OCO order integration with TradingView still needs major improvement. When placing trades through Ninja from TradingView, the core benefits of TradingView’s stop-loss and take-profit interface disappear. You cannot drag or adjust a stop-loss from the entry unless it was originally placed with the order, and the same limitation applies to take-profit. The intuitive “click-and-drag” functionality that TradingView users rely on simply isn’t available through Ninja’s connection. Stop Loss and Take profit also doesn't show the Risk info, which is another big hurdle with this integration. Because of this, I found myself forced to execute trades directly on NinjaTrader app and only use TradingView for charting, which defeats the purpose of connecting the two platforms at least for me. I genuinely don’t understand how users manage active order adjustments on TV from this broker. It's a very risky implementation. I hope the NinjaTrader/TradingView development teams can address this integration gap. Enabling full SL/TP manipulation directly on TradingView charts—just like other supported brokers and paper trading on TV does, showing SL/TP ticks/points/currency values would dramatically improve usability for active traders and make the connection actually valuable. As a broker I think Ninja is pretty good, but not at usable state to trade with Tradingview.
Thank you for this great feedback. I'll be sure to pass it along to our Development Team to review as well.
Its great , it would be better if funding the account worked faster. Or perhaps I just need to put more money in the account at once
Glad you're enjoying overall! I'll be sure to share your feedback with the rest of our team to review as well.

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.
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)

A broker's rating on TradingView is based on its clients' reviews. We ensure broker ratings reflect real user experiences by allowing reviews only from verified TradingView users with active linked accounts. Recent ratings carry more weight, providing up-to-date insights for informed decisions. This approach promotes transparency and prevents manipulation. Make sure to rate your broker to help it improve its service and assits other users in their choice.
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.

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.
