The only rates that really matter are the "all-in" rates, inclusive of commissions, exchange and/or NFA fees, and other miscellaneous broker charges (such as "overnight" handling fees).

Over the years I've used so many brokers but in recent years have stayed with Interactive Brokers. The universal account is what sold me - that and I literally cannot remember the last time I had a real issue with the connectivity/system or had any need to call them. It's not going to give you the warm and fuzzies working with IB, but you'll be confident with an account there.

 

On the forums besides the two you mention just above others that seem to be mentioned favorably include Mirus, AMP Futures and PFG.

I can highly recommend Infinity Futures. Excellent service, low commissions, and very nice trade platform. Any problems you can always reach somebody on the other end of the phone; very important if things go pear-shape.

If I remember correct on Ninja they lease for about $50 a month and lifetime was right about a grand. You will need data provided either by Kinetick or you can get the data from a broker compatible with Ninja. Probably best for most to try the free download first and/or the monthly lease then move to the lifetime when you decide to commit to it long-term.

So, if I just used it for charting or DOM view (what else if I cant trade?), would it still be free? no, because the exchanges would kill you for their market data revenue. So, rightly, you need to pass on exchange data fees if not trading on the data to the end user?

 

What do you charge for data, or am I missing something?

As much as I prefer Sierra Chart to Ninja I have to say that there isn't a problem there Dude.

 

Take my favourite broker, IB, and connect Sierra to IB and there are no data fees from the platform. For some things (like forex, hsi, spi and a few others) there are no fees even if you never ever trade. For many things the fees are covered as long as you make trades with a few dollars of commissions a week. For others like LSE there are quite substantial fees ... but they are from your broker or data source not from your trading platform anyway.

 

Sierra also include a number of free data options independent of your broker (or lack of one).

NinjaTrader is a platform only and allows you to connect to a data source through either a market data vendor or a brokerage account.

 

- If you have a brokerage account that is supported by NinjaTrader --> You likely don't have to pay any market data fees

- NinjaTrader provides access to free EOD through Kinetick - Streaming real time quotes and historical market data or Yahoo Finance and Google

- If you need real time data and don't have a brokerage account then yes, you would have to shell out some cash. We prefer Kinetick - Streaming real time quotes and historical market data but you can also use eSignal or IQFeed.

I've used a handful of brokers, the one that stood out the most was Infinity Futures. As close to TT as you can get without the $1500/mo, here's a free demo ( URL Deleted by Moderator ) Cunningham is a good clearing firm.

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
