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.

Ninja gets kicked off and logs me out at times. would be potentially serious if in a trade.

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.
I’ve been using NinjaTrader alongside TradingView, and the combination has honestly been a game changer for my trading. I handle all of my order execution on the NinjaTrader app, and TradingView is where I do my charting. The best part is how smooth everything runs when you connect the two. I link my NinjaTrader account directly inside TradingView, so I can chart on TradingView but send trades straight to NinjaTrader. That means no lag, no freezing, and zero delays when entering or exiting a position, because all the actual execution is happening on the NinjaTrader side. I also love that NinjaTrader gives me a full demo account to practice with. I can backtest my setups, work on entries, and test strategy ideas in real time without risking anything. If you want clean charts, fast execution, and a reliable way to practice without blowing money, using TradingView for analysis and NinjaTrader for execution is the best balance I’ve found.
This is such great feedback! Glad you're enjoying NinjaTrader. Thanks for reviewing!
This information page says there is no Inactivity Fee, yet I was just charged $35. You need to update your information as I was just blind-sided by this fee. Buyer beware as the information here is FALSE and MISLEADING.
its extremely complex, not like my review matters but i would try to organize the work space similar to that of trade view what its all encompassed instead of dealing with multiple screens

Hey, there - NinjaTrader is futures-focused. You can view a list of offered products along with current margin requirements here: ninjatrader.com/pricing/margins/
They are reliable, fast and at a sustainable price for a beginner! I had my first green month with them...it's been a great experience. I'll keep working with them!
Congrats on your green month! Glad to hear you're enjoying your experience. Thanks for reviewing!
Fees charged to my account for not making any real trades while I have been practicing with the Sim. When I went to make a trade so that I would not be charged another $35.00, I got the message that there is not enough in the account to make a real trade. So, I need to deposit more funds to make a real trade. Or the admin fees will eventually drain my account while I continue to practice.
Hey, there - feel free to reach out to our Support Team for clarity around subscriptions and fees. You can email them directly at support@ninjatrader.com.

I will stop using ninja trader once my capital gets to my new broker The ST and TP are not like paper trading (I use Trading view). I like to see the dollar amounts in the boxes and be able to adjust while in a position. It is just cumbersome . Sorry

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!
cant place a trade, i cant get customer service to help only a bot
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!
Ive never lost so much with a broker so fast. They say open and trade with only $50 but do not explain the auto liquidation if you even go $5 below the $50 that will take the remainder of your account. I will be returning to my original trusted broker. I feel like I have been robbed.
Needs to be able to move take profit and stop loss after order is submitted like AMP
