From my own experience and the available data, trading with NINJA TRADER involves commission charges, but the structure is linked to futures contracts rather than traditional ECN or raw spread forex accounts. As a trader focused mainly on futures, I’ve noticed that NINJA TRADER’s commissions are presented on a per-contract basis, not per lot as with typical forex brokers. Depending on the pricing plan I choose—whether pay-as-you-go, monthly, or lifetime—the commission per micro contract ranges from $0.09 to $0.35 each side, while standard contracts range from $0.59 to $1.29 per side. It is important to clarify that NINJA TRADER specializes in index, crypto, metal, and energy futures and does not offer the standard spot forex ECN or raw spread accounts familiar to most forex traders. The platform’s transparency on commission per contract has been straightforward during my trading, but the risk profile and regulatory situation warrant caution. The broker’s regulatory license is classified as a “Suspicious Clone,” suggesting unresolved concerns about formal oversight. For me, these regulatory issues have always prompted careful consideration before committing significant capital, regardless of seemingly attractive pricing.
