The platform offers UK traders direct access to global futures markets, positioning itself as a futures-first alternative to multi-asset trading platforms not originally designed for derivatives trading.
- Launch Date: October 27, 2026
- Market Access: U.S. equity index, energy, metals, and FX futures on CME and EUREX
- Available Platforms: Desktop, web, and mobile
- Account Funding: GBP or USD
- Global Futures Volume: 3.18 billion contracts in July 2026, up 18.4% year-over-year
The platform features SuperDOM order entry, stop-loss and bracket orders, strategy automation through NinjaScript, and native TradingView integration. UK traders can access exchange-listed contracts with transparent per-contract pricing and a public order book. The company provides a full-featured simulation environment using virtual funds, allowing traders to test execution and strategies before trading live.
We’ve consistently heard the same thing from active traders in the UK; they want direct access to underlying markets, more transparent pricing and execution, and a modern platform built exclusively for futures.
– Chris Tripp, General Manager, Retail at NinjaTrader Group
UK traders deserve a platform built exclusively for futures, and that’s exactly what NinjaTrader delivers. For the first time, they have a direct access solution built with futures at its core – not as one product among many.
– Martin Franchi, CEO of NinjaTrader Group
