NinjaTrader,
a provider of futures trading technology, announced today (Tuesday) the limited
beta release of NinjaTrader Arena, a simulated trading challenge series,
alongside a redesigned mobile application for iOS and Android devices.
The main
goal? To encourage more traders to try their hand at the futures markets, which
are no longer reserved only for professionals.
NinjaTrader Presents New
Mobile App
The company
released an updated mobile application featuring a redesigned interface and
expanded functionality for futures traders. The mobile platform includes over
40 indicators that users can customize and apply directly to mobile charts.
According
to the NinjaTrader, the application provides trade submission capabilities,
position management tools, and market monitoring features. The mobile offering
aims to serve both newcomers to futures trading and experienced market
participants.
This is yet
another tool designed to encourage a new generation of traders to explore the
futures market. It
follows the launch of NinjaTrader Pulse at the end of last year—a new
sentiment indicator that provides real-time insights into positioning data.
These tools are emerging at a time when the average age of the platform’s users
has dropped from 48 to 38 years.
Arena Trading Competition
Moreover,
the company presented a new challenged-based offering. The Arena competition
will allow participants to engage in simulated futures trading scenarios
against other users for cash prizes without financial risk. Currently limited
to select users during the beta phase, the company plans to make the feature
available to all account holders at no cost in the near future.
“In
the Arena, futures traders can now put their skills on display in a risk-free
sim environment for the chance to win cash and bragging rights—all while being
part of our vibrant, growing community of more than 1.9 million users,”
said Martin Franchi, CEO of NinjaTrader.
“We provide educational tools and simulated trading environments, wrapped
in education and white glove service, enabling professionals and those who are
futures-curious an opportunity to explore this growing asset class.”
Sounds
almost like an offer from today’s prop firms? Maybe. NinjaTrader
is increasingly being chosen by proprietary trading firms, so the
platform’s creator might be looking to capitalize on this trend.
These
developments follow what the company describes as a year of user base growth in
2024. NinjaTrader, established in 2003, offers trading software along with
brokerage services including commission structures and technical support.
In the
meantime, the company hired
Jennifer Marszalek as Chief People Officer to use her experience in team-building.
