NinjaTrader Group has launched in the UK, following its earlier 2026 expansion into Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Spain and wider EU markets. The company announced the move on 27 October.
NinjaTrader Group is a retail futures trading company. It enters the UK with a platform built exclusively for futures, offered as an alternative to multi-asset platforms that were not originally designed for futures traders.
Futures are standardised contracts traded directly on an exchange, and the company says active traders are increasingly choosing exchange-traded derivatives for greater price and execution transparency. According to the Futures Industry Association (FIA), global futures trading reached 3.18 billion contracts in July, up 18.4% from the same month a year earlier.
Chris Tripp, General Manager, Retail, NinjaTrader Group commented:
“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. Today UK traders get just that, with exchange-listed contracts, a public order book, and transparent per-contract pricing, all in a purpose-built platform. The UK has a serious trader community and they now have a platform to match their ambition.”
The platform gives UK traders direct access to global futures markets, including US equity index, energy, metals and FX futures on CME and Eurex. Tools include SuperDOM order entry, stop-loss and bracket orders, and strategy automation with NinjaScript. A native TradingView integration extends charting into NinjaTrader’s futures markets.
UK traders can try the platform in a full-featured simulation environment before trading live. The simulator uses virtual funds, so trades placed there are hypothetical and do not result in actual market positions or financial gains or losses.

Martin Franchi, Chief Executive Officer, NinjaTrader Group said:
“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. We’ve spent 20 years perfecting the trading experience, and we’re bringing that expertise to the UK: a purpose-built, futures-native destination defined by true price discovery, standardized contracts and trading on a centrally cleared exchange. Serious traders know the difference, and we’re here to give them exactly what they’ve been looking for.”
UK traders will have access to NinjaTrader’s desktop, web and mobile platforms, and can fund their accounts in GBP or USD. The mobile app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
