NinjaTrader Announces U.K. Launch of Retail Futures Platform

NinjaTrader Group announced the U.K. launch of its retail futures platform on Oct. 27, expanding its European footprint in markets that include futures tied to U.S. equity indexes.

The platform covers futures on U.S. equity indexes, energy, metals and foreign exchange traded on CME and EUREX. Customers can trade through desktop, web and mobile platforms and fund accounts in pounds sterling or U.S. dollars.

Tools include SuperDOM order entry, stop-loss and bracket orders, strategy automation through NinjaScript and native TradingView integration. A free simulator uses virtual funds, and its trades are hypothetical.

NinjaTrader’s 2026 European expansion also included Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Spain. Kraken completed its acquisition of NinjaTrader in May 2025.

Chris Tripp, general manager of retail at NinjaTrader Group, said U.K. traders want “direct access to underlying markets, more transparent pricing and execution, and a modern platform built exclusively for futures.”

NinjaTrader’s launch disclosure describes the company as an overseas firm not authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and says investors are not protected by the U.K. Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
