NinjaTrader x Kraken FAQ

Founded in 2003, NinjaTrader, LLC offers  a trusted platform for over 1.8 million professional futures traders. Ninjatrader Clearing, LLC is a Futures Commission Merchant registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and with the National Futures Association (NFA). 

NinjaTrader will operate as a standalone platform under the Kraken suite of products, leveraging Kraken’s scale to reach a broader global client base. You can continue to use NinjaTrader just as you do today, while we focus on unlocking growth opportunities for our clients, including through expanded trading opportunities for assets like crypto and crypto futures.

This acquisition strengthens Kraken’s position as an always-on technology platform. Sophisticated traders drive liquidity, demand cutting-edge tools and move rapidly across asset classes. This transaction better positions Kraken to deliver on those needs, reinforcing its position as a leading financial technology platform.

There will be no change in the near term. NinjaTrader and Kraken accounts are separate, you will need to sign up with both NinjaTrader or Kraken separately to trade Tradfi futures.
