I'm just getting started with NinjaTrader. Liking the platform but don't like it's monthly fee

Are there any good brokers out there that subsidize the platform with a minimum RTs per month or minimum balance??

If you trade Forex, check with Gain (Forex.Com).

Other than them, I think you have to pay Ninja if you are transmitting live orders. As usual, it is possible I am wrong.

However, you could use the free version of Ninja Trader for charting and use the brokers free order entry system. Not as convenient, but you could then decide if it was worth $60 a month to make it convenient.

You can get NinjaTrader for "free" from Mirus Futures, Amp Futures or Velocity Futures. In each instance, "free" means you aren't paying NinjaTrader any monthly fee, but you are paying the broker a slightly higher commission rate for each trade.

Look for brokers who offer the NT direct edition for free. No ATM with this version.

So should i ask Mirus for a refund as i did not get a rebate on my commission rate for paying platform fees ?

I was hoping some 'discount' brokers would be willing to foot the $50/mo since they get $40-$100/day from most of us

I think if you are doing 20 to 50 RT a day, then $60 a month would not be a problem.
