Hi All. I was day trading /swing trading the MES (baby of ESMINI) using NinjaTrader 8 using price action only and tick charts

I want to now move to trading the UK Markets as I am UK based.

I want to trade the FTSEs markets as a whole- the same way I was doing the MES.

Can anyone let me know what platform to use, what feeds, broker and if leverage is possible.
I don't want to just trade single shares or stocks but the index as a whole but if single shares or stocks are available that would be also good.

Thank you.
Novice Trader.

Hi Waqarshah, in NT8 the FTSE100 equivalent is the Z instrument, but I believe there isn't the micro.
In the CME Group there is E-MINI FTSE100 with globex code FT1H1.

I hope I was helpfull.

Lots of brokers are offering the FTSE 100 index. You can google "Brokers For Trading FTSE 100" and check what platforms are available for trading and on what terms.
A lot of Metatrader brokers have FTSE quotes, but I don't know if this is the platform you are looking for.

Not the platform is important, important is the data and for the FTSE100-futures you have to pay the (expensive) ICE-data

I wouldn't decide at all based on ICE data fees, mostly because the exchange fees per side are much much lower than cme.

Without a seat, ES is 1.23$ + 0.02$ per side = 1.25$
Ftse100 : exchange 0.09£ + clearing 0.21£ = 0.30£ or 0.41$ at 1.372 exchange rate.

That's 80 cents per side or 1.6$RT. The data feed is about 100$ more, which is paid after 65RT.

The ftse100 would also be cheaper for him to trade since he would get a pound based account, meaning reduced currency conversion costs, and if he's UK based, the ftse is the most heavily index contract traded in europe after eurostoxx.

If you're looking for a demo feed for the ftse and gilt, cts-t4 has it, and it is rock solid
