NinjaTrader: the trading platform Clara Core runs on
The Trading Platform
Clara Core runs on NinjaTrader, the platform we use ourselves and the one every published statistic on this site comes from. Free to download, with unlimited simulated trading. A new account starts with a two-week trial of live data, MNQ included; after the trial the data is delayed by ten minutes. A funded NinjaTrader brokerage account includes Level I CME data for live and simulation while it stays funded, and a prop firm account comes with its own data. Trading costs $1.90 per contract round turn on a free account, all in, and that is the rate every figure we publish assumes.
