Hi all,
I am new-comer on Ninjatrader and to trading as a whole. I have played a bit with NinjaTrader using Gain / Forex.com for data feed. However, I notice that the spread (difference bertween Ask and Bid) is substantial high, from 5 to sometimes 7 or even 8 pips. Can someone please point to me if there are any brokers out there with tighter spreads? Also, I come accross many time the term of 'fixed spreads', are there any brokers that can be utilised by NinjaTrader with such? I come from a background working direct with broker's software like Ava trading. Where there's a fixed spread for 3 or 4 pips. Now, what is the real market data? At the real market the spread is higher? Or every broker has got its own Bid and Ask prices? |

I suggest you to trade Future Currencies because it is more secure and the fee is cheaper. Go to www.Interactive Brokers.com to analyse my suggestion.

Hi and thanks for your reply.
Does IB only do Future Currencies? Also, in which way is it more 'secure'? |
