Need Data for NinjaTrader 8 Data Providers in 2025

Two Types of Data Providers

NinjaTrader supports data from brokers as well as independent market data providers.

Broker-Supplied Data Feeds

If you trade through a supported broker, you can use their market data. The most popular option for Futures data for those trading with NinjaTrader is to use the NinjaTrader data feed. Other options are available but you have to pay a fee to use them (unless you own an old NinjaTrader license).

Standalone Data Feeds

These fees will probably be much higher (for the same data). If the company isn't making money by having you trade through them (as in the case with broker-supplied data) you will be paying a lot more for the same data. Generally it's usually cheaper to get money through your broker if it's offered. Other standalone data services can be offered through Kinetick, Rithmic, CQG, BarChart etc.

Data Providers: Trials for NinjaTrader

These links are not affilate links, so feel free to use them. We do not get paid, nor get any kickbacks. We have direct links here to signup pages for your convince. We've included as much information about them that we can, however to stay neutral we do not recommend any specific data providers. Some of these are brokers that also offer data. Therefore, we are not recommending you use any specific broker as well since we take a non-bias approach.

We do have a video on our youtube channel with the most important questions to ask when considering which broker is right for you that might help you determine things to watch for with brokers and data providers.
