5-10K account day trading ES futures - Any broker recommendations?

Could I trade through Ninjatrader with you? Alternatively, I could pay for Ninja on my own even. I'm not too eager on learning a new platform now.

I had decided to pretty much go for Interactive Brokers, but their margin requirements are too high, IMO.

We can accommodate you with day trading margin, easy to execute platform and guide you through the installation, use, and execution. We do not support Ninja at the moment. You can try their brokerage as well for support.

Not if I have a paid for license on my own end either? May I ask why not?

You and your brokerage is getting great reviews and I'd love to open an account with you, but using Ninja has almost become a dealbreaker for me at this point.

When Ninja themselves got into the brokerage business ~3 years ago they severed ties with many of their supporting brokers because they wanted to assure they could get more business to their own house.

I'm hearing mixed things about that brokerage...

Alternatively, I could chart in Ninja and execute from some other platform. It's just an inconvenience I'd rather avoid. Or maybe it's not as bad as I think...

I truly appreciate the kind words! We do have a hard-working team.

Unfortunately, we do not control the licensing of NinjaTrader and since they become a broker there are certain rules who they activate, etc. We do not reject business, rather I don't want to bring you in and then not being able to activate it. It would not be fair to put you through the account process and then leave you in limbo.

I welcome you to call me directly and discuss alternatives if you wish. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck in trading.

I will later today.
 
I find it provoking that NT basically won't allow you to use their platform other than through their own brokerage. I would even pay for a full license if I could use it elsewhere, but obviously that's not an option.

That said, I am considering NT/Dorman. But, I'd prefer to hear some more reviews first.
