innovative new products and developing world-class education designed for newer
traders is helping fuel the growth.”

NinjaTrader CEO also addressed the growing interest among investors in the
futures market and their desire to engage with the company's platform and
content. He acknowledged that while traditionally, traders had to open a funded

NinjaTrader offers Simulated Trading solution, where traders can practive, refine
their strategies, and familiarize themselves with the futures market without
risking real capital.
“We believe
we will see tremendous growth in this asset class,” Franchi concluded.
