The tool arrives as the platform's average user age drops by a decade, from 48 to 38 years.
The real-time indicator dubbed Pulse will show information based on retail trader positioning data.
NinjaTrader,
a fintech platform specializing in retail futures trading, unveiled NinjaTrader
Pulse, a new sentiment indicator that provides real-time market positioning
data across major futures contracts.
NinjaTrader Launches
Real-Time Sentiment Tool for Retail Futures Traders
The
gauge-style tool analyzes millions of data points from the platform's retail
trading community to deliver comprehensive market sentiment for popular futures
contracts, including E-mini S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and crude oil futures,
along with their micro counterparts.
Martin Franchi, the CEO of NinjaTrader
“With
one of the world's largest retail futures trading communities, creating new
data products to support our trader's decision-making is a natural
progression,” said Martin Franchi, NinjaTrader CEO.
“NinjaTrader
Pulse provides professional futures traders with extensive, apprehensible
information to better inform their trading strategies and offers those who are
futures-curious an opportunity to access real-time market sentiment,” he explained.
The launch
comes amid surging retail interest in futures trading, particularly among
younger investors. NinjaTrader reports its average user age among the base of
1.7 million customers has dropped from 48 to 38 years old over the past five
years, reflecting growing millennial participation in futures markets.
“Our new
tool is designed to take complex information and make it easily digestible so
that traders of all experience levels can benefit from NinjaTrader Pulse’s
advanced insights,” said Brian Weis, Chief Product Officer at NinjaTrader. “With
just a glance, traders can better navigate the complexities of the futures
market with greater confidence.”
The
sentiment indicator is available free of charge to all platform users,
including demo accounts. It utilizes anonymized trading data from opted-in
NinjaTrader clients.
In recent
months, the futures trading platform hired a number of market professionals,
including ex-CME’s Anthony Crudele as Senior Vice President of NinjaTrader
Live. Crudele, a seasoned futures trading expert, will focus on expanding the
company’s educational offerings to better serve its growing user base.
In a
related development, NinjaTrader named Tobin McDaniel as its new President.
McDaniel brings 15 years of experience in retail trading and investing, having
most recently led SoFi Invest. Before that, he held senior roles at Charles
Schwab, where he spearheaded initiatives for self-directed investors.
These
appointments follow the addition of four executives earlier this year,
including Ryan Pitylak as Executive Vice President of Growth and Aditya
Nishandar as Chief Technology Officer. The new leadership team reflects
NinjaTrader’s focus on technological advancement, trader education, and
strategic partnerships.
However,
the company faces challenges on the regulatory front. In November, the National
Futures Association (NFA) filed a complaint against NinjaTrader Clearing and
its president, Michael Cavanaugh. The complaint alleges deficiencies in
anti-money laundering (AML) controls and suspicious activity monitoring.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
