1. A NinjaTrader account will NOT work, as part of the requirement is that you need to be able to connect your Sierra Chart software to your live account in order to verify your non-professional standing at least once a month. Sierra Chart can not connect to NinjaTrader.

2. All Prop Firms do not count towards the CME Group requirement. You need to be trading your own funds in your own private account.

3. Any live brokerage account to which Sierra Chart can connect will work. Sierra Chart has connectivity with Interactive Brokers, and brokers that support Rithmic, CQG, and Teton for their order routing. Although some CQG brokerages will not work, so you would have to check that with the individual broker.

Refer to the following for our recommendation on how to deal with this:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
