Offer Details: Open and fund a new live trading account through NinjaTrader Clearing, LLC ("NTC") with at least $100 in cleared funds within 30 calendar days after creating your user profile, and you will receive a $100 promotional account credit if you satisfy these offer terms. For purposes of this offer, a new account means the first live trading account opened by a customer with NinjaTrader Clearing, LLC under any NTC brand or d/b/a. Customers who currently have or previously had a live trading account with NTC, including closed, inactive, unfunded, or duplicate accounts, are not eligible.

The credit is not available for trading, margin, account minimums, buying power, or withdrawal until it is posted. Once posted, the credit may be used to support margin requirements, but it cannot be withdrawn or transferred for 60 days.

The promotional credit does not eliminate margin risk, guarantee that any position can be opened or maintained, or limit NTC’s right to require additional funds, liquidate positions, or collect any account deficit. You are responsible for maintaining enough funds to meet all margin requirements, which may change at any time. Please review our margin policy for more details. Offer available only to new individual customers. Joint accounts, IRA accounts, and customers classified as professional market-data subscribers by any applicable exchange are not eligible. Limit one credit per customer. Offer cannot be combined with other promotions. Credits may be taxable. Consult a tax professional about any tax obligations.
