gftuk.com now has MT4 http://www.gftuk.com/Trading-Software/MT4/Default.aspx.NinjaTrader
for GFT was In Beta (Maybe for forex only?) http://www.ninjatrader.com/ConnectionGuides/GFT-Connection-Guide.php. I have not try this as I'm still using Ninjatrader 6.5, I think it will only work for Ninjatrader 7.0.

Yes, but GFT's UK site doesn't make it clear whether MT4 is for SB, and no mention of Ninja that I could find. It wouldn't really matter which version -- they're all better than most SB platforms.

If using Ninja would increase the likelyhood of the client making more money, you can sure that will be reason enough for the bookie spread betting cowboy outfits not to introduce it.
IB at least has a UK presence. There are plenty of other US brokers that have low day trading margins and commissions, plus a free basic version of Ninja.
"We are awaiting a new API from FXCM and we expect barring unforeseen circumstances to have something released early in the 1st half of 2012. "

But will it work with SB and CFD :?:

Also retail spread betting firms aren't exchanges or ECNs - how would you expect ninja or similar software to work, what would you expect to see in the DOM?
You could always try something like pro spreads - sort of a pseudo DMA platform as far as I'm aware.
I think IB data is incomplete... something like one in three ticks missing.
you're missing the point - there is no order book data to feed... just a bid/offer with no size associated... and the order may or may not even get filled at those prices.... you can't place an order in the book you're forced to cross the spread and accept that price or worse.. - the DOM is therefore redundant/pointelss
also bear in mind you're not trading standardised contracts... you're trading whatever size you want... a retail spread bet is an OTC product...
can you not trade from the chart with one of these bucket shops/spread betting firms?
surely you'd be better off trying to get the specific features you want from them than asking for an incompatible software package to be made available - a retail SB firm is likely to be reluctant to supply an API to begin with anyway - putting aside the fact you're not dealing with an actual order book in the first place or standardised contracts...

No I just don't think you guys really understand what you're asking for and why its unlikely to be provided...
If you want a particular set of features from a bucket shop you're likely only going to get them by them including them with their own software, for fairly obvious reasons.

everything really - you want to use a product commonly used by retail traders to trade exchange traded futures to work with a non standardised OTC product offered by a bookie - there is no market just a two way quote provided by a single counterparty that may or may not vary for an individual client.
whether ninja adapts its software to allow say some *******ised version to be offered to SB punters is another matter but at the moment you'd require an API feeding market data that doesn't exist as the 'market' you're trading is simply a two way quote from a bookie.
