NinjaTrader is a futures broker: plan prices are platform fees, per-contract commissions are charged per side on top, exchange, clearing and NFA fees are extra, and plan features need a funded account (any amount over $0).
Charting, backtesting and simulated trading cost nothing and need no funding. Opening an account comes with 14 days of live market data at no charge.
