Meet ZillaTrader: The next-generation research & trading platform

From the team behind NINZA

Meet ZillaTrader.

The next step in how we build for traders.

For more than 12 years, NINZA has built tools that help traders study markets and develop their own approach. Now we are building ZillaTrader: a new platform designed to bring research, strategy development, and trading into a more connected workflow.

ZillaTrader Lifetime Essential: $500. Reserve your Founding path with $100, or start with 5 NinjaTrader 8 indicators for $250.

Phase 1 deposits are open through October 10, 2026.

Why we are building ZillaTrader

NINZA began with a simple goal: make useful trading tools for people who take their process seriously.

Over the years, conversations with traders and the work of building hundreds of products kept bringing us back to the same question:

What could we make possible if the platform itself were designed around the way traders research, test, and act on ideas?

ZillaTrader is our answer. After a year of development, we are preparing its first release for later in 2026. This is the beginning of a longer project, and we want the people who use our tools to help shape it as it grows.

If you know NINZA, you know the team behind this work. If you are new to us, you can explore the tools we make today while deciding whether ZillaTrader belongs in your future workflow.

Engineered for speed: near-instant responsiveness, more rapid backtesting and optimization, and faster path from idea to execution.

Convenient

Streamlined for smoother & easier workflows – with fewer steps, intuitive access, clear feedback, and less repetitive work.

Shareable

Inspired by web browsers – making ideas easy to explore, bookmark, and share widely without losing their original context.

Unique & Original

Shaped by distinctive capabilities that give traders innovative new ways to research, analyze, and trade.

Stable

Designed for smooth, stable operation and resilience under heavy loads – with critical operations prioritized and modules isolated.

Elegant

Refined down to the smallest detail for a modern polished interface that continually evolves to deliver an exceptional visual experience.

Powerful

Equipped to handle complex tasks at scale, helping traders work faster, go deeper, and research more systematically to uncover new edges.
