What is an Event Contract? Everything You Want to Know.

Predict. Play. Win. Event contracts provide a new way to participate in the financial markets. Choose a market (predict the closing price for metals, energy, equities, and more) and decide if it will close above or below a certain price. It's that simple.

Through our partnership with Tradovate, you can now trade event contracts using your NinjaTrader Brokerage account in a dedicated mobile experience.




A strike is a price level that may be above or below the current market price. Pick a level (strike), then decide if the market will close above or below that level.

If you predict the price movement correctly, you will receive $100 per contract traded.*

Yes, you can trade multiple contracts if you would like to elevate the stakes. Event contracts are listed for a single business day and expire that day. There will be a fixed payout of $100 if the contract finishes in-the-money.

How Do Event Contracts Work?

Predict the daily closing price of some of the world's most popular markets like S&P, Nasdaq, Dow, metals, energies, and currencies.

  • It’s simple and intuitive. Pick the price you think the market will close at. If you predict correctly, you earn $100, never risking more than the price you paid.*
  • You can make predictions across the futures top markets including E-mini S&P, E-mini Nasdaq, E-mini Dow, WTI crude oil, natural gas, EUR/USD, gold, Bitcoin and more
