NinjaTrader Group has appointed Christopher Tripp as
General Manager, International as the futures trading platform accelerates its
push into Europe.
The Kraken-owned platform recently entered the European market and
plans to use the new role to coordinate its international strategy, including
wider access to its platform, pricing and trader education outside the United
States.
Focus on European Rollout and Futures Demand
In his new position, Tripp will lead efforts to grow
NinjaTrader’s presence in overseas markets and support the rollout of its
platform across the European Union and the United Kingdom.
The platform is currently available in the Netherlands
and Germany, with broader EU and UK access expected later this year. CEO Martin
Franchi said the appointment provides important leadership to scale the
business and meet growing global demand for futures trading.
“His robust industry expertise showcases our
commitment to delivering a strong, futures-native offering that aligns with the
evolving global market structure and positions NinjaTrader alongside the
world’s leading global brokers.”
He described Tripp’s industry background as a fit for
the company’s aim to deliver a futures‑focused offering that reflects changes
in global market structure.

Tripp said NinjaTrader is entering Europe at a time
when interest in transparent, exchange‑traded futures is strong. He pointed to
the firm’s focus on technology and education for traders and said he plans to
help extend that approach across international markets as access expands in the
EU and beyond.
Tripp’s Background at IG and tastytrade
Tripp brings around 15 years of experience in
international and retail trading. He most recently served as UK Commercial
Director at IG Group and earlier as Head of Trading Products (UK).
Before that, he worked at tastytrade as Head of
International Expansion and previously held senior roles in North America,
including Chief Strategy Officer at tastytrade and Chief Commercial Officer for
IG North America.
His earlier career at IG covered positions such as
Chief of Staff to the Group CEO, Business Change Manager, Global Head of
Onboarding and Account Opening, Client Operations Manager, Trading Services
Manager and Sales Trader. He will be based in the UK as he supports
NinjaTrader’s global growth plans.
Recently, NinjaTrader expanded into proptrading with the launch of two dedicated platforms, NinjaTrader Prop and
Tradovate Prop. The offerings build on the company’s futures trading services,
providing prop traders with a complete set of tools for their trading.
