Alternative to Ninja Trader / Mirus Futures for trading ES.

Quote from RL8093:

I was thinking the same thing. I've used a bunch of platforms & Ninja is very easy to use & learn - at least for the basic stuff.

I don't mean to be disrespectful to the thread starter but you're worried about paying for Ninja, you're calling it complex & you're looking to mentor others ... :eek: :confused: It's a really simple platform & one or two tiny trades makes the cost of Ninja ... if you can't understand or afford that .... :eek: ... Wow! ... :confused:

When I have a DOM up and Chart Trader enabled I see my working orders on both, no matter where order was placed. I never had to do anything to initiate that. That goes for manually entered orders and ATM strategies. Sounds like an issue to take to NT support.

Thanks for clarification! As you can conclude from my other posts, currently I only use the free (without real trading) edition of NinjaTrader. I'll get a newer version and see if synchronisation has been sorted out.

Yeah man, its sorted. You can switch instruments on the DOM and when you switch back your orders will be there, you can turn chart trader on and off (if the lines are in your way or something) and your orders will remain when you re-enable it. You can move resting orders around on one and they will move in real time on the other. As long as the DOM and your chart are of the same instrument they are synchronized. This may not be enabled on the demo version, but it is by default on the licensed version of 6.5
 
Yes, and another issue is we're looking for a web-based interface perhaps as well.

Does anyone have any info on "Strategy Runner" or the others like that?

Thanks!

Sure... It's really just not what I'm looking for in a Futures broker.
I like to really master something and I am very familiar with Scottrade for stocks, and IG Markets for Forex.
NT is more complicated then those are, and I plan on doing LESS with it then them too.. so learning it just seems very hard.
Also, I plan on teaching it to a number of the folks my partner and I mentor in Forex and NT would be quite difficult to do that with.

Hence, a basic Futures platform would be great!
:D
Anyone?


Thanks.

I can't imagine what could be more simple than NT. Put your cursor on the price level cilick on it, confirm and you have and entry order. Do the same for stop,

So again, do I really have to go through all of this to simply trade futures??

Please tell me there is an easier platform for Futures trading??
Alternatives to Ninja?


Let me know, thanks!

It takes all of a minute to configure, don't be such a lazy clam.

All I need now is a NT DOM on my HTC DROID Incredible phone and I will be all set!

Well, there is even better platform if you need only DOM. It is rithmic trader. This platform is awesome. If you have a zen-fire account(no matter which broker you use), you can use it for free and it has bracket orders. It is very light and VERY EASY to use!
 
Thanks for the suggestion!

Are you sure it is "rithmic trader"?
I couldn't find anything for that one but your description sounds great.

Please let me know, thanks!
 
I don't know if this is the right place to be or not. if not could somone pont me in the right direction?

im lookin for a data feed for ensign (a charting program). im with IB & their feed doesn't work for them. DNQ, Ninja & traderbytes were suggested. thoughts on any of these being better or another one? im trading equities only.
