Amp or NinjaTrader

[Jack W]

jmp470,

I ended up going with a firm not mentioned in the thread, and I'm very happy there. If you'd like more info, feel free to drop me a PM.

PS...nothing bad to say about either NT or AMP. Both were helpful, professional, and made my trials very easy.

Jack,
I'm currently evaluating several different platforms and brokers. Coming from the likes of Fidelity and TD Ameritrade make things interesting for me. While I'm not new to trading, I'm definitely new to the different platforms, data streams, etc.

I'm curious how you like AMP, as I've found NT to be the easiest software to use (I'm not a coder, and will not be automating my trading for a while). I linked NT to TD Ameritrade right now, as I find the charts much easier to see and execute off of.

I tried SC, but, I thought it was clunky compared to NT.

So I'm curious how its going for you.

If you're using TD Ameritrade and thought SC was clunky, you should try MotiveWave. I'm curious how you think we measure up compared to NT for ease of use. We also connect to AMP, IB, NT brokerage, and many others.

The idea of having to pay 1100 bucks for a platform, I may or may not like seems a little much to me.

The real bummer is you don't get OCO entries without paying for a lease or buy the platform for a lot of money.
