Please suggest a good Algo Trading Software

You can use Multicharts to build an algo, and in fact, we at Optimus Futures think it's one of the better software to build an algo and trade on it because it's stability in execution. But, HFT would require you to host it and get an API that is compatible with such low latency execution. You can also consider working directly with an API if you are a programmer. We have experience with numerous API and deployed CTS-T4 and Rithmic.

Hello,

Do you have algo traders at Optimus Futures that run their algos with NinjaTrader?

Not as far as I know. But, I am sure that some do with them directly.
Most of our guys use APIs directly and built their own and I think this is the case industry wide.

Thank you all, I am from Hong Kong, server co-location is very simple at here, and cost 25000 HKD half rack (from HKEX).

BUT all market makers are using same place, so co-location is not a significant advantage but a good algo is must.

There's a lot of risk when using something like MultiCharts. If a broker chooses to buy MultiCharts, they will not support competitors and you're stuck with it, when updates come out, old versions stop working. It has happened before.
Using a specific broker API is also risky though as you're stuck with them. But the versatility is much greater when using a general purpose language because you can almost do anything - that is not the case with some platform like MultiCharts, you can't use Pandas or Numpy to speed up certain operations or a module to make your life simpler.

What is your budget? There are dozens of solutions with a different prices, you may review or list of platforms for backtesting ...

pandas and numpy are preferable to the more expensive asics and you can also skip the assembly code.

Surprised no ones mentioned SmartQuant http://www.smartquant.com/index.html - seems built for this.

I evaluated it a few years ago but ultimately settled on MultiCharts (.NET)
