Quote from dbuff:
I use strategy desk(A TD Ameritrade program), for their charts and backtesting. Its reliable, and trade execution is pretty simple and fast; Buy and Sell points show up on the chart and you can execute them by right clicking and hitting sell, buy, buy short, etc. etc.(Sound familiar?). Ninja Trader is probbably alittle bit more impressive, but honestly Strategy Desk and Command Center get the job done, and they're free if you have an ameritrade account. Command Center has chart recognition also...Some cool features.
