Trying Ninja Trader platform .. brokerage

[Q.E.D.]

Despite the warnings from some online comments, my account with Ninja was approved within a few hours.

I downloaded current platform, & tried setting-up some chart windows, as well as a trading DOM for futures.

However, despite logging on / off, at least 10+ times, I have been unable to save a workspace.

Customer support is responding, but so far, no progress.

I am trying to set-up a simulation account, during non-market hours, and while approved, I have not funded my account, pending at least some simulation.

I've traded > 40 years, with accounts at dozens of brokers, including current IB account > 20 years, but have never had as much trouble working with what is suppose to be a professional, polished platform, just trying to set-up the basics.

 

[Q.E.D.]

I tried a few suggestions from Support, but I've wasted enough time.

No longer interested in even testing simulation with Ninja.

NinjaTrader is very outdated.

Make sure you're not using a default workspace because changes in them don't get saved

Which futures trading platform(s) do you consider up to date, and what are the main features that make them an improvement over Ninja?

Put it this way. Ninja is okay for execution but for charting/analysis, Trading View blows Ninja out the water. I hold a lifetime license with Ninja but I don't necessarily chart on the platform because it's garbage in that sense. I chart on Trading View and execute on Ninja.

Are we a twin? Anyway, the reasons I stick to Ninja for execution are I can save different templates for ATM and copy trading to multiple brokers. If TV has these features, Ninja is death.

Exactly. If Ninja had the charting ability of Trading View, they'd be in a class by themselves as a platform.

Download NT7 if you can. It is far superior to NT8.

That's strange. I have been using NT8 for 5 years and have had zero issues.
