I want your help to compile a list of the best free and paid for standalone (none browser based) charts platform software alternatives to MT4 and MT5 for spot forex trading.

Products that are of a similar or better quality than MT4 and MT5.

Especially any that display prices to four and not five decimal places on charts, which most Metatrader platforms do not do any more.

Thanks.

Sierra Chart - https://www.sierrachart.com/
Mature software, used in the industry, sophisticated charting engine. Used by a lot of Future Traders, too.

JForex:
Proprietary software from Dukascopy, offered by Atom8, too. Has a Java Api.

Multicharts - https://www.multicharts.com/
Last test is a few years ago, so no real opinion on that one.

Ninja trader is not "Server Based". It is not connected directly to the server as MT4 is. Ninja Trader is a "Simulated" platform.

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.
