{quote} Where did you find a demo futures account with Ninja Trader that let you practice for so many months??? Most of the demo accounts that I have seen with Ninja Trader are for about two weeks.
I believe they will renew the demo once in a 90 day period so you get 4 weeks total then I funded a live account and traded with live data by recording entries and exits in excel. Its not perfect on entries because of slippage etc and you can lie to yourself. I usually updated my excel log as I moved SL and TP. If I recall I opened the demo in June and live account in July. My excel demo trades run from July 27th to August 28th. First live trades were in September 2017.

Can open account with $1,000 and YM data is only $7 a month. Relatively cheap to keep the lights on to have the chart to look at.

If you don't take a trade in the month they charge you $25 as well.

This is what caused me to start taking some live trades. Seems like they let me slide for a month or two, then started charging $25 inactivity fee.

I was unaware of this. I never got charged so maybe they let it slide. I'm on Phillip Capital so maybe its just a Dorman thing?

Maybe I never had the issue since I take many trades in a month.

Sorry to hear. This is the dangerous thing when price is more or less in a range. But ok, after the facts, easy to say. Hope you recover fast. NQ was easier to trade today.

My trading has been crappy the last two weeks only winning half of my trades but still pulled off a good return because of the risk reward. Most of my losses are trades that I was taken out by a few points to watch the target hit.
