Going to give futures a try - Thoughts on NinjaTrader & a broker?

So after seeing too many slide by comments about "oh i trade futures- its the only way to go" .. I decided im jumping in..

Almost none of the brokers use mt4/mt5... Ninjatrader seems to be the best bet..

Anyone have a opinion on ninja? Also looking at using them as a broker.. Or Interactive Brokers...


Lets hear it guys--- good--- bad-- other options you like...???

Hmmm.. no one? Not sure if that is good or bad lol... Ill check back to see if anyone has an opinion either way..

I think after all this looking around.. Im going to go with multicharts... They are supposed to look great... and support a ton of brokers... So my thought is-- if i need to move to a new broker-- i can just take multicharts and my EA's/Indicators ect and be up and running fast...

yeah... that is what im going to do(this is me talking to myself)...

Multicharts is a great platform in my opinion. It's good to trade futures, if nothing else, just to see how they trade. coarse of sale, depth of market, the fucking algos placing and pulling trades to get optimal book position. seeing the liquidity shift approaching roll over. Well worth any learning curve.

Hi Bubayaga... What are you thoughts on multichats .net vs just the pl version of multicharts? Right now i code in mql4-- which is based off of c++.. Do you think knowing what i know from mql4 -- will help or hurt using the mc .net.. Part of me thinks ill be here wondering why c# does it like this vs mql4/c++ doing it like that... PowerLanguage looks easy enough to learn.. I just wonder how strong it is...

I'm not a coder, so i can't really comment. I used MC.net, broker was AMP (US entity).
