	i find the ninja trader order system to be pretty nifty where it allows the user to trade straight off the chart. however there are other aspects which need improvement Does anyone know of a similar progam that allows the ability to trade off the chart?

Open E Cry has the best chart ordering bar none IMO.
Ninja is not bad on chart ordering but not on the level of OEC. In fact if I wasn't hellbent on using Tradestation when I go live I'd just use OEC as my broker.

As MC said, the trade from the chart feature is nice with OEC. I don't use it much myself, but it is a nice feature.

I love the oco order entry on the chart.
I look for support and resistance and slam in the order quick and easy.
You hold shift and right click at the target and stop price and you're done.

I am surprised no one has really come up with a hardcore stand alone simulator program...of course there is NT, etc.....and I see the practicality in that since it's also a real platform, as is OEC...

But still, it just surprises me that in the world of marketing everything to do with trading...that no one has really made a dedicated simulator program (that I am aware of at least).

It's a good point Reav and one that could easily be done by these existing vendors. There seems to always be some shortcoming in simulator trading.

I guess the answer is that most probably would rather learn on the software they are going to use in real-time vs. some simulator software and then switch over to something else.

So it's really a matter of why have some vendors done so little to their simulators?

[Reaver]

I see your point and agree with you there....

There does always seem to be some short coming in one way or another.

I have been using Ninja Trader for free with Open Tick data for about 40.00 per month....
Ninja Trader is very sophisticated...great classes for free...you can set your stops, trailing stops, etc. to suit your needs.

Keep cost down!

I believe OpenECry's monthly fee is $24.95 and that includes live, real data to a HUGE amount of exchanges all over the world.

Just keeping the cost down even more.

Awesome, I will check them out...do you know of any vendors offering market profile add ons for OEC?
