Playback of the Day's Action

I need a charting program where I can record and then playback the day's action. I work full time, and just don't have the ability to spend any focused time watching while the market is going. So, I have come up with the idea to record and then play it back later.

I am planning on trading futures, so that is what I want to record. I will likely stick with one of the emini products like ES, YM, or NQ.

I presume I will need to fund an account to get the datafeed. However, if I can just get past feeds somewhere and play those back, I am willing to do that too.

What are the options and recomedations that you have?

Thank you.

You can do this with NinjaTrader. NT is free in sim mode. You will have to connect it to a broker and IB is probably the cheapest to get data. It cost something like $10 a month if you don't generate $30 in commissions a month. You will have to open an account though. I am not sure what the minimum is. Check their website. NT's playback is pretty good though.

I think you can also do it with OEC. I haven't used OEC, so I don't know how good it is. You can sign up for a 15 day trial I think to check it out.

You can also do it with Ensign. I think it's subscription is around $40/month, but that includes downloading playback files I think.

I'm sure there are plenty others, but these are the ones coming to mind.

Multicharts beta 6 offers it too. Untested by me but people on their forums seem to like it. Seem to remember Ensign does too, years since I used it.
