Guess its the least of the evils out there at the moment.
And that is what turned me off to NT. It's not free, regardless of what anyone may say. If it was free, how could NT stay in business, right?

So just keep that in mind when comparison shopping. You want stability and reliability, but you also should watch your business expenses. IMO Open ECry offers a very attractive free option that is also very solid. I came from a platform that I was paying $500/mo for and have to say that OEC has been great to me.

Re: Is Ninja/Zen Fast Enough for EMini Futures Trading

I think Ninja is great for newbies (because it is free to demo), and the cost is very reasonable, imho. I know of a trader who uses Ninja for charting and data (using a free demo), and places orders through another setup, if you're completely averse to fees.

Re: Is Ninja/Zen Fast Enough for EMini Futures Trading

Guess I must be a newbie then -))))

Agree with brownsfan. Check out the hidden costs in NT.
With a free lisc from amp u can't even access market wizard / or strategies.
With many providing bracket orders inclusive in fees, NT makes u buy the lisc.

Then there's all the little bugs u might experience. Go read their forum and see what the major questions are.

But eotrop indis will be available for NT in abt a mth I think. Thats if u're into the indis.

But to be fair its a maturing platform. So am giving it some rope.

I've been using Ninja with Zen-Fire for about a year. Very happy with the combination.

I use Ninja/Zen and Ninja/TT and I think the latter is faster, but both are excellent.
