I was quoted $3.xx a few weeks ago from OEC - that was on the on-line quote generation tool.

If this is the commission they have provided you when asked, why do you ask then if this is correct?

The only rates that really matter are the "all-in" rates, inclusive of commissions, exchange and/or NFA fees, and other miscellaneous broker charges (such as "overnight" handling fees).

Over the years I've used so many brokers but in recent years have stayed with Interactive Brokers. The universal account is what sold me - that and I literally cannot remember the last time I had a real issue with the connectivity/system or had any need to call them. It's not going to give you the warm and fuzzies working with IB, but you'll be confident with an account there.

 

On the forums besides the two you mention just above others that seem to be mentioned favorably include Mirus, AMP Futures and PFG.

I can highly recommend Infinity Futures. Excellent service, low commissions, and very nice trade platform. Any problems you can always reach somebody on the other end of the phone; very important if things go pear-shape.

If I remember correct on Ninja they lease for about $50 a month and lifetime was right about a grand. You will need data provided either by Kinetick or you can get the data from a broker compatible with Ninja. Probably best for most to try the free download first and/or the monthly lease then move to the lifetime when you decide to commit to it long-term.

So, if I just used it for charting or DOM view (what else if I cant trade?), would it still be free? no, because the exchanges would kill you for their market data revenue. So, rightly, you need to pass on exchange data fees if not trading on the data to the end user?

 

What do you charge for data, or am I missing something?

As much as I prefer Sierra Chart to Ninja I have to say that there isn't a problem there Dude.

 

Take my favourite broker, IB, and connect Sierra to IB and there are no data fees from the platform. For some things (like forex, hsi, spi and a few others) there are no fees even if you never ever trade. For many things the fees are covered as long as you make trades with a few dollars of commissions a week. For others like LSE there are quite substantial fees ... but they are from your broker or data source not from your trading platform anyway.

 

Sierra also include a number of free data options independent of your broker (or lack of one).

NinjaTrader is a platform only and allows you to connect to a data source through either a market data vendor or a brokerage account.

 

- If you have a brokerage account that is supported by NinjaTrader --> You likely don't have to pay any market data fees

- NinjaTrader provides access to free EOD through Kinetick - Streaming real time quotes and historical market data or Yahoo Finance and Google

- If you need real time data and don't have a brokerage account then yes, you would have to shell out some cash. We prefer Kinetick - Streaming real time quotes and historical market data but you can also use eSignal or IQFeed.

I've used a handful of brokers, the one that stood out the most was Infinity Futures. As close to TT as you can get without the $1500/mo, here's a free demo ( URL Deleted by Moderator ) Cunningham is a good clearing firm.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
