Forex DOM is - at least - highly questionable.

(IB supplies it also).

 

If you want to go for more valid DOM data look into CME currency futures (6E, 6B, 6A ...) for which DOM is supplied also with reasonable brokers (IB and others).

Hi, Mb trading can be used with Ninja trader. PFG Best can be also, but I do not recommend PFG for technical reasons. Also to run Ninja trader well you have to get the right combo of .net 2.0 framework, plus the upgrade patch. Higher versions of .net can disrupt it. Also don't forget any API file you may need for the brokers selected. Also you may need backfill, and MB doesn't supply this. If you open a basic PFG account, and get great free feeds and backfill, plus futures feeds free. I think it is like $500 to open, but then you can withdraw some.

Ninja is a tricky platform, it does have a reasonable repair option on the add/ remove program area. Paper trade with the DOM for awhile, It does freeze and crash sometimes. Also there is a fee for live trading. It does have amazing preset trailing stops and order presets. You have to work out your key code to offer access to the correct broker option selections, they change upon request from NT.

Of course there is trade station but, well I will not go back to them again.

Anyhow good luck with freeze free trading.

What are the technical reasons that you wouldn't recommend PFG?

It works well on the demo, but when we went live we had it twice just put in random orders, reverse positions, unable to exit, and just about sunk an account two times using it. They admit that their own advanced software is a bit shaky, I think the interface with the DOM has issues, this was about 6 months ago.

PFG customer service is not as good as MB for sorting it out, and NT said it had nothing to do with them. MB has been very solid, PFG left us hanging and guessing far too many times for many things.

    • 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/
