Ninja Trader VS MetaTrader

Recommended Posts

It depends what you want to do.

 

Metatrader has the big benefit of being free - but only for metatrader supporting brokers (read, mainly bucketshops). I don't know how their "free" model works but I guess its like free forex trading - supported by spread or kickbacks from participating brokers or some such so it quite possibly isn't actually free.

 

For a real broker like Interactive Brokers (IB) you need to use something like NinjaTrader or Sierra Chart. If you don't go down the "free" route you should look at SC. Also, SC (and probably NT) are IMO probably more suited to a pro trader than MT.

The most important for me is that I can run semi-automated and automated system on the software. And for this I also need to backtest my system.

 

kiwi : What does the SC & IMO acronym mean please.

Thanks

2 cents :)

I've demoed Sierra, as thought to use that for advanced charting, do you know why I dropped that idea :confused:

just because 2 times (it was enough for me) I've installed that into my machine that software was installed not to as per specified by me folder, but at C and a lot of it folders spreaded sporadically here and there, well I'm not pro programmer to search for all modules of program installed in order to safe it from "cleaning" and anti-virus programs and also what is more important to me with Ninja I just found and set all I need literally in seconds max minutes since downloading and you know may be I really stupid, but in Ninja I can find how to switch 5 min timeframe to 30 min in Sierra...well:crap: I still can not find it, at least within 30 seconds + for example drawing tools, Ninja has it not quite amongst better, but still you can more or less promptly and comfortable manage it, but with Sierra...:helloooo:

Well, what I want to say I kept Sierra in mind for charting and honestly tried it, but even having IQ above 1.0 not succeeded + having 2 live datafeeds available amongst supported by Sierra I nevertheless had 8 time bad efforts to establish it however acted as per Sierra manuals.

My conclusions (only mine) if I want to play Lego I will choose Sierra, if I want to have stable and reliable charting software I will not choose it even for historical data (the main...programs shall serve you, not you them)

    • 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/
