I highly recommend you only use the simulator or demo provided by your broker to help prevent some trading problems with real money that will occur via using a simulator elsewhere and then using a completely different trade execution software for real money trading.

what market are you trading? I take it futures? Some brokers have their own free charting platform. Use it. If they give you free API access, then you may be able to use NT.

 

forex usually has metatrader 4 with most of the retail brokers, so free demo accounts.

 

wrbtrader has a point, in that using the broker you plan to actually go live with is the best option, if available. If not, then pick 2nd choice, 3rd choice, etc from a list of brokers you plan on going with.

Try out StrategYard - You can create and experiment with multiple trading strategies, automate your trades and even win real cash prize if your trading strategy works out. However, as with any simulator, understand that there are some differences between simulator and real market.
