I cringe whenever I see NinjaTrader described as a platform for professionals.

RTS or ORC is within reach for a decent individual trader.

I am quite satisfied with MC, overall it has proven quite reliable and I can quickly test different trading ideas.

Moved to MC from NT.

RTS and ORC websites seem full of sales-jargon and not so much hard features.

Most put so much effort in finding the most professional platform while they lack a robust strategy to trade.

The problem of most traders, I say 99.99%, is that they lack a strategy. Some they do not even know that. They think the solution is a fancy platform.

Yes... and no.

Even a simple trading approach that works...
Is worth 1000 sexy retail trading platforms.

On the other hand...
It's all about execution, execution, execution...
And that usually means CUSTOM infrastructure in 2012.

Most platforms discussed here are "retail"...
Not "enterprise" = something a bank might build on...
Here's some of the enterprise platforms...
Though the various Reuters platforms are #1.

You should consider becoming a stand-up comedian.

Ignoring the more advanced features and excellent infrastructure: MC, AFAIK, doesn't even have basic spreading capabilities?

I'm done with this thread.

I know, I know...I had expected them to deliver a blockbuster new release in 7.0, but perhaps it's a "dud" ? It took them forever to get it out the door.

I once saw a comparison of Easy Language vs. C# and the Ninja platform. It took almost 5 times the amount of code to do in Ninja that Tradestation's/MC Easy Language could do.
