  1. I have Ninja Trader and am very pleased with the service, however I wonder if I write my strategies with the Ninja Trader code and trade my strategies using the strategies I just wrote in ninja trader will they be able to see my code????

    Your strategy code resides on your hard drive. Why do you think they'll be able to see it? Are you suggesting they've incorporated some spyware in NinjaTrader?

    Yes -- all your executions are simutaneously sent to the Ninja Trader servers -- they then run algorithms on the execution data to determine the winning traders from the losing.

    Aftewards -- they mirror/piggy back the winning traders.

    Yes, their software phones home at startup, to check the license. If a rogue programmer, or the proram designer for that matter, wants your intellectual property they can get it at that time..
