I want to practice order placing & need opinions from elite traders as to which platform would be good for a novice. I want to practice futures like ES, NQ, CL, GC, & 6E. I have heard of Ninja DOM & Infinity Futures DOM. Thank You all in Advance.
Open ECRy has a very nice dom to practice on as well. You can do manual orders or use brackets. http://www.openecry.com Live accounts get free data and platform, which is a nice cost savings if it can do what you need.
NinjaTrader is a widely used trading platform for trade simulation. You can use our software for free indefinitely for this purpose. You do require a data feed which can be driven by various supported brokerage accounts or a paid market data service such as Kinetick. If you do not have a supported brokerage account, many of our broker partners provide limited data trials. Here is list of supported data providers - http://www.ninjatrader.com/tour#Connect
