    I’m not a liar. I’m a small time agricultural hedger and occasional speculator (a farmer). Everything I’ve said is true.

    I've TOLD you. Use Ninja. Are you daft, old farmer Joe? It is totally free, and is a real trading platform/datafeed!

    As I understand it, Ninja is only free if I open a margin account with them. I’ve already got one more margin account than I need so I’m not doing that. I also tried a demo of it a while back and didn’t like it.

    I’m just looking for suggestions that I haven’t heard of yet.

    I've traded since the 90s to know that they used to do that back then, but (WOW!) they still share tips and call you back about your trade? Who's your broker?

    "end-of-day platform that will track my trades and plot them on the chart."
    Have you found any that are acceptable or at least close?

    Small farm town broker. I pay $75 per round turn for the service. There are other brokers in similar areas that charge up to $150 per turn. These brokers aren’t the ideal for day traders though. Brokers like this are getting rare but there’s still a use for them.

    I’m using Gecko software Track N Trade right now. It’s really close to what I want, but I like to scour the market every few years to see if something better has emerged.

    I'd be interested your take on how the HG copper futures behave when compared to the yield you get from the ag futures.
