    Meta trader is just a wasting time. Learn Ninja and C#

    Meta trader has its own language. You can learn mql4 or mql5. Most forex brokers use mt4 with mql4 robots. I learned mql5 to trade futures. It is an easy language to learn and build robots as long as you execute a few orders a day and don't rely on low latency executions.

    Is Ninja trader free to program and run robots?

    MT also not for free. The price included into commission.

    C# can be used in most of all platform. And out of box. C# is a top 3 popular language.huge and tons samples and docs. Mql only in meta trader. Just wasting a time.

    NinjaTrader is free for charting, automated strategy development and trade simulation. To trade with a funded brokerage account you muse purchase a license. One exception is that NinjaTrader Brokerage does offer a free version with a funded account.

    MT is free at least for me. You pay commission or spreads at any platform.

    On forex you have double commission. One for MT one for spread.

    Btw MT is only forex. MT 5 is a fail product. So mql can show only currency market. C# all the markets.
     
  10. Thanks !
