Platforms

There are a ton of good platforms out there for trading futures, but the one I have landed on is NinjaTrader, I have also used Think or Swim from TD Ameritrade but NinjaTrader has good fees and is built for using algorithms.

I can say that NinjaTrader has its strengths and weaknesses, and other platforms may be better in the end, but Ninjatrader is where I landed and have been using for the past three years. In time it may make sense to look at other options, but this where I have landed for the time being. Again keeping in mind I still consider myself a new trader, tons of room for growth.
