Hello All,

I haven't been here in a long time so please forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong place.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a platform/broker which allows for custom C++ programming similar to how Ninjatrader works with C#. It definitely has to work with futures but I'd love the option to trade other securities as well. Also, please only recommend ones with paper trading that don't require you to fund an account (like IB seems to do).

Thanks,
Dave

A second vote for Sierra Chart for C++

You can write C++ DLL's and call from EasyLanguage with MultiCharts as well, but SC is native.
