So you are incapable or unable to trade without those "features"?

OCO limit orders are needed for Al Brooks' price action futures trading

Free would be with the direct edition, which has limited functionality: "Direct Edition License allows you to trade live without purchasing a Live Edition License. This functionality to trade live without purchase means that certain features, such as Chart Trader, ATM strategies, NinjaScript, etc are not included as part of the license."

OCO orders are also not allowed

Has something changed recently? If you go to NinjaTrader stock, futures and forex charting software and online trading platform. Download registration. and fill out the form you will get a free copy of the same version of NT that I have a life time license for. You will be emailed a sim license key and be able to install and use it for as long as you want. Only thing is you will need a datafeed which comes from a broker. If your broker supports NT then use their datafeed. Just to be clear, this version has all the features you mention.

Sorry man, that is a lame answer.

No, I could lose a huge pile of gelt if my internet or computer crashed and I didn't have OCO orders.

KosherTrader,

If my memory serves me right - there was/is a platform called "MultiCharts" - I think it was developed in Russia and you can have some sort of an "open source" solution that you can customize and call it your product.

Hope this helps.

In most of the cases with NT7 your OCO orders are stored locally (on your PC) and not on server side, so you may suffer from this in case of disconnection etc.. if you are using both SL and TP simultaneously.

You will quickly find a list of about 20 or more "Open Source Trading Platforms" on google.
