Overwhelmed! Which platform do I choose? Sierra? Ninja? MT5?

Like others who have replied, I use Ninja but don’t like it. I use it because indicators I like are optimized for it.. I have used Sierra; it has a longer learning curve, but is more stable. Ninja freezes often, especially when the market is moving quickly - just last week one chart froze two days in a row while my other charts were fine. But the only way to correct the frozen chart was to reboot all of Ninja. So annoying. As for trading platforms, Infinity Futures is a futures-only platform that is very stable, fast, light, has has very competitive commissions. Slippage is rare, especially compared to Ninja, and you can get Sierra Charts through them for a reasonable cost.

Good luck with you search.

Traders, I'm sooooo overwhelmed with the variety of Charting and Trading platforms out there. Which do I choose? I'm evaluating between Sierra Charts, Ninja Trader 8, Metatrader 5. The primary reason I'm choosing these is because there a couple providers of indicators (MBox and some other) support some but not all. Ninja and Meta are the ones that are both supported. I hear amazing things about Sierra, it's stable and customizable but terrible looking UI and hard to use. I hear Ninja is super popular, but slow and unstable.

I'm thinking of signing with AMP Futures which seems to have deals with many platform providers (except Ninja).

I'm overwhelmed. Appreciate guidance. Thanks in advance!

I've being trading Options using ThinkorSwim. It's a great platform but their commissions for futures are expensive. I'm also new to Futures trading.

They're all good platforms for different reasons. Whatever suits your needs in regards to broker and platform. If you go with AMP than you've already eliminated one platform and Meta supports the indicators you're looking to use...
