Not Pete, (and I don't work for Jigsaw), The $50 monthly fee is optional. If sim trading, or doing a funding company test, such as a TST Combine, you don't need it. It is only required if you want to place "real money" trades through the Jigsaw DOM. If you opened an account with Tradovate you could sim trade, or use replay, but to place a live real money trade where hopefully you make money, requires the Jigsaw licence at $50/month (or$500/year).
.

How does JigSaw work with SharkIndicators Blackbird? if I use blackbird to manage my trade when I am in it, do I need to place the order on a Ninja Chart or can it still be done on the Jigsaw DOM?

Sorry, I have never used Shark Indicators so I have no idea.

You do not win as a trader, you just get to play again the next day. If that game doesn’t appeal to you then you should not trade. Gary Norden

Questions about JugSaw:

My Current Trading setup is as follows:
Software Platform: NinjarTrader8
AddOns: BlackBird and BloodHound (SharkIndicators)
DataFeed: NinjaContinuum
Broker: NinjaTrader / PhillipCapatil

Datafeed Requirements
According to the JigSaw website, the following datafeeds are supported:

Quoting 
CQG, Rithmic, GAIN Futures (OEC), Tradovate, Interactive Brokers and IQFeed
Note that the GAIN Feed is also known by the following names: Alpha Trader, Apex Trader, ATC Trader, CTG Pro, DT Pro, G-Force Trader, Global Zen Trader, High Ground Trader, Index Trade Launcher, S5 Trader & Zaner 360.

1) Since I am using NinjaContinuum, do I need to get a different data feed? It appears so.
2) Can I use the same datafeed account for NinjaTrader and Jigsaw or will I need two data feed accounts (one for each)?
3) Since the JigSaw website says JigSaw is a "plugin" to NinjaTrader 8, can JigSaw receive market data from NinjaTrader's active data feed? So would NinjaContinuum work?
4) If I execute an order through jigsaw, is it sent through NinjaTrader? How would my order be routed to my broker?
5) I seen on Jaigsaw's website ( Click Here) a drop down with the words PSJigSaw2 in the videos. Is that a NinjaTrader ATM, or does JigSaw have an ATM-like feature that you can create for trade management?
6) I am assuming that JigSaw will execute trades through NinjaTrader. If this assumption is correct, I could use MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat to test for that in an indicator that can be used to send a signal to BloundHound and then to BlackBird for trade management
7)I am looking to purchase the $1700+ package that includes training. How long will I have access to the traing videos? Will access to these videos ever expire?
8) JigSaw charges an extra $50.00/month ($500) yer to execute trades through JigSaw. On my initial purchase of JigSaw, is that included? Or will I need to pay $1700 for JigSaw plus $500 for order execution for a total of $2200.00 on my initial purchase?
9) If the assumption in number 6 is incorrect and not doable, I will need to execute most of my trades with BlackBird. When I do so, NinjaTrader sees them because the chart shows were the trades are entered and exited. Since JigSaw is a plugin to NinjaTrader, would JigSaw see these executions on NinjaTrader and send them to TradeAnalytics? Or is the only way to use TradeAnalytics is by executing trades in JigSaw?

I want to do the "cut and reverse drill", but Jigsaw's trading window doesn't have a reverse button, so, did I misunderstand how the drill is done or ...?

Edit:

There is also a button with the "A" label that turns cyan if you click it, that is not mentioned on the documentation, what does it do? Buttons should have a tooltip text if you hover over them for a few seconds (basic UX stuff if you ask me)

Quite easy to do ..

Enter the market long with 1. Change the number to trade to 2. Then hit a market order short when you want to reverse. Now you’re short 1. Make sure you still have 2 as your trade quantity. Then hit market buy when you want to reverse to long. Now you’re long 1.

Thanks, got the same recommendation from Jigsaws trading chat.

A Reverse button built-in wouldn't hurt tho.

There's a blog post too: https://blog.jigsawtrading.com/cut-reverse-drill-crude-video
I haven't worked out what the "A" button is for either.

Hi Pete'

Any project with Tradestation? A bridge to use their data feed and brokerage would be amazing!
Best!
