Hi,

I have been looking at day trading futures after trading stocks on a much longer time horizon.

With respect to Intra day trading futures, is there any "preferred" charting software at the moment?

To me it seems just like a matter of preference between NT and Multicharts?

I have read about issues with NT being unreliable but I have not experienced any of this with simulated trading.


Appreciate the advise,

There are many posts stating that NinjaTrader is unreliable but if you read further, you will notice that the majority of the time, issues are related to poorly coded custom scripts. We have 30,000+ active users and platform stability is paramount to our past and future success.

You can all read it in this thread.



There is no perfect trading platform available, all of them have a number of minor bugs. From those that I have tested, NinjaTrader and MultiCharts are both a good choice. For further information also see here:
