I should have been more specific: We can trade it via any machine however the execution happens with our clearing. We will generate the EXACT same signals and executed in real time. That way there will be no minimum to trade. If you have a successful strategy and you want to offer it to other clients for a fee, we can always help with that. But, it's a personal choice. We have a process we go through: We will run the system for a period of time and see if all signals match and then we can route the signals to your funded account with us. You can deliver your code protected, and we have no issue signing an NDA to protect you. Matt There is a substantial risk of loss in futures trading.

We have close to 30 videos and we suggest you take your time in learning the ninjatrader platform. We hope this help. Matt There is a substantial risk of loss in futures trading.

Thank you for the kind words on this forum about Optimus Trading Group. Our main solution most trading platforms is Rithmic because of it's low latency and execution. The Rithmic servers are based in Chicago so it's most suitable for the CME/CBOT products. We do have clientele outside the US that does not require any hosted solutions because they satisfied with the execution. However, if you require a hosted solution we have 3rd party solutions, and if you need to host that right on top of Rithmic equipment, that is possible as well. Here are a few links that would give you an insight into the Rithmic solution: Rithmic We also have a site dedicated to the NinjaTrader+Rithmic capability and you can read about it here: NinjaTrader Rithmic Capability We are here to answer any questions you might have and we respect your choice of brokers.

Go to NinjaTrader Demo Just fill out the demo request and you will get instructions in your email how to get the 30 day demo of real time data. (There is a risk of loss in futures trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results)

If I could recommend the Rithmic for Ninja for true unfiltered and low latency solution. Also, consider getting R|Trader for free with Ninja and Rithmic where you could fills on both platforms. If you use OCO orders, R|trader (free with NinjaTrader) would keep your orders on their servers not on your computer. Many traders could find this solution viable for risk management of positions and stability. http://www.optimusfutures.com/rithmic.htm

Upon further research it has come to my attention that NinjaTrader along with Rithmic does provide several years of Tick and Minute Data. They were able to provide this info within a 30 second email reply which just shows their commitment to brokers and customers alike in terms of customers service. While many software companies come and go,these guys realize the importance of supporting their current group of customers. Kinetick is also available for those who want a dedicated market data service which scrubs the data, removes bad ticks and other items to insure the best data possible is provided to the user. Kinetick also supports other markets besides futures for data.

Yes, we do. Rithmic is fully integrated into it.
-
You can use Rithmic on: NinjaTrader, Multicharts,R|Trader,SierraChart,TradeNavigator,RT Investor, and Market Delta. As far as historical Rithmic does not provide back fill data more than a month. For Ninja I recommend Kinetick For Multicharts, I recommend DTN/IQ Feed

I would say that NinjaTrader is our most popular choice because they were the ones that we brought on board first, gained familiarity with them and their wonderful tech support has always been helpful. We don't do Forex because we prefer to go through a regulated exchange. Multichart is a solid application with very good capabilities, especially with their new free version and the DOM that has integrated strategies in it. If that is your choice of platform, make sure you learn it inside and out to learn all its capabilities. I am becoming more familiar with them and they seem to be very popular amongst guys who need automation and the capability of reading easy language. I hope I was helpful, and wanted to end on the note that you have to choose what is right for you, and we can always help you make that decision.

I would prefer not to discuss in this thread other brokers, as I am sure as each brokerage has a dedicated group of people working hard to earn their customers trading business. As far as TT, I hear that they are a good data feed. Having said all that, let me speak directly about Rithmic’s solution as a data feed and why we have implemented it. The cost of the infrastructure was reasonable, and so the cost of connectivity is reasonable as well. Rithmic operates and integrates with ease with each of the major platforms, such as NinjaTrader, SierraChart and Multichart (free edition). This is a low latency solution with unfiltered data used by small hedge funds and prop shops. We feel that speed in execution, seeing all the data on the charts, and the stability of data feed are the essentials when a traders executes his/her methodology. If a person uses a number of platforms with Rithmic he can see orders across a number of platforms at the same time. Lastly, anyone who is using Rithmic could be provided with a FREE platform along side any platform called R|Trader. For example, you can use NinjaTrader or MultiCharts for charting while executing on R|Trader. R|Trader keeps it’s contingent orders on its own servers, so if your computer crashes your contingent orders are still held. Most of our customers are using NinjaTrader for charting and some are start to use R|Trader for execution and their risk management. We also use CQG for our web based solutions and MAC based trading. In the final analysis, I guess only those who have used a data feed side by side, will be able to determine whether what is better for them. I hope this helps. Matt

I appreciate the warm welcome. :helloooo: As a company we cater to independent self directed traders who seek to make their own decision, but also rely on sold stable platforms, fast execution and unfiltered data where you can see each tick on your charts. Our choice of platforms for traders is based on objectivity while taking experience and technical familiarity into consideration. if you need some assistance with choosing the right online trading application, please fill out the this form: Online Commodity & Futures Trading, Future Option Commodities our second nature of services is feared towards automated trading of systems where we run systems for customers that they build on their own or we recommend a 3rd party service suitable to one's risk tolerance and capital. Automated Trading Strategies - Systems Trading, Swing Trading Systems and Day Trading Ok, this was my little "promo", but going forward I want to answer general and/or technical by nature.

I am a MAC user too. In order for a platform to work on MAC, it has to be written for mac. There is a process that I believe called "parallel" that could work for some users. Some of those programs include: • Parallels Desktop for Mac • VMware Fusion • Apple Boot Camp However, the strength of NinjaTrader is in its low latency data. For example, Rithmic as a data feed for NinjaTrader provides superior execution and stability. Both are written for Windows and should be operated as such. Running these on "parallels" could potentially slow down your execution and data. I am a BIG NinjaTrader fan, and I run it on Windows because I dont want to make experiments with execution. Maybe as the community of MAC users grow, all platforms could run on both.

This platform should work on MAC for both the down-loadable version and the web version. The name of the platform is QST (quick screen trading)
