Forex DOM is - at least - highly questionable.

(IB supplies it also).

 

If you want to go for more valid DOM data look into CME currency futures (6E, 6B, 6A ...) for which DOM is supplied also with reasonable brokers (IB and others).

Hi, Mb trading can be used with Ninja trader. PFG Best can be also, but I do not recommend PFG for technical reasons. Also to run Ninja trader well you have to get the right combo of .net 2.0 framework, plus the upgrade patch. Higher versions of .net can disrupt it. Also don't forget any API file you may need for the brokers selected. Also you may need backfill, and MB doesn't supply this. If you open a basic PFG account, and get great free feeds and backfill, plus futures feeds free. I think it is like $500 to open, but then you can withdraw some.

Ninja is a tricky platform, it does have a reasonable repair option on the add/ remove program area. Paper trade with the DOM for awhile, It does freeze and crash sometimes. Also there is a fee for live trading. It does have amazing preset trailing stops and order presets. You have to work out your key code to offer access to the correct broker option selections, they change upon request from NT.

Of course there is trade station but, well I will not go back to them again.

Anyhow good luck with freeze free trading.

What are the technical reasons that you wouldn't recommend PFG?

It works well on the demo, but when we went live we had it twice just put in random orders, reverse positions, unable to exit, and just about sunk an account two times using it. They admit that their own advanced software is a bit shaky, I think the interface with the DOM has issues, this was about 6 months ago.

PFG customer service is not as good as MB for sorting it out, and NT said it had nothing to do with them. MB has been very solid, PFG left us hanging and guessing far too many times for many things.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
