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.

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
