Simulator with Data Needed

[233jim 10]

I am considering getting Rapid SP as a simulator for day trading Futures and stocks. Does anyone have any other choices that come with historical 5 minute or lower data?

 

Thanks,

I am looking for one with TF data and the ability to open a position on stop orders. I know Sierra charts does meets this need but it looks like I would have to buy something else to get data beyond one years worth of data. Looking for most cost effective approach.

 

Thanks

Jim - take a look at Open ECry's platform. The demo version is great and very generous with live data. It may not have all the back data you require, but you can plug eSignal into it if need be.

I used Ninja Trader Zen fire from postrock global. the zen fire is one of the fastest data speed in the industry. You should contact postrock to get your free live data demo

Thanks guys,

 

I will look into both of those.

 

I am looking for something that I can work on multiple markets (to find one to settle on) and can use over the next year as I work on myself before risking anymore real money. So a 14 day demo account somewhere is not that helpful. Forex Tester 2 is one that looks real good, but I think I would be leaning to Futures instead of Forex if I get into currency trading, so I might have to settle on Rapid SP.
