I am trying to understand what I need on NinjaTrader to trade the Micros. As I understand it… I need to buy the platform, then buy data, plus commissions. Your recommendations on what data level to use NT? Or where to go to get some input on this?
Hi Douglas, Micros are available from most Futures brokers so you don’t necessarily need Ninja. If you do want to use that platform, you can download it for free here: https://ninjatrader.com/GetStarted
If you then chose to use the NinjaTrader brokerage, you would fund the account and buy a NinjaTrader license. I don’t use any fancy data package – just what is regularly offered.
yes, I did fund an account and used the “free” version of the platform. Purchased a monthly data package from them…but then found out the SuperDom and the trading on the chart is not available except if you buy the lifetime package or lease the program. Unless I am missing something, that is my understanding.

Got it. It looks like you’re right w/ ATM and Chart Trading being a part of the Trader+ package.
