NinjaTrader Platform
What do you care about as a futures trader when you select a futures trading platform? Is it the interface design, the ease of use, or the ability to execute at low latency (in geek talk that means fast)? What if you can get it all?
Don’t think of NinjaTrader only as a futures trading platform but also as a highly developed "thinking" software that grows with you as a trader.
What do we mean? Typically, you open a platform and shortly after you feel overwhelmed trying to figure out what each button does. Suppose that you could just "go easy" and use ONLY the functions you need? NinjaTrader starts out as a "plain vanilla" platform and it evolves to be…well, pretty much just about whatever you would want a platform to be.
Imagine a platform that applications may be added under your control as you grow as a trader.You may start with a chart, a quote board and execution then somewhere down the road you may decide to add stops and targets, and later you may decide to make an automated trading strategy (and you don’t need to be a programmer for that). It’s all possible with NinjaTrader.
Why? Because it was developed by people who understand traders: how they think, how they evolve and above all, why they switch platforms periodically as they change methodologies.
NinjaTrader’s goal is to be your LAST platform. NinjaTrader listens to its growing community of traders, and after 8 years it has evolved to be a platform chosen by many as their sole platform.
As part of NinjaTrader’s ongoing efforts to improve, new features are being added slowly to make the platform more stable, feature rich and consuming less of your computer resources.

Automate Your Trades
As traders advance in their trading career many would like to automate their own methodology.
Some of the reasons why traders may choose to automate their trades vary from developing non-emotional rules to the lack of time to follow the markets. You can automate your trades via the native based NinjaScript® or an external application such as TradeStation®, Esignal® or any other that application that is capable to connect to NinjaTrader!
Develop Your Own Automation
Looking for the highest possible performance language? Construct automated trading strategies using our C# based NinjaScript® (you can develop a simple point and click construction for non-programmers)
Analyze Your Automated Strategies
You need to test the performance both historically and in real time. That is why NinjaTrader provides high performance back testing, walk forward, genetic optimization and a Monte Carlo Analysis real time simulation testing.

Speed of Execution
Do Milliseconds Count?
YES!
Can a Good method turn into a bad an unsuccessful methodology because your execution is slow?
YES!
Why Does Speed of Execution Matter? All of your LIMIT orders are in a cue and the faster you are in the more likely you will get filled. A one second interval in trading can seem an eternity, so most time frames for order entry are discussed in Milliseconds (1/1000) of a second. Professional traders "fight" algorithmic traders who place trades via super high paced dedicated servers co-located on the CME exchange. What’s your edge?
Introducing Rithmic! Whether you are part of a prop shop or are a professional trader, Rithmic’s trade execution software delivers to you the low latency and high throughput performance formerly seen only by the very large trading houses and boutique hedge funds - Tick-to-Trade in less than 250µs.
250µs? This is a quarter of a Millisecond. Fast Enough?
Now combine the charting, analytics, and the automation of NinjaTrader with the data feed of Rithmic, and what do you get?
Probably one of the better-oriented solutions for the beginner or the advanced futures trader.
