Brief review of the most essential *features for my futures trading
(*features which are not common to all trading platforms)
Chosing the right trading platform requires that you consider which elements are “mission critical” to your trading workflow. The core functionality is present in almost all trading platforms. Which means the choice of platforms boils down to a handful of features. Once you have that list of features, the platform which is the best fit for you will rise to the top.

Pete’s Favorite NinjaTrader Features:
In this video I describe how I came to a point of recognizing that TradeStation was no longer serving my needs. Even Thinkorswim was lacking some key features I found absolutely essential. I listed these features in a spreadsheet and use that in the video to show how I was able to narrow down my selection to NinjaTrader. I’m so glad I switched.
