Trading Platform
NinjaTrader, our recommended trading platform
The recommendation is our own opinion. It is not a statement by NinjaTrader.
AutoMaker – Cycle Breakout is built for NinjaTrader®. In our opinion, it's the best choice for traders who want charting, backtesting and automated execution in one platform.
According to NinjaTrader, when you download it you get free access to:
- Simulated trading with real-time futures data
- Advanced charting, including the ability to trade directly from your charts
- A backtesting engine to analyze trading strategies on historical data
- Advanced Trade Management with automatically submitted stop orders, target orders and trailing stops
NinjaTrader describes its platform as award-winning and says it offers thousands of apps and add-ons for customization and is used by over 1.9 million traders. These are NinjaTrader's own statements and we have not verified them.
According to NinjaTrader, new traders can prepare for the live markets with a free trading simulator that uses real-time market data. Simulated trading does not involve financial risk, and its results differ from actual trading.
