I have enough dealing with Ninja Trader and I'm moving to ATAS .
A lot of stuff is for free and in NT8 you need to pay for it .Of course I will still have NT8 -I bought a lot of software -but the way you can make decisions from charts is much quicker on ATAS (for example look quickly into footprint ) .
I tested free version and I recommend it for everyone ( for free lifetime! ) with footprint and 15 min delated data (is NT8 giving you that ?) .
I'm using renko charts -with top down approach -NT8 is way behind MT4 with that - a lot of software demand tick replay and renko stops working at that software (NT8).
And finally I'm following a lot of professional traders -Axia Futures (in my opinion the best prop in the world ) have done couple of webinars together with ATAS .
Maybe we will create separate topic about ATAS at that forum .
And finally I have nothing to do with ATAS ,no affiliate etc . -just wrote a couple of words from my heart - maybe help someone .
When I go through the settings I will show you what I'm using .
