In the process of evaluating trading platforms for trading Forex and possibly equities in the near future.
Right now I’m evaluating NinjaTrader 6.5 and MetaTrader 5.
What I’m looking for:
- Good drawing tools
- Multi-monitor support
- Easy order entry
- Market overview window
- Good charting
- Fast
- User friendly
- DOM
- Forex and Equity support
What I don’t like about NT (so far):
- Drawing tools are not that good
- Difficult to select, delete and straighten lines/other tools
- Would like an overall Forex market view similar to MT
- Order entry is a bit strange
- Moving Average lines colors are not shown on the label.
- Can’t add data window directly to charts (top left corner)
- Slow to start up and load modules.
What I don’t like about MT5:
- Multi-monitor support is missing? Really don’t want to stretch the program window.
- DOM doesn’t work
- Can’t add data window directly to charts
- Order enter is better than NT but looking for something better
- Don’t know if it supports equities?
Going to evaluate MultiCharts next.
What platform is everyone using?
Any recommendations? Preferably something I can evaluate before buying.
Thanks
