Free version - is chart trader feature included?

[Kennard]

I am about to open an account with one futures broker. As a platform I will use free version of Ninja Trader.

Will I be able to use chart trader feature? Mainly "sell stop" & "buy stop" orders.

Also, will I be able put basic indicators like CCI, MACD etc on my chart?


Thanks.

Hello Kennard,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum.

All of the features you are asking about are available in the NinjaTrader Direct version.

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Does "direct" version means "free" version?

I am asking this because on my broker's web site I found this information:

"There are two versions of NinjaTrader available to clients, a Free version and an Advanced version. "

Hi Kennard,

Thank you for your reply.

There are actually three versions of NinjaTrader.
1.) The Free (demo) version that allows for simulated trading only.
2.) The Direct version that is provided by brokers and allows for live trading but has some features disabled.
3.) The Live version that allows for live trading and use of all of the features of NinjaTrader.

Hi Kyle,

Thanks.
Yes, I am using demo right now.
In October I will switch to live version.
However, as I dont need "full" version with all features I need only sell&buy stop orders (I would like to place an order directly from chart) and CCI indicator.

My broker will provide me with version where I will not be required to pay for NT so I assume its Direct version.

Am I right?

Hello Kennard,

Correct, that will be the Direct version of NinjaTrader.
