Hi Matt,

In case you haven't tried a demo of FXCM's NinjaTrader offering, I wanted to make sure you're aware they are free to use.

Each trading platform has its own unique strengths. That's why FXCM offers both NinjaTrader and MT4, in addition to other platforms like Trading Station, Mirror Trader and ZuluTrade.

Hi Tim,

Such pattern recognition functionality is available for the platform through third-party add-ons. An internet search on the phrase "ninjatrader pattern recognition" will lead you to these providers.

I'm getting errors while forward testing an intraday strategy on NT7 with the fxcm demo feed. The strategy back tests fine, is there any reason anyone can think of why this would happen, could it be just on demo?

Hi CanOz,

If you reference the error message you received on the NinjaTrader support forum, they might be able to troubleshoot the problem for you.

Hi Hopeing,

I am also using strategies in Ninjatrader 7 with my FXCM account and I live in Sydney, Australia.
I have experienced errors such as "unable to send order" inside Ninjatrader, and after contacting both Ninjatrader and FXCM, it seems there might be some kind of disconnection between my computer/Ninjatrader and the FXCM server in NY, and FXCM never received any of the failing orders through their API.
I seem to get around 340ms latency between my computer location in Sydney, and the FXCM server in New York.
Have you perhaps experienced anything similar?

Thanks,
Warcious

I am big fan of MT4. But now planning to have a look into NinjaTrader as I heard about it many times now.
