Rookie Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 849 Location: Montana	#1 Posted: 5/23/2012 4:06:56 PM I started using Ninja Trader to trade futures a year or so ago in order to save some cash. The lag time during active markets is pissing me off, so I am currently shopping for a better alternative. Main things I need: Fast data, no lag time on the charting software......lag time in processing the data and building the charts is fucked....cannot have it, and Ninja has too much of this problem. What do you guys use??? I am seriously looking towards Tradestation. Anyone here on Tradestation??

I use Think or Swim by TD Ameritrade for everything. Good one stop shop. Are the packages you are looking at signaling software? I found that heat maps are pretty similar.
