[@randuxy]

I'm in the same boat. I have been with Tradovate for years and now leaving because of the Ninja Trader acquisition effects. Rock on Man I started researching Edge Clear as well!

What exchange are you using now man? I have previously asked this question

[@Arreese2233]

Thanks Matt! Looking to start a topstep account with Quantower. One question is, do i need to set-up a quantower account first or do i just sign up to to TopStep and choose Quantower and go from there? What does this process look like? Any help will be appreciated.

[@johnlundgren1967]

NT ran flawlessly during these Tradovate episodes because NT runs on my machine. I have always tried to stay away from web based or cloud based trading platforms as sooner or later it will let you down. 1. There are security and privacy issues inherent to cloud based platforms. 2. There will always be some form of latency issue with a cloud based platform. 3. Probably the biggest reason to stay away from cloud based trading platforms is that when a big news event occurs, the servers just cannot handle the increase in internet traffic for data as well as the increase in client requests. Sooner or later cloud based platforms will bite you.

[@joel_fpv]

I agree, I use NinjaTrader8 and I love it. It's fantastic. The 3rd party add ons and the eco system are insane. I also use my ninja trader live account through tradovate if I need to use Trading View.

[@RotterStudios]

I see massive latency with the Tradovate client and none on the web version.

[@richfree5365]

Your computer is less reliable. If your computer crash in the middle of a trade your screwed. You can't hop on your phone and finish the trade. NT sucks period.

New to Futures...and had issues even setting up, was going to try then Tradovate that is merging...eeeeh THANK YOU for the advice. Please do a futures beginning tutorial that includes complete set up of YOUR best choice for new Future traders.

[@Siegefya]

I'm definitely moving in that direction as well. Tradovate keeps having weird glitches, my DOM keeps freezing,... this has happened in the middle of a trade several times...I have to go to a different instrument then go back, it'll just freeze, let alone it actually going down for no reason at all really several times in the past couple weeks whereas none of my other brokerages have had outages like that (TD Ameritrade TOS, and IBKR). My first futures broker... And it's like this. I'm pulling money off and gonna go somewhere else as well. Idk where else, but probably not ninja. Not gonna be trading futures in the brokerage I trade options on because it's too expensive, margin requirements are too high for me. I think Ninja trader is screwing things up pretty badly. It sucks. Part of me feels like maybe holding on a bit longer as they might get better, but tbh idk.

[@TradesbyMatt]

Plenty of other good options out there.

[@ultraiam]

NT is actually good… but to each their own

[@Siegefya]

@@ultraiam I'm considering it man, nothing set in stone. Tradovate was fine today, my DOM didn't even lock up but I only traded for like 45 min, 2 trades and was done. I'm gonna stick around a little longer. I'm actually testing out lightspeed for options trading right now so I kindof have my hands full with new brokerage stuff. I'll give tradovate another week, this kind of stuff can't happen that often, maybe once or twice a year ok i get it, multiple times in a month is unsat. they are discount broker but come on we pay for data, our data we pay for going down that often isn't cool regardless of it being discount.

What I like most about Tradovate is entering an order on the chart is so easy, just two left clicks of the mouse. It is super easy on the mobile app too. I haven't seen other platforms with such simple order entry on the chart. Have you?

Almost all platforms have some form of chart trading that is a point and click solution. Quantower and Sierra both have this.

i shit you not, the only reason i was gonna go for Tradovate was that you were using it. Now, i completely change my mind, but there is one thing i don't understand. I thought you just set up the platform and fund it with your money and trade? Do i have to go through a separate brokerage and then sign up with a separate trading platform? Or i could just set up a trading platform of my choosing and just fund it and start trading? Sorry im new to futures trading, i've been doing options for 2 years, now i'm transitioning to futures.

Schwab x TD Ameritrade has been pretty smooth. But I don't trade futures on TOS, but so far it's been ok, no new problems yet and they've been at this merger for a while. Tradovate and Ninja are small, and they are having issues + implementing things that are unbecoming of a discount futures broker. The 50 a month for some order flow stuff is pretty wack imo...
