Do you expect to wake up one day and be a professional trader? Or do you have to practice at it? For most people, practice is necessary. And you have to practice correctly. Practicing correctly involves replicating a real-money trading environment. And what professional trading software or platform easily allows for such an experience? NinjaTrader 8.

With NinjaTrader 8, you can plug in a real-time data feed for futures markets. This means that your charts will be powered by real-time streaming quotes. Using the chart itself or another window called a SuperDOM, you can place trades. All of these trades are recorded in the Sim101 account. This is not an external account with a broker, like a real-money account would be. Rather, the Sim101 is like a database of your trades that is saved on your computer. After practicing, you can generate a performance report to measure your success for a given time period. Such a tool is invaluable, because ultimately, don’t you want to know if what you’re doing is successful?
