Uh, also there’s a link to exclusive prop firm deals in the description of this video as well. All right, so let’s just jump into this. Um, I even use test accounts. How’s that sound? I’m always testing things and whatnot. And I found the best free futures trading platform is uh right here. So it is on

Ninja Trader. Uh you can see all the ones that I’ve used. These are all test accounts. Basically all you do is sync, you know, you configure one uh one connection. So, right now, this is Apex. I have a bunch of different firms that obviously I link to this. This is where I copy trade. Uh, if you’re interested in copy trading, uh, I use Replicanto. Um, be sure to ask me. I’ll show you how I set it up and everything. Um, but

Yeah, so it’s super easy. Say, all you do is, uh, rightclick, add simulation account. You call it whatever you want to call it. So, say you’re going to be trading, you know, I typically try to call it what I’m going to be doing. So, you know, if I’m going to do like NQ and say I’m going to play, I don’t know, 200 bounces, right? 200. So, now I’m only playing 200 moving average bounces in here. And then basically, you need to

Disconnect and reconnect. And then you can see it right here how it’s live. And you just trade it like a normal account. Um, yeah, super simple. You have an infinite amount of these. And this is a way that you can test strategies, you can learn things. Um, you can do a lot of different things here. So, if you’re looking for a free futures platform to uh test out, Ninja Trader allows it. If you need help setting this up, come on the

Live stream, come on my Discord and ask. I could show you how to set up all of Ninja Trader, copy trade with Ninja Trader, a bunch of other things. Um, and that’s pretty much it. All right. I hope you guys are doing good and I’ll see you on the live stream this
