What’s going on, guys? So, I get asked all the time, what is the best futures trading platform? Uh, before I get into that, we stream live every day, 10:30 noon, 2:00 p.m. to 4:30. If you’re trading prop firms and you want to support the stream, use coupon code trader. Also, there’s a link to our free Discord in the description of this video. Um so there’s quite a bit different future platforms that people ask about. One is uh if you have a

Personal account. So I have a personal account with Ninja Trader. I have the Ninja Trader software which I think is great. Um I set up my uh copy trader in there. Uh but what I do for whatever reason I hit the trading platform. I log into Ninja Trader down here and I trade my personal account off of Trading View. Now, when I’m trading prop firms, I mostly I make my decisions mostly on uh Trading View, but then I’ll hit the button

In Trade of So, all my prop firms are mostly on Trade of Except for my funded futures. I use volumetrica. I only use volumetrica because that’s what I first started with and that’s how the accounts get um done. And same and bullnox I use project x as you can see there. Top step I use project x. Um I probably use trade ofate the most though for all types of futures trading except for my personal. What’s crazy is I also have a

Quant tower account. I like quant tower. Uh once again, all these all these platforms are great. Trade of eight, quant tower, ninja trader, but at the end of the day, all my decisions are based off of Trading View. I have all my scripts that I want on Trading View. I have multiple tabs on Trading View to give me everything I want. So, I use Trading View for everything. And then once I know the setup and I have the setup, I’m basically

Just using the other platforms to hit the button for a buy, sell, stoploss, and so on. But all my decisions are actually made on Trading View. I think that’s the most important platform for futures, stocks, options, everything I look at, I make my decision there, and I’m basically just hitting the button on uh on the other platforms. So, that’s pretty much my take on what futures platform is the best. Um, like I said, you got to have Trading View. You make

Your decision. And then I’m just hitting buy or sell on whatever platform I have. For a copy trader, I have Ninja Trader to copy trade. You can copy trade across multiple prop firms with Ninja Trader. Um, so that’s why I use that. But that’s pretty much my thoughts. decisions are made on trading view and then execution is made on one of these other platforms like uh somebody’s going to ask well why don’t you why don’t you execute on trading view I

Always feel like there’s slippage so that’s why I kind of use uh trade ofate or quant tower to place my uh place my orders and that’s pretty much it if you have a best futures trading platform comment below and uh I’ll take a peek at it or let me know Bye.
