Programming a custom indicator which finds stocks that completed bullish candlestick patterns on last day’s close helps me sort stocks in the Ninja Trader market analyzer, in case I am looking to buy stocks. The indicator compares highs and lows of previous candlesticks with the last candlestick.

As I have cancelled my Esignal subscription due to high cost, I gave NinjaTrader another go as far as US stock trading concerns. Given the fact there isn’t any free real time data vendor, Kinetick offers free End of Day data for position and longer-term trading than day trading.

Bfexplorer Pro and BetAngel Pro are well known Betfair trading platforms. These pieces of Betfair trading software offer enough features for the most experienced Betfair trader, such as a trading ladder, quick refresh times and one-click betting. I have been a BetAngel Pro user for many years and decided to make a video of both trading platforms showing the same horse race betting odds along with the [...]

Most of traders at Interactive Brokers use third party charting software for their trading graphs. I thought that Interactive Brokers’ platform was good enough to trade but apparently traders find it easier to trade using bar or line graphs of NinjaTrader, AmiBroker or Sierra Chart. These are 3 of the most popular pieces of charting software to accompany an Interactive Brokers account. Tradestation [...]
