Rolfe & Nolan Trading Platforms
Thanks to its support for both open outcry and electronic markets, the RAN platform is our most popular futures trading platform. It is available as a web-based application (RANweb) or a Windows application (RANorder).
CQG Trading Platforms
There are three CQG-based platforms available. First, there is Efutures Pro, offering speed and reliability in a quote, trade entry, and order management platform. Next is the CQG Web Trader which provides trade entry and order management in a convenient web-based application. Last is the CQG Integrated Client which provides a complete trading solution with charts, quotes, news, and order management.
Strategy Runner Trading Platforms
Strategy Runner offers a professional trading platform with one-click trading from charts, Level II screen, automated exits, trailing stops, advanced charts and studies, and more. Strategy Runner has server-based execution which cuts latency and improves reliability. This also opens up opportunity for signal automation and distribution without compromising code (vs. in client-side applications).
NinjaTrader Trading Platforms
NinjaTrader is an industry leading trading platform that can provide you with the edge you need to be an effective trader. NinjaTrader is a FREE application for advanced charting, market analytics, system development and trade simulation. User friendly and flexible purchase options if and when you want to trade live.
Barchart Real-Time Quote Platforms
If you need advanced charting and quote features, and the flexibility of access to your platform via the Internet, then Webstation is a perfect solution. With access to the same exchanges and tools similar to the Barchart Professional desktop application, Webstation provides a high-performance market data product at a very affordable price.
Please note that Webstation is a market data platform providing real-time quotes, charts, and technical analysis, and is intended to be used side by side with your existing trading platform.
