There are lots of questions as to where one might start with trading. Well, first things first—we must download the platform that will even allow us to see the actual movement in the market. NinjaTrader is very customizable and reliable. The support is top-notch, and prices are extremely reasonable.
NOTE ABOUT THE DATA DEMO: It does say that it is free, but you will have to pay for the data once your free trial expires. It is an extremely affordable price and will be necessary until you are ready to fund your live account.
Also know that, once your demo is over and until you have your live account, you will be 15 minutes behind the actual current market price. This will NOT disrupt your learning, nor will it affect you once you go live. You probably wouldn’t have even noticed a difference had I not told you just now. So don’t let it worry you, but definitely make sure you purchase the data so that you can continue to practice and learn!
