Get started with the Enhanced Chart Trader by purchasing the Basic Chart Trader Tools!  This product replaces and improves upon the standard NinjaTrader Chart Trader.  The Basic Chart Trader Tools is included with any of the following products – add additional features by purchasing one of these products instead:

Free Edition Of NinjaTrader –

The Basic Chart Trader Tools allows entries to be submitted with exit orders using the Free Edition of NinjaTrader!  Entry orders can be submitted using the Market, Limit, or Click buttons in the Enhanced Chart Trader.  When any of these orders are filled, Stop loss (SL) and Profit (PT) orders will be submitted, with a quantity matching the entry order quantity.  These exit orders are One Cancels Other (OCO) and the number of ticks can be customized using the controls below the Main Account selection.  If multiple entry orders are submitted, each set of exit orders is identified with a unique number, so trades are clearly separated.

We recommend purchasing NinjaTrader for access to Trader + premium features for building ATM Strategies.  However, the Basic Chart Trader Tools includes simple automatic exit orders while using the Free Edition of NinjaTrader.
