USERS GUIDE
The Ninja Dom Trading Execution
Platform is software that takes a quantum
leap forward in trade execution
management. The software configures and
executes trades that cannot be taken on
any other trading platform. The Ninja Dom
Trading Execution Platform is easy to use
and displays your entry/exit options with
great clarity. The Ninja Dom Trading
Execution Platform will provide you with
NDT TRADE EXECUTION PLATFORM
When trading time, tick, volume etc. based charts one of the most difficult things to do is to execute a trade on formation close. You must wait until the formation closes, which can be sudden in a fast moving market and then rush in and try to obtain an execution price as close to formation close as possible. The lag time, often leads to many ticks of slippage on the trade. The same problem occurs if you wish to close a trade on a reversal candle or on the break of a trend line. The NDT Platform eliminates this problem. The trade is
formatted electronically well before the close of the formation.
Execution is instantaneous and usually occurs at the exact formation close price. Additionally, executing a trade on a pre-formatted pull-back price can provide you with additional money on every successful trade and limit your losses on every unsuccessful one.
