Joel,
Do you know of anyone using NT and ETrade's streaming, real-time
MarketCaster quotes?

That's a great idea, maybe Joel or others that use Ninja could go
over those benefits. It certainly would be appreciated.
There's info on the NT site [1] but I'll take a stab at pointing out
the obvious...
1) NinjaTrader is a free application for advanced charting, market
analytics, system development and trade simulation. It's free until
you need to execute a trade and then it's $50/mo. You have a wide
choice of market data and execution providers.
TS is $99+/mo.
2) You can use NT with 100s of brokerages.
With TS you are more or less stuck with TS Brokerage.
3) High-performance backtesting and optimization engine.
With TS... You can fill in the blanks.
4) Real-time strategy simulation using live market data or market replay.
I think TS has this.
5) High-performance tick by tick processing for live order submission,
change and cancellation.
TS has...
6) Full access to the .NET framework and C# for programmers.
This beats coding DLLs using C++ and the ELKit for TS. It's much less
error-prone and I would dare say that .NET programmers can be hired
cheaper.
By all means, the above is not unique to NinjaTrader. There's
RightEdge, QuantStudio, etc. There's WealthLab, NeoTicker, TradeLab,
etc. I would say that only NinjaTrader is both accessible (free!),
battle-tested _and_ gives you C#/.NET.
