Best Futures automated trading system

[shanemr]

I have experience developing fully automated strategies for forex. There are plenty of great tools for doing this.

What would you guys recommend for building and backtesting futures automated trading strategies? I am a c++ programmer so I'd ideally like a system that uses c or c++ style syntax and if possible a built in debugger (though that is probably to much to ask for).

I've found "Strategy Automation Station" by Strategy Runner but it seems quite primitive and there doesn't seem to be a big community using it. Which to me means it probably isn't any good.

A cursory look at "Ninja Trader" looks promising. Does anybody use it?

Any suggestions for other products I could use?

Regards,

Shane

I use ninja trader and have been overall happy with the platform. My programs and indicators are programmed in C#, and the automated feeds are pretty good. I use also use the Zen Fire feed, which is pretty fast and reliable. Hopes that helps.
