Questions traders ask.
Getting started
- What is NexTick360?
- A futures trading platform for Windows: charts, footprint, DOM, chart trading and ATM brackets, with your limits, your prop firm's rules, a coach and your journal built in. It runs on your own broker account. See the platform
- Do I need to change brokers?
- No. NexTick360 connects to the account you already have, through Rithmic, CQG or TradeStation: the connections behind most US futures brokers and many prop firms. Find your broker or prop firm
- What does setting up involve?
- Install the app, sign in, add your broker login in Settings › Connections, and open a chart. Your workspaces, indicators and ATMs are yours to set up from there. How it works
- Can I try it free?
- Yes. 14 days of Order Flow, everything in it, with no card. Afterwards the Free plan keeps live charts on your own data. See the plans
Brokers and data
- Which brokers does it work with?
- Any broker that offers a Rithmic, CQG or TradeStation login. Data and orders are separate connections, so you can chart one feed and trade through another. All brokers and prop firms
- Does it work with my prop firm?
- Prop firms connect through Rithmic, with the login your firm gives you. Each firm decides which platforms it allows, so check your firm's list before you start an evaluation.
- Where does my market data come from, and where does it go?
- From your own broker account. It stays on your PC: kept there, encrypted, so charts open fast and work while the market is closed, and never sent to us or anyone else.
- Do I pay for market data?
- Exchange data fees are between you and your broker. NexTick360 doesn't charge for data.
- What can I trade?
- CME futures and their micros: equity indexes, energy, metals, rates, currencies and agriculture. What you can see and trade depends on what your broker account is enabled for.
Orders and safety
- Does NexTick360 place trades for me?
- Never on its own. Every order comes from you, or from an ATM bracket or guardrail you set up yourself. The coach and Nic, the AI coach, only speak: they can't place, change or cancel an order.
- What happens if my connection drops?
- Your orders keep working at your broker. When NexTick360 reconnects, it checks every order and position against what your broker reports; the broker is always the truth.
- Can it stop me from trading past my limits?
- Only the way you set it. Guardrails lock at the limits you choose; without them, the HUD and the coach warn you. Intelligence
Privacy
- How are my broker logins kept?
- Encrypted on your PC with Windows' own protection, readable only by your Windows account. They're never sent to us.
- What goes to the cloud?
- Your journal: trades, notes, tags, your screenshots and each trade's numbers, so the web journal, your phone and every PC you use show the same history. Never your market data.
- Can I get my data out?
- Yes. You can export your journal whenever you want.
Plans
- What does it cost?

Technical
- What do I need to run it?
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. There's no Mac version. Workspaces span as many monitors as you have.
- Is there a phone app?
- Not yet. Your journal works in any browser, on phones and tablets too. A phone app comes later.
- Do you support crypto or spot forex?
- No. NexTick360 is built for CME futures. If you trade crypto or spot forex, it isn't the tool for you, and we'd rather say so.
