There is a little bit of discussion here, but it is more about brokers than it was about the platform itself. Still you may want to PM some of those members.

T4 is ok, get's the job done, fast connection, stable. For point and click traders, scalpers especially, it is a bit of a pain though. It doesn't offer bracket orders so if you are trading with more than one lot you need to do a lot of point and clicking, and the buttons are really tiny and along the top, so, not really user friendly and not very good for moving your position around quickly and efficiently.

Ninjatrader's bracket orders are great but still the T4 dom is better because you can stretch it out and see more prices. Ninjatraders ability to hide entry and exit orders from the hft machines is pretty cool though. X-Trader is the bomb, but it's expensive. At any rate, T4 offers a fast and reliable connection, it's just opens up a lot of room for fat finger error and detracts from focus on the tape when trying to get more complex orders into the dom, so it's not great for scalpers in fast markets if they are doing anything other than a basic oco all in order. The people at T4 have been saying for some months that they will be adding bracket order capability although they have said they cannot give an eta. Would be nice to see some big fat buttons on the side like X trader as well.....

Copied this from the TopStepTrader thread. I am curious by what you mean regarding "NinjaTrader's ability to hide entry and exit orders from the HFT machines". Do you just mean local simulated orders?
