Think of NinjaTrader as a workspace made up of connected windows for viewing and studying market data. Start by learning what each window does; there is no need to open every feature at once.
Key concepts
- Control Center
- The platform's main window, where you can open other windows and manage the current workspace.
- Chart
- A window that displays price data for a selected instrument, interval, and chart style.
- Workspace
- A saved arrangement of platform windows and their layout.
Learn it step by step
- 1After opening the platform, locate the Control Center.
- 2Use the New menu to become familiar with window names such as Chart, SuperDOM, and Market Analyzer.
- 3Open one chart, review its data series, interval, and trading-hours template, and add other windows only as needed.
The interface and available options can change between platform versions. Check the Help Guide for the version you use.
