Platform Overview
Breakdown by Platform
Deepcharts
Deepcharts is the advanced volume-based platform and the route to pick if you trade order flow. It covers footprint charts, market depth, Time and Sales, Level 2 data and volume profiling. Order handling is strong: market, limit and stop orders, draggable stop loss and take profit directly on the chart, single OCO with estimated risk and reward displayed, Multi OCO for multiple targets, multiple stops and partial exits, and a FLAT button that closes every open position instantly. You log in through Downloads in your Blue Guardian dashboard using the credentials emailed to you, then connect the DXFeed data feed from the Web Platform menu; a green dot confirms it, and trading is disabled until that connection is live.
Deepcharts on Mac
The Deepcharts web version works fully on Mac in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. The desktop version is Windows-based, so Mac users need something like Parallels to run it. On desktop installation you select your exchanges from CME, COMEX, CBOT and NYMEX, set DXFeed as the data feed and Propfirm as the server.
Tradovate
Tradovate powers the account infrastructure and execution on the second route. It gives cloud-based futures trading, fast order execution, browser and mobile access, simple account management and TradingView integration. It is the choice if you want to reach your account from more than one device.
NinjaTrader
NinjaTrader comes bundled with the Tradovate route and adds advanced charting, strategy building, backtesting, custom indicators and professional execution tools. Note that Blue Guardian Futures prohibits fully automated trading, so NinjaTrader strategy automation features can be used for analysis and semi-automation but not to run a hands-off system.
TradingView
TradingView is available through the Tradovate integration, so you can analyse on TradingView charts, execute directly through Tradovate, use your own TradingView indicators and layouts, and reach it from web and mobile. It is the familiar option if you would rather not learn either native interface.
Final Comments
Data is where the real cost sits. CME Level 1 is included by default on Deepcharts. Adding CBOT, COMEX and NYMEX Level 1 costs $5 for all three together, not $5 each. Level 2 is optional and priced per exchange at $12.10 for CME, CBOT, COMEX or NYMEX individually, or $36.50 for the CME Group bundle. Blue Guardian explains that COMEX Level 2 in particular is an exchange-specific premium feed carrying its own exchange cost, and that standard market data still works without it.
