How It Works

From Download to First Coaching Tip in 5 Minutes

Six simple steps. No complex configuration. Connect your platform, trade normally, and let NexTick360 show you what you've been missing.

01

Download & Install

Download the desktop app and install in under a minute. Windows 10/11. No admin rights required. Native WPF application built for speed and stability during live trading sessions.

02

Connect Your Platform

Enter your platform credentials in the guided onboarding wizard. We support Rithmic today, with TradeStation and CQG coming soon. Your credentials are encrypted locally via Windows DPAPI — they never leave your machine.

03

Select Your Instruments

Pick the futures you trade — ES, NQ, CL, GC, and more. NexTick360 auto-resolves the front-month contract for you, so there's no re-configuration when contracts roll.

04

Trade Normally

Use your existing platform — NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, Bookmap, or whatever you trade with. NexTick360 runs alongside in the background, listening to your platform's data feed.

05

Get Real-Time Coaching

After every fill, NexTick360 calculates your slippage, mark-outs, MFE/MAE, and execution quality — then delivers coaching tips on the dockable HUD overlay. No workflow disruption.

06

Review Your Session

After your session, review KPIs on the dashboard: win rate, execution grade, cost of slippage, behavioral patterns, and more. Track your improvement over time.

Designed Around Your Workflow

Zero Workflow Disruption

The HUD overlay docks to the edge of your screen. Adjustable opacity, width, and position. Auto-shows when your platform connects. Stays out of your way.

Tray-First Experience

NexTick360 lives in your system tray. Left-click for a quick popup with session metrics. The main window is for setup and post-session review. Screen real estate is sacred.

Works Alongside Everything

NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, Bookmap, Quantower — whatever you use for charting and execution. NexTick360 is a companion, not a replacement.
