You built a trading desk out of five different tools.
One for charts. One for the heatmap. One for footprint. A copier bolted on the side, a folder of paid indicators, and an AI in a browser tab that has never seen your chart. SabrTrader is all of that in one window, wired to the broker you already use.
Download SabrTrader free See pricing14 days of full access. No card. Then Free forever if you don't upgrade.
One install, one login. Charts with order entry, a footprint, the SuperDOM ladder, the liquidity heatmap and the Market Analyzer, all reading the same live feed.
Does this look like your setup?
Nobody plans a stack like this. It grows one purchase at a time, every time your platform can't do the next thing you need.
A pile of logins, several subscriptions, and none of them know the others exist.
"I've used quite a few trading platforms over the years and Sabr just feels like a much more modern way of doing things. It's fast, charts are really responsive, and everything feels like part of one system rather than having to rely on loads of third-party plugins. I genuinely wouldn't want to go back to the older platforms now."
skipstreamThe subscriptions aren't the expensive part
Add up the monthly bills and it stings. But what a patched-together desk really costs you shows up at 9:30, not on your card statement.
- Your tools can't talk to each other. The heatmap shows a wall at 7540. Your footprint is in another program, your order ticket in a third. You are the integration layer, and you're doing it during the fastest minutes of the day.
- Every extra program is one more thing to fail at the open. Two platforms means two feed connections, two sets of updates, and two ways to freeze when volume hits.
- The copier is a bolt-on, and it's carrying your funded accounts. A platform update lands, the add-on hasn't caught up, and now five accounts are out of sync.
- Your AI is blind. A chat window that gets a screenshot can describe a picture. It can't read the delta on the last forty bars or see that you're already long.
A desk made of five tools has four seams. Most of what goes wrong, goes wrong at a seam.
"The most frustrating thing about NinjaTrader was the constant lockup at the open when there is a lot of volume. Executions here are so much better, no noticeable lag in order entries or exits."
LasVegasGuy · 4 years on NinjaTrader, in our DiscordThe heatmap, the footprint and the ladder on one chart
The liquidity heatmap, the footprint and the SuperDOM all read the same real-time order book, so they never disagree with each other. Find the level on the heatmap, time it on the ladder, and place the order without leaving the window.
- Market by Order when your feed has it. Per-order depth from Rithmic, CQG or Databento, with iceberg detection. Falls back to Level 2 cleanly when it doesn't.
- 14 footprint templates with imbalances, absorption, exhaustion and stopping volume, plus a full volume profile with TPO.
- Included in every paid plan. It isn't an add-on and there's no second data bill.
"You can log your favourite instruments with true MBO from Rithmic, not simulated as per NinjaTrader and Tradovate. This is huge. It easily kept up with NQ market open with no apparent drops."

The copier ships with the order engine it copies from
It's one build, tested together. There's no version mismatch to wait out and no second vendor to chase when something looks off.
- Per-account sizing and symbol remap. Trade one ES on the master, copy ten MES to the small account.
- Brackets, OCO and exits mirror too, so every account carries its own stop and target.
- Runs several Rithmic logins at once, which is what most prop setups actually need.
- Even the Free plan copies one master to one follower. Pro handles five followers, Ultimate is unlimited.
An AI that reads the chart, not a screenshot of it
Ask "what's my bias for the NY open?" and the AI pulls the actual bars, footprint, delta and your open positions before it answers, and cites what it found. When the data isn't there, it says so.
- It can act, with your permission. It proposes a drawing, an indicator or an alert. Nothing changes until you click confirm.
- It never tells you to buy or sell. It's a desk mate that does the reading, not a signal service.
- Bring your own model key. Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and others, at the provider's price with no markup from us.
- It builds strategies too. Describe a setup in a sentence and get a backtested, runnable strategy back.
The tools you'd have bought next
Strategy builder and generator
AlgoStudio Pro builds a strategy by pointing and clicking. The Auto Strategy Builder evolves thousands of them overnight and stress-tests the survivors out of sample and with Monte Carlo.Backtest and live run on the same engine. Nothing to port.
The TradeDevils indicators
Footprint, volume and market profile, market structure, pivots, initial balance, Half Trend, Swing Delta Wave and the rest of the premium suite, on top of 200+ standard studies.Maintained with the platform, so an update never strands them.
Journal and risk limits
The Trade Journal records every trade with its orders, chart and context, without you typing anything. Risk Master enforces daily loss and trade caps, with a hard day-lock that flattens you.Both on the Ultimate plan.
What changes for you, specifically
NinjaTrader
The workflow carries over: SuperDOM, Chart Trader, ATM brackets, Market Analyzer, Market Replay and the Strategy Analyzer are all here. What's new is what you've been bolting on: the heatmap, the copier, the AI. Your NinjaScript indicators won't run here, but the SDK is C# with hot reload, so porting your own code is quick.Several of the quotes below come from long-time NinjaTrader users.
Bookmap
You keep the read you're used to: resting liquidity over time, volume bubbles, trade bursts, icebergs on MBO data. What you gain is everything around it. Indicators, footprint and order entry sit on the same chart as the heatmap.One platform to keep running at the open instead of two.
ATAS
The footprint will feel familiar: bid/ask, delta, volume clusters, imbalances, absorption. Then add a heatmap built on the same order book, a native copier for your funded accounts, and a strategy generator that uses the order flow data you already trade from.Same reads, fewer windows.
TradingView
Honest answer: if you want charts in a browser or on your phone, or you live off community Pine scripts, TradingView is better at that. SabrTrader is for when you've outgrown it: real depth-of-market data, a DOM, footprint, and direct execution through Rithmic, CQG, Tradovate and 30+ other brokers and feeds."I just cancelled my TradingView subscription and started porting all my indicators over."

"Before Sierra Chart was my fav, now I would rate Sabr as #1. Sabr is a beast in footprint, MBO, volume profile, VWAP, everything was beautifully crafted."

"Wow this thing is amazing! I just cancelled my TradingView subscription and started porting all my indicators over to SabrTrader. Can't wait to start automating these with Algo Studio."
RayMeeks · came from TradingView
"Before SabrTrader, I mainly used NinjaTrader for prop firm evaluations and order execution, TradingView for charting, and TradeStation/Build Alpha for strategy development. For me, the combination of execution, Order Flow, strategy research, and custom development in one environment is what makes it interesting."

You don't have to cancel anything to find out
SabrTrader is the cockpit, not the broker. It connects to the Rithmic, CQG, Tradovate or other account you already have. Your money stays where it is.
- Install it next to your current setup. Nothing gets uninstalled, and your broker login works in both.
- Trade it on sim or replay first. You get 14 days with every paid feature unlocked, and no card is asked for.
- Cancel the old tools one at a time, when you notice you've stopped opening them.
SabrTrader runs on Windows, and it's a younger platform than the ones it replaces. You will find rough edges that a fifteen-year-old product sanded off long ago. What you get in return is a team that ships updates often and answers questions in Discord. If that trade-off doesn't suit how you work, the Free plan costs you nothing to keep around until it does.
Priced like one tool, not five

What people ask before switching
Do I have to change brokers?
No. SabrTrader is broker-neutral and connects to 38 brokers and data feeds, including Rithmic, CQG, Tradovate, Interactive Brokers, dxFeed and Databento. Orders execute at your broker. We never hold funds.
Will my NinjaTrader indicators work?
Not directly, NinjaScript is specific to NinjaTrader. The TradeDevils suite is already included natively, along with 200+ standard studies. For your own code, the SDK is plain C# with hot reload, so a rebuild shows up on the chart without restarting.
Is one platform doing everything going to be worse at each thing?
Fair worry. Judge it piece by piece: the heatmap, the footprint and the SuperDOM each have their own page with real screenshots, and the trial unlocks all of them. If one piece doesn't hold up against the tool you use now, keep that tool. You'll still have dropped the rest.
Can I trust a newer platform with live orders?
Start on sim and replay, then go live on one small account. A position-management layer prevents duplicate stops, Flatten All is always one click away, and your broker's own risk controls still apply underneath.
What happens after the 14 days?
You drop to the Free plan and keep using it. Nothing is deleted and no card was on file, so nothing gets charged.
Does it run on Mac?
Not today. SabrTrader is a Windows application.
Stop renting five tools. Trade on one.
Install it next to what you have, connect the broker you already use, and see how many windows you still need by Friday.
