BlackArrow for Prop Traders: Features, Firms and Limits

BlackArrow is Nelogica's trading platform for futures and other markets. It runs on web, desktop and mobile, with device features that can differ. This is a research-based platform guide. I have not published a hands-on BlackArrow trade or execution test.

What can you do on BlackArrow?

BlackArrow offers charts, real-time market data, order entry and risk settings. Its prop-trading page lists CME top-of-book data, volume profile, volume-at-price tools and limits that traders can set before a session. It also says positions and risk controls are managed server-side. That describes the platform's tools; it does not prove that every prop firm's rule can be prevented at order entry.

The broader BlackArrow product lists OCO orders, AutoBreakeven, trailing stops, Market Replay and strategy automation. Availability differs by plan and connected firm. Check the exact feature set in the account you intend to buy. An advertised platform feature is not a promise that your evaluation includes it.

Where can you use it?

BlackArrow advertises web access, desktop versions for Windows and Mac, and mobile access. The company says features vary by device and configuration. If your trading depends on a DOM, hotkeys or several charts, test that workflow on the device you will actually use. Do not assume the phone view can replace your desktop setup.

Which prop firms support BlackArrow?

BlackArrow maintains its own list of connected prop firms. The list includes The5ers Futures and Zimtra, among others, and marks some firms as coming soon. Zimtra is a connected firm, not the software's developer. A firm being listed by BlackArrow does not establish that every account type at that firm offers the platform. Confirm the platform on the firm's current checkout page before paying.

What does it cost?

There is no single BlackArrow price that applies to every prop-firm account. BlackArrow's prop-trading page advertises a 15-day platform trial. Zimtra advertises a separate first-month offer for eligible Zimtra customers. Other account fees, market-data entitlements and plan features depend on the route you choose. I cannot verify an all-firm $32/$99 price or a free first month for every buyer, so I would compare the actual checkout and renewal terms, including exchange data, before choosing a firm.

What I would verify before an evaluation

First, open the firm's current checkout and confirm BlackArrow is available for the exact program and account size. Then check the device, market-data package, order types, automation or replay access, and whether these features carry separate fees. Finally, compare the firm's written loss and position rules with the risk settings shown in the platform. The firm's rules remain the authority if the display differs.

My verdict is conditional. BlackArrow has useful tools on paper, including multi-device access and server-side controls. I cannot rank its execution against NinjaTrader or Tradovate without a comparable test. Choose the firm and account rules first, then test BlackArrow in its trial or simulator before relying on it for a paid evaluation.
