I've been spending off hours exploring NT 8. The enhanced ATM features look well thought out and are a real plus to the software. The chase feature looks promising. I have a lifetime license to Ninja Trader so I'm happy to see the team working on enhancements.
Would like to see others thoughts on this.

The Time & Sales window does nothing now in Forex. To me that is a real deal breaker. I shouldn't say it does nothing - you can still see bid/ask come through. I'll attach the pictures here that I posted over there as well. A link to my question on the Ninja Trader forums. Tech support responded. If you guys can voice an opinion over there it would be great.   |

all forex data where ever you get it from is filtered in some fashion or another. One reason I liked using MB was I could unfilter the forex data. The NT7 T&S data may not be a bog trader at all it could be several small traders grouped together, I don't know, and its hard to find out. How ever the NT8 data is simply tick data so the volume is fake. Humm, interesting.

I'm sure it is filtered AB. FXCM doesn't show institutional activity however it may be a close approximation to the activity going through FXCM.
As I sit here watching NT7 T&S I can see the number of contracts changing. In heavy news time it's tripping my block alarm a lot. To me it shows a fair representation of what is happening (through FXCM).
Now, in NT8, just setting it to 100K is useless. It never trips a block alarm as well.
Maybe it's time to go to futures.

The good thing about futures is it is a regulated market, we all get and see the same price. it good once you have honed your methodology and you know you can trade profitable since your risk is higher per trade.

Wanted to provide update that based on feedback we will be reverting to the NT7 style of volume reporting. Technically the volume reported in NT7 is the number of offer updates on the FXCM servers. Since it isn't actually volume and there is no data point for actual traded volume with NT8 we looked to set it to hard coded 100K which would be consistent with other FX providers. However per feedback we will revert to displaying # of offer updates as we did in NT7 since there is some inherent value in that still.
Our next beta release is coming along and will be out soon.
Thanks for the feedback.
