First I will say that I'm going to move to NT8. I've spent enough time with it that I'm happy with the way it is working now (although the T&S needs to be changed). I have my issues that I'm bringing up on the NT forums because I want my voice heard. It is still in beta so there are those that may not want to move on but like Windows 3.1 to Windows 10 you'll be left out if you don't board the train. I still remember phones that had a separate ear piece from the mic. We also use to have milk delivered to our house. Point is you can't stop it so join in to change it. Please contribute on the forums.
The alerts function is really something I think will help a lot in trading. Another neat feature is being able to post real time to social network.
Those who own NT please contribute. We have a chance to be involved in its development.
Obviously this message only applies to those that own Ninja Trader.
To Photize: If you would like to add to the discussion in a positive manor please do. If you want to be sarcastic please take it somewhere else.

I've been a beta tester for ninja trader eight since I first started in closed beta. It has come a long way and I do think they still have some improvements to make. They do have a lot of really nice features. Most of the problems that I had with ninja trader eight was with order entry. An example is where I had an open position when I went to close the position it would not close. The life position had contingent orders attached to every time I would attempt to close it did nothing I even tried to drag up the stop loss or profit target I can't remember now and it still would not close. I had to restart the program. Once it started I was able to close the order. However when I went to look at my broker statement it had been closing and opening at least eight times. Overall all profit was lost and it was about a $75 loss just in trying to close the order.

Are you using 8 now or are you still on 7 AB?

Most of my trading is still done with seven. Especially when I'm trading a large position size as I still don't quite trust eight. Eight does have a lot of new features and more importantly the framework is far better. I don't know how much you know about computers but ninja trader eight takes advantage of the multicore multithread processors. It's Able to manipulate the data much faster. Eventually I'll move over to eight for all my trading but that still might be a little while. One thing I do like is I am able to connect to my three main brokers from one 64-bit platform. I use NinjaForex with FXCM for my Forex trading, Ninja futures for my futures trading obviously, and I can monitor my equities holdings with TD Ameritrade.
