Input field Tab order should proceed in a logical use manner not in a random fashion as it does now.
For example when editing strategy optimizer parameter fields Tabbing should proceed to the next parameter, not to the current instrument -> instruments tab -> ??? -> Summary tab -> ??? -> Strategy List... as it does now. Not very user friendly.

Minor nit-pick but little things like that are the difference between a user friendly polished piece of software and one where the user gets the feeling that the programmer just said, "well its good enough".

Agree, I am a big user of the tab key and keyboard in general as opposed to mouse. It's much faster when doing things of a repetitious nature.

Not sure if these things have been mentioned, or if the exist, but...

1. Ability to turn off and on the extended portion of a Ray.
2. Ability do click drawn fibs and erase individual lines independently without having to go into the properties and uncheck the one you don't want.
3. Having price show on a horizontal line placed on the chart.
4. Being able to align all charts in a workspace in various ways automaticslly. For example, if you have 4 chats you could click align equally and each chart would be the same size. Or align vertically or horizontal.

Thanks

The ability for a broker to push notifications for specific user or in general to all users.
Alerting customers to rollovers, fed dates, major economic releases, etc

At present - NT calculates the values for Primary data series First and then secondary dataseries - though the code has an explicit order in which events have to be calculated (first calculate on secondary series and then primary series). This seems to be a limitation with NT and would like to have it addressed and the flexibility should be given to user on the sequence of calculations.

Got to admit Sierra Chart have done a fantastic work in this space to accommodate the Sequence of calculations - which is very accurate way to do it - when needed and would like to have some what similar flexibility in NT as well - let the code decide which series to be calculated first.

We can start taking bets?

@NinjaTrader Ray will be back on Feb 27th on futures.io (formerly BMT) for another webinar on NT8. So it's probably a good idea to stay tuned to that webinar.

set an over under, closest guy wins. Requires either official company press release as that will have a time stamp...or the actual first day available.

I'll take the OVER.

NT8 feature request: Increase the number of simultaneous threads for IQFeed connections. IQFeed is rate limiting at about 1.5MB/sec per thread/connection. I would want 4 threads that way it would better utilize my connection and speed up the download of data as needed.
