Yeah I didn't have too much on it, basic volume studies incl volume profile and that's it. Good to see that the stability has improved, I use Investor RT with TT order system through my broker now and that has not crashed in all the time that I have used it. On really big news announcement the feed from DTN IQ does lag for a minute or so (I'm in the UK) and I've hassled them about it before but not much can be done so I use a basic chart attached to my TT feed which stays up to date. So the only thing that can go wrong is my internet connection which is my problem!

Do you use NT and do you find it to be quite stable? It has good add ons, especially footprint charts which are lacking on Investor RT.

I'm not a good one to ask here I have some complicated custom indicators and many charts, maybe others might have a better answer

I'm happy to be proved wrong. When I was using it, which as I stated was years ago, the platform crashed a lot and the orders were held on my machine. I'm happy that this is no longer the case and things have improved!

The version of NinjaTrader you used held the orders on your machine? How so? I have never heard of that before.

only simulated order entry is local. the rest is on the exchange. Not to be confused with entries on a sim account.

I have no idea what version. It would have been 10 years ago. I remember sitting in my office conducting a heated argument with an NT rep on the phone as I wanted a refund for my rental fee as I was totally unaware that orders were held locally and would never have signed up otherwise. He did the the classic "well you should know about this, it's on section 11, subsection 10, section iii) of the ts and cs, you should have done your research."

It appears that this is no longer the case so all good, I take it back and my apologies. I will amend my post as it is no longer accurate.

Not when I was trading with it!
