NT8 Lifetime License GTG?

What are the thoughts on NT8 lifetime license? I have been with TD and use TOS, but am looking to change platforms and utilize better data feeds/tools that NT has.

I am mainly interested in the SuperDOM and their customizable volume profiles add ons. Are they worth the charge or are their better vendor options out there?

How easy is it to port custom indicators to NT from TOS?

Did you get Lifetime? If so, was it worth it?
I am a new futures trader coming from TOS to NT8 because I wanted a better order entry system, and now I am facing the same question you did two years ago.

The free version allows you to use it for real but in SIM mode. You should play around with the free version before thinking about investing in it first.

yep, but always keep in mind the free version doesn't has all the orderflow tools. I never could understand why they don't offer a trail with all features. IMHO not smart and no logic behind.

Yeup. I have been using NT8 for 6 months or so and love the software but am on the fence about the lifetime purchase for a few reasons.

Whos to say they won't come out with Ninjatrader9 tomorrow?

They hold few features back EVEN THOUGH I PAY quarterly!!! I think order flow is one of them!

So be prepared to buy a NEW FULL license to get access to those tools. (Of course check with them. Support is simply incredible. One of the best in the business)

So to me if I find eventually it doesn't add value I'll just stop using it and place orders on my IB platform which I did for years before anyway.

But it is still fantastic software though. Worth a free try no question.

Unless something has changed, with the lifetime license, you'll have access to newer versions. I started using NT when it was on NT7 and as soon as NT8 came out, was able to use my same license key for NT8 no questions asked. FYI.

Oh wow. Thank you so much! I didn't know that.

NT8 has a TON of add-ons and usually they get "converted" anyway so probably wouldn't matter too much I guess anyway.

@paulod57

"IMO"
The simplest way to get the full feature version of NT-8 is to sign up for their 3 month "Lease", you get the full version and if you decide to go ahead with purchasing the Lifetime License NT will apply the balance of your 3 month lease payment to the purchase price of the lifetime license.

30 days should be enough time for you to know if you want to go for the Lifetime license purchase?

Alternatively, if you're unhappy with the NT-8 platform you can use the software for 90 days and let the lease expire.

Um I dont think that's correct. I AM paying quarterly and they DO HOLD back the order flow tools and some others!

For such a good company its slimy!

So maybe TALK with them first @paulod57

@Sandpaddict, @tr8er, @paulod57

I didn't want to reply to this message until I was certain of the answer so I reached out to Platform Sales at NinjaTrader for confirmation.

Here is their response:

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in upgrading to a Lifetime license.

When upgrading to a lifetime license from an existing lease, we offer a pro-rated refund on time remaining on the lease.

The lifetime license is a onetime payment to NinjaTrader for $1099 USD

(or can be made in 4 easy payments of $329 USD and your license key will never expire.)

You will also receive all future versions of NinjaTrader at no additional cost!

If you would like to take advantage of this offer your can complete your purchase by doing the following:

Purchase Here: https://ninjatrader.com/BuyPlatform

The Lifetime license key does not have a trial period, all license key purchases are final as we do not offer refunds on live license keys.

However, you may use the simulated license key to utilize the full platform potential in simulation mode.

Please copy the license key provided below and paste it under the Control Center> Help> License Key:
@SIM-(License Key Number from Platform Sales Go's Here)

Please ensure that you have restarted NinjaTrader for the changes to be applied.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,
Kimberly R
NinjaTrader Platform Customer Service

In addition to the above:

Throughout the month of June, NinjaTrader is offering an opportunity to SAVE on a Lifetime license!

Traders that open a new NinjaTrader Brokerage account by June 30th can save $100 on a new Lifetime license at a discounted price of only $999.

Learn more here: https://ninjatrader.com/June-Promo-2021

In addition to saving on NinjaTrader’s deep discount futures commissions – as low as $.09 per Micro contract.

With the recent introduction of Micro Bitcoin futures & the upcoming launch of Micro Crude Oil futures, now is the ideal time to get started with the full power of NinjaTrader.

This limited time promotion expires on June 30th


FWIW: That $999 price is what I paid for my Lifetime License back in 2010, and I have never regretted the purchase.


Trade well,
Botts
