If you are not connected to real-time data the
DOM is always empty. If you are connected to a FOREX instrument the
bid and ask will not be correctly displayed but just the last trade. You may need to switch to the FX Pro tool
For futures and shares the DOM should always display the current best
bid and best ask. If you set Show Market Depth = true, it should display market depth as well, if you have subscribed for the data.
I have had no problems so far with NT7.
Can you help answer these questions

yes. the funny thing is if I start with lets say TF loaded in the
dom , market depth is empty, but working for ES, YM, NQ, 6E etc. if ES is loaded when I connect, then ES is empty and TF, YM, NQ etc are working fine. really strange
NinjaTrader 7 to NinjaTrader 7 Old and restart NinjaTrader. Does it work now? If not you can delete the new folder NinjaTrader 7 and re-rename the old one. If yes, you may now copy the contents of the old folder to the new one bit by bit.

(1) Delete
DOM and open a new one.
(2) If (1) did not work, shut down NT, rename the folder Own Documents ->
NinjaTrader 7 to NinjaTrader 7 Old and restart NinjaTrader. Does it work now? If not you can delete the new folder NinjaTrader 7 and re-rename the old one. If yes, you may now copy the contents of the old folder to the new one bit by bit.
(3) If (2) did not help, make a backup, then rename that folder to NinjaTrader 7 Old and then reinstall NinjaTrader. Now copy the contents from the old folder as you need them.

Don't understand this. Do you mean
(a) you cannot get more than 3 levels on your
DOM
(b) you cannot display more than 3 DOMs simultaneously
(c) you cannot display
level 2 data for more than 3 different instruments
?
