Can you run two different versions of NT7 on the same machine? Run two operating systems?

Sure, I do it now with VBox. You will need a Virtual Machine like VirtualBox to make that happen.

Guy

Tundi, got your PM, I can't reply there since I don't have five posts. If you PM me your email address I'll respond to you.

Agreed. With an Virtual Machine this can be done quite easy (left NT chart in native windows 7, right screen is an instance of VirtualBox running with another NinjaTrader version. Btw, I'm using here two NinjaTrader with the same license key):

Hi @Jura,

Slightly off topic.

What is the Ping Indicator in panel two on the V Box instance of NT?

Is it available for download?

Thanks.

Just an simple indicator which pings a couple of websites on each bar update. Based on the ConnectionMonitor from MXASJ (see this thread), which contains an example of pinging with C#. It's just an test indicator for me to try some things, nothing fancy. If you feel the code can help you in some way, let me know.

Regards,

localhost is 127.0.0.1, not 172 .
Is your datafeed will allow two connections ? If you don't ask your datafeed provider/broker, that won't be possible.
