So why don't I still use Ensign?
I decided to switch to NT because of the live trading.

David, I think Ensign now supports feed to trade directly with Infinity Futures. Check with them. I have seen some fellow traders using Ensign with Infinity.

And.....nice lateral view -- is that yours?

cheers

I appreciate this discussion, as I am having problems with NT that their Customer Support is absolutely no help in solving.

I can't use NT with IB. It runs PERFECTLY with Zen-Fire trading futures. But it stalls immediately when trying to trade stocks with IB. I've used the "NT supported" TWS version (v895.3) with no difference. It simply does NOT work.

I have a Quad-Core (1.8ghz), Windows Vista 64-bit, 4 gb RAM machine, with two 23" Samsung monitors and an NVidia dual video card. I've read that the NVidia card could be the problem, but I've updated the drivers to no avail. I'm wondering if the digital side of the card is the problem. The analog side is fine with Zen-Fire.

NT says the problem is with the Vista 64 OS, but others are using it without problems.

I'm very frustrated with NT. I want a good, solid piece of software with CHART TRADING.

I just read on another website where RAY (CEO of NT) wrote on Oct. 7th, 2009, that NT7 is still months away from release. I doubt I'll wait.

Any suggestions will be MUCH appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Zephyr, and others , do you know how/where I could download the "NT supported" TWS version (v895.3) ?
Or maybe someone still have the install .exe for this version ?
I don't think it will solve my issues, but I can try...

When I was with Ensign they supported Infinity Futures which is Zenfire or TTT data.
I opened an Infinity account for that reason.
The problem is that the Infinity account will only trade using the Infinity AT DOM.
The charts still don't show the live trades and you still don't get a trading system built-into the charts.

Infinity wants you to use their charts and their AT trader. They will open and account and tell you to use Ensign but you are mostly on your own.

I assume when you refer to digital/analog you are talking about a video card with 1 DVI output and 1 VGA.. that will not affect your software in any way (other than the inherent color discrepancy between the two formats)

Can you trade forex through ninja/TWS, or does nothing work?

You can try loading ninja and TWS in a virtual machine and see if it works there (virtualbox is free VM program all you need is a winxp cd).. or try setting both programs to 'compatibility mode' in vista 64.. also make sure your API connector settings are right in TWS and in ninja

This is going to be a different kind of post. A different kind of thread. Mike, in fact, might not want it here, but I'm going to put it here, because it needs to be here, and what I have to say needs to be said.

I have just removed NinjaTrader from my computer. Literally, I am done with it. I will not ever be using it ever again. I spent close to $500 buying indicators for it, and that's money wasted, as well.

The sad truth is that NinjaTrader is an unstable piece of junk. I truly wish that it wasn't a piece of junk -- really, I do. The non-stop freezing, the constant hang-ups, the complete inability of NinjaTrader to deal with any meaningful amount of tick data... all of these are deal-breakers for me.
