Ninja needs to fix all the the freezing and bug issues it has on NT8.

This is what everyone says, and everyone says it because it is mostly true. To me, it's not as bad as some folks make it out to be, but it is certainly worse than it ought to be. It also depends on running 3rd party code.

The best way I have found to deal with it, is to wipe and rebuild your workspaces every week. Which sucks.

But I don't think this is a problem that can just be fixed without rebuilding from the ground up. Seems like these lags and hiccups are a problem with the internal data and thread marshalling built into the architecture of the program. Many have blamed it on being too reliant on managed code and .NET; perhaps that's true, perhaps not.

Bookmap deals with a ton more data than NT8 (i.e., full depth, which NT specifically disallows) and never seems to have similar problems. Jigsaw, too. But these are tools that do specific narrow things well.

...anyway, I agree completely but who knows.

So a few of us here abandoned the strategy project that we were working on due to the bugs and issues with NT8.

Does the older NT7 provide what you need to build/run/test your strategy?

I mean, just curious, any specific new features of NT8 you were wanting to use?

I would love to know how many actual traders are using NT7 vs. NT8. I wonder if that would be a good survey question here on futures.io. But I suspect NinjaTrader might prefer we don't know.

Its about 75% NT8 / 25% NT7.

Could you say something to re-assure the NT7 users about NT7's continued longevity?

I sometimes worry there is a secret sunset date, or there is no real commitment to provide
critical updates to the product. For ex, say a new change to an existing adapter requires you
to upgrade the NT7 code, but you refuse to do that for NT7 -- basically forcing NT7 users of
that connection adapter to upgrade by proxy to NT8.

I call this 'upgrade by proxy' -- because, well, you get to claim it's not your fault.

Isn't that what happened to certain Forex users on NT7?
How committed to NT7 is NT management?
What criteria and thresholds should we know about?

Thanks

We have no plans to sunset NT7 at this time. We will continue to support it until such time that it is no longer economically viable to do so which is purely a subjective decision, there are no written criteria or thresholds that are used to make such decision. I suspect NT7 will have life for many years to come.

Thank you!

Can you go on the record and say you'll give notice X months/years in advance
of NT7 sunset?

"Many years to come" is nice to hear -- but when you finally do announce a date for NT7 sunset,
how will you do it? How much advance notice do you plan to provide?

If and when we decide to sunset, we will be sure to provide as much advanced notice as possible to our remaining NT7 users.

Hello all,
I am looking for a supply & demand indicator for NT8. I thought there was one under the "ama" Fat Tails, but is not there or has been rename. Hopefully I am putting this request in the right thread.
Any help is appreciate, Thank you.
