I was trying to make a switch from NT7 to NT8 (I hold a lifetime license) when I hit a bump in the road with the Time & Sales window. I've attached a screen shot of NT7 and NT8 for review.
For some reason the programmers decided to change the way T&S functions in NT8 Forex. Now they just set it for 100K which breaks the block alarm function as well as not being able to see a bigger picture. I understand the the data is filtered but at least NT7 worked with Forex/FXCM.
This is the response I got from NT:
Hello Segwin, and thank you for your question. Since forex is not centrally traded, FXCM has since 2004 sometimes provided data for hybrid historical and real time bars, and these were presented as tick information. In order to avoid ambiguity and to maintain consistency in presentation, NT8 simply sets this to 100k.
This is totally unacceptable. It worked fine for Forex in NT7. It was a very positive feature in NT7 and one of the major reasons that I purchased a lifetime license. Now it is basically useless.
Please put the NT7 coding back in place. I can't use NT8 without it.
The tech help said they would submit my request but who knows when and if anything will happen.
To the point - anyone know of a functioning TS for NT8 like NT7 was?
