Ninja is complete garbage, but everyone is still using it, they will always blame something/someone but not themselves. I moved on and got rid of my lifetime license.

I'm curious what you mean by "got rid of"?

I appreciate your opinion, however that does not answer or help to answer my question

I know you said you have this issue no matter what internet connection you use. Thing is, I used to have that problem too when I had Comcast. But I haven't had a problem since I got the municipal fiber optic internet from my hometown. Your ISP matters.

Most of the integrations we have with brokerages and/or connectivity providers, CQG included, are through what's called an Application Programming Interface (API) which is provided by said providers. NinjaTrader does not handle the connectivity between your PC and said provider, the API provided by the provider does. We ask it to "Connect" and it tells us when there is a connection loss, which we then report through our application to the user.

Within the API that is provided, there is a heartbeat mechanism by where the API communicates with its server asking "are you still there" and if it does not receive a response with some set amount of time, it then reports a connection loss to the application that is using the API. The connection stability can be your PC or VPS, the end server (CQG's in this case) or anything in between along the internet path.

There are some additional low level trace information that the CQG API outputs that our customer services team might be able to look at, but unless CQG's servers are the issue (which would have widespread implications even outside of NinjaTrader users) the likely culprit somewhere from the VPS provider through the internet to the CQG server(s).

Ok, thanks for the information here.

As a consumer trying to find the best solution to run your platform seamlessly, is there a data provider whos connection is more stable than another?

Why does ninjatrader lose connection to data?

I have used your platform(s) for 10 years now and the one issue I can not seem to figure out is lost connection.

It seems to happen no matter the internet I have, the computer I use, the VPS I pay for, the feed I run.

All I want for Christmas is to be able to run my systems Sunday through Friday without a drop in connection.

Please help me understand why this happens, why it seems to be more common on NT than any other platform I have used and what I can do to ensure the most stable connection?

When I have inquired in the past about this through the support channels, everyone points fingers. Ninja says its my internet, the vps provider says we're stable its the platform... round and round we go.

Thanks for reaching out.

1. Stock screener - We started working on a dedicated client/server stock screening service however, this project has been put on hold due to other projects that have higher priority. Alternatively, you can harness the power of the Market Analyzer to filter and screen. No ETA if and when we will get back to the screener project.

2. Portfolio trading is on our enhancement list as something that will be considered for future addition.

3. Python bridge - No plans at this time.

4. Alpaca - No plans at this time.

5. ACH is currently a project being worked and we hope to announce something sooner than later.
