Wipe out your "buggy NinjaTrader" comment and call it a day. You are now officially divorced from NinjaTrader, we are all your witnesses. Do not look back anymore, and stop posting angry messages.
I am myself interested in MultiCharts, so I am keen to participate in your experience. I am just not making the step now, because it is quite a heavy investment. Recoding my indicators will take weeks, if not months. But I plan a slow evolution in that direction as well.
Unless you come back with an experience similar to your NT adventures.
Please,if anyone can tell me more about NT-zenfire and security,
I guess that user name and password transmitted over internet
in encrypted form. If anyone knows about order submission,or
order canceling, is this operations transmitted via internet
in encrypted form ?
I believe NT7 sets up a 128-bit SSL session to encrypt all Zen-Fire client/server traffic, which covers the transactions you mentioned. Suggest you get in touch with Zen-Fire to confirm this.
I just started NinjaTrader and had a look at my monitoring tool to see what it does.
Even prior to establishing any connection with a data provider, NinjaTrader is heavily involved in setting up between 3 and 6 simultaneous connections. How can I know what it is doing?
(1) cdn-87-248-217-254.frf.llnw.net is a host located in Frankfurt and run by Limelight Networks. Limelight Networks is a content deliverer who allows for sending files via the public internet.
(2) If I check for hans-moleman.w3.org, I find an IP address 128.3052.37, which belongs to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), so probably nothing wrong here.
(3) The IP address 204.8.241.145 is related to the following host names:
All these sites belong to FXCM. One of the two data providers of Kinetick is FXCM, just strange that an internet connection to FXCM is established prior to connecting to Kinetick EOD.
(4) The IP address 64.74.223.35 is operated by Internap Network Services Corporation in Bellevue, Washington. It is also linked to the domain fclink.com, which is for sale.
Is there anybody who has checked NinjaTrader for establishing internet connections and give me an explanation of this?
www2.7ticks.com is a host operated by Interactive Data Company. The screenshot below confirms that the chart data has been downloaded from there, so no problem here.
But the screenshot also shows that data has been exchanged three other servers. Maybe they are servers for licence verification for the vendor licences. I do not know.
After giving this considerable thought, I would like to present the TMFT Top 10 List;
1. I have an extra tin foil hat you can wear. I attached a pic of me in mine. Gotta admit it looks pretty spiffy.
2. As long as the connection isn't to Guantanamo Bay... I wouldn't be too concerned.
3. You should see all the stuff those porn sites do to my computer.
4. Simple solution, don't use the internet. Unfortunately, trying to phone your orders in while scalping has always been difficult for me.
5. Get a job in a Prop Shop. Of course they will expect you to get dressed to trade there.
6. Sit in your brokers office and tell them to enter the trades for you. Have to warn you though, those $50 transaction fees kill my profits.
7. Just Sim Trade... that won't make you any money... but it will waste their time and teach them a lesson for watching what you are doing.
8. Trade from a computer at the public library and use anonymous pseudo address sites. I kept getting distracted by the hot librarians.
9. Send them a text message saying you need their help to get $1,000,000 out of your secret bank account and if they will wire you $500 you will split the $1,000,000 with them.
10. Ignore them and make a fortune trading instead.
Just messing with ya...
I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.
