While I do have reservations and wish they would reconsider restating brokers like Optimus. The webcast was good in that it helped me understand why they feel the need to go this direction.
"The day I became a winning trader was the day it became boring. Daily losses no longer bother me and daily wins no longer excited me. Took years of pain and busting a few accounts before finally got my mind right. I survived the darkness within and now just chillax and let my black box do the work."
@NinjaTrader I do have a question in regard to the webinar. You mentioned eventually trying to move some NT operations to the cloud things like strat calculations etc.... I realize this may be a ways off. But is the plan to keep a version that will run stand alone on local machines. I ask because if co-locating I would want all processing to be done on that machine and not on NT servers as it would increase latency.

I enjoyed it all my questions were answered. NT is not my primary platform for Futures, but it is for Forex. I think NT and it's staff have done a great job being open and straightforward about this acquisition and transition. In this day an age, they really stepped up to the plate to explain all of their thoughts and why this was done. They've used threads on here, webinars, and countless other methods to get the message out there. Most "Big Software Companies" and "Big Brokerages" would have just put out a press release that pretty much stated the facts and said take it or leave it.
I guess that the release 8 version NT will be July 15 ;-)
* If investing gets too difficult for a seventh grader to understand, the system is needlessly complex
* Markets produce an enormous volume of information, much of which is redundant
* In every game and con there's always an opponent, and there's always a victim. The trick is to know when you're the latter, so you can become the former
Anything that we move to the cloud would be for NinjaTrader Brokerage clients thus we will still need local implementation to support customers that use a different brokerage.
@NinjaTrader will NT brokerage customers have ability to use cloud and local implementation?

Just a thought, maybe you can include a lease to own option for your software. Maybe the lease price difference goes towards you owning a full license. And you get a full license once you have paid enough in comission difference or you pay the remaining difference, and you get bumped down to the lower rate.
I started my paper work to move to NT brokerage as I have a lifetime licence, I also plan to keep a secondary account with another broker which clears via vision. I will update once my account has been opened.
