Good for you, but i was talking about the static superdom usage with a third party broker. See not incorrect at all.
And i would encourage you to try the static dom, makes executing so much easier imo.
I personally had no further issues during the upgrade, but this change forces me to switch completely to another platform and close my NTB account b/c Sierra cannot exec against NTB and i am not willing to have two different DOMs running and i am certainly not giving up my main broker.
Oh well, such is life.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
So sorry you got suckered into the update. I have been with Ninja Trader since NT6.5. That is really dating myself. The big lesson is not to update a working platform for at least a few updates. I always come back to Ninja as the best platform, I tried so many different platforms and nothing comes close to the overall functionality I need as a trader.
For pure algo trading Metatrader5 might be a better choice, not sure.
After signing in to my NT8 portal (new - looks like Tradovate) I see no option for starting or stopping (choosing) data.
So do we have to download the NEW version to be able to change data subscription????
Click the person avatar in top right corner, click Settings, then find the tab Plans. You will find market data subscriptions there.

I like some of the new things:
- Adding a Web and Mobile platform (been waiting for something like this for a while)
- Adding Server-side ATM for the PC app (will make it safer trading for those with unstable connections, and can abolish the need of trading with a VPS)
NOte:
Did not find any issues yet with the 8.1.1 version on my PC yet. GUI is a little more modern and pleasing, but not big changes.
Some Issues found on new site and new Web app:
- I cannot access market replay on the new web application. (this weekend would have been great to practice and discover its features, but been limited by not been able to sim trade on replay). Tradovate help pages mention that thhis is an add on, but I do not see any place for add-ons on the Ninjatrader Web app.
- My multi broker license is enabled on my PC software, but it is not enabled on my website profile.
- New web plaform needs more documentation and help files on the ninjatrader site (I ended up visiting the tradovate site for materials)
- Demo account should probably be enabled by default to all customers. It took me a good while to figure out that I did not have a simulated account number, and some additional time to figure out how to create it.
- Missing some heatmap intdicators (like the one included in the orderflow+ suite)
- Missing complex alert rules based on indicators or graphic objects
- Moving through the timeline in a chart is challenging. I miss using the cursor keys, and having the arrow on the chart to get to the last/current candle.
- There is no strategy wizard for documetation for startegies and and indicator building.
Question:
- When trading from the new web and mobile apps, will the ATM work on the server side? If connection is lost, or web browser is close, Ninja will take care of executing ATM instructions?
1) NT7 and NT8 can run simultaneously on one computer. Two instances of NT8 can't. Running NT8+NT7 provides solutions for multiple accounts, alternate data/strategies, workload balancing, etc.
2) NT8 charts lag during open/close, news events, and other fast market times with high trade rates. NT7 charts don't lag and so provide a bridge through NT8 lag periods.
I had problems using NT8 with my EXPENSIVE lifetime license. Buggy platform, made me just stick with Sierra Charts as I don't have the time or inclination to fight with them anymore over this. So I just bot another thousand dollar lesson. Liked the TSTrader Tradovate platform on Topstep, but that has been having problems in volatility and just decided to steer clear of anything Ninjatrader or Tradovate related.
I was totally turned off NT when they couldn't even make my lifetime license work. What a joke. Don't waste your time with these clowns. Get into a real solid trading platform and stay with it. I can honestly say that my Sierra Charts with free order routing thru Teton is rock-solid, fast (lightning fast), beyond beautiful graphics, customizable to the Nth degree, in other words, a real professional grade trading application. And I can depend on it when market volatility is off the charts LOL. Trading is hard enough without having to work around a crappy trading platform.
Yes, me too... I have to say the best period was with NT7... less time spent on "managing" the platform. NT8 always required more work, for one reason or another.
Now this last change looks like a shift in a different direction, which I don't want to follow.
@NinjaTrader
Hi,
1st of all it is refreshing to see Mobile app and ease of trading. Any new software product will need many iterations ( based on user feedback) to be better.. every day. What differs the best product is taking this feedback and how fast is turn around time to implement it.. which i feel NT will do it in next months.
I feel following cld be better..
1.more control on app than on web interface( make changes there then it will appear on mobile else every time u have to ass indicators)
2. As a LT lic user, i would like to see full functionality of Desktop to phone( i guess modern phones can manage load now)
3. User experience could be better but we will get there..it will take time .. but if 6 months down the line we have same challenges then" we have a problem houston!🙂"
