NT7 to NT8 Upgrade - Advantages vs. Disadvantages

TrendTraderBH · 2023-03-29T15:15:22-04:00

I've been reading the other NT8 threads and the many issues causing problems there. Have to say that I'm really starting to love NT7 for its stability. Obviously, it has some drawbacks and NT has stopped providing some services (for example, all the new micros are not available to trade with NT7 because NT refuses to update the data for them for NT7). However, the basic symbols data are still working (MES, MNQ, M2K, MYM, MGC, M6E). Here are the last times I interacted with NT platform support: December 2022 - minor issue August 2022 - my fault - failure to update to new version Yes NT7 is somewhat limiting - but its stable and not experiencing any of the issues I see with NT8 new version. Using CQG data.
