Although the agreement wasn't titled as an NDA, I interpreted pretty much as one. For those not in the beta , I'm afraid you aren't going to get much info from those that have it.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

Oh well. It was worth a shot while I twiddle my thumbs and wait longer to get my hands on the new release.

Aside from idle curiosity, I'm in no hurry to move to NT8. Let others have all the (inevitable) problems for you.

Thanks to NT for opening the NT8 Beta forum to the public. I am impressed by their candor and confidence in doing this. There doesn't seem to be any show stoppers.
After voicing some earlier criticisms of NT7, I might end up being a big advocate of the NT8 platform. (Never had an issue with support, which is par excellence.
Keep up the good work and good luck on the mass release.

Does anyone know if they added per symbol chart settings? My execution monitor has four linked charts for the same symbol, and I want to select a different symbol to trade on these charts, but some of the bar and indicator settings need to be different for each symbol. For example, I need different size renko bars and zigzag values for different futures contracts .
