Hey there
With the NT8 beta 9 out and it's code breaking changes Troy's Rancho tools no longer work. Troy is shooting for March 2nd to have them back and with a bunch of new stuff in addition. As soon as they are out I can post a video.

Ok so I just received an email from Troy about 30 min ago and he has an update available. Once I get kids in bed in these next 10 min I will check out the Acme update. And post something.

I wish I really really do.... When Troy's NT8 Beta Acme beta tools first came out I had some minor issues and sent him a video and a screen shot. In the video I made a new chart for him so he could see everything I was doing. In the video I clicked the box for "Tick replay" and Troy emailed back saying, as well as updated his site with the same info he was telling me in the email which was, for his stuff one should not and does not need to check that box it will only make the chart load slower. Basically he codes in a way that is more efficient in getting the tick data as I understand, being the ex Microsoft guy he is and co-owner of software patents as he is he seems to know C# like few others?
I'm going to mess around with it much more today.
Do you or anybody know where NT8 stores the indicator presets one can make per indicator please?
Thx

Blash, besides the tools offered by Troy, what else are you using? I read about the Vol profile from Critical. Have they updated or released anything for NT8?

Hi
Mike from Critical Data Associates, great guy chat on Skype now and again, very open to new good ideas is taking a trading break currently and said would be working on his VolPro indicator for NT8 but gave no timeframe. Best dollar for dollar value for sure. And calling his vol pro tool an indicator borders on blasphemy ...lol... It does so much and it's cache files used to create the profiles are just great, but you don't have to use them you can have it make profiles off incoming tick or minute data too. Only things I would say is the leaning curve is steep and it's not nearly as polished as say Troy's Rancho tools.
Also use Price Squawk market sounds and Graham has a resettable profile on this tool and boy has he put a ton of work into Price Squawk and relatively recently added voices as a sound choice, sounds like the trading pits of old...lol, neoHarmonics tools but only occasional use them for some market geometry type stuff Daniel's volume profile tools IMHO are lacking and only make a profile directly off the charts current bars so for example if you have 30 min or say 60 min bars you are going to get a profile lacking a great deal of granularity. Peter's JigsawTrading tools too. His Auction Vista heatmap and Depth and Sales DOM along with his Reconstructed Tape and Summary Tape are just so Rock and Roll ....no words no words they should have sent a poet....lol
But the tool I love the most hands down is Microsoft Excel with either Troy's market study tools for dumping data into Excel, Rainbow-in.com for dumping the data into Excel or SteamWriter C# code to do the same which I have only done once... https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8bh11f1k.aspx and then pull out market edges/high probability edges related to market generated info not really from lines save for perhaps VWAP which I am toying with to see if there is an edge for me.
How about you?

Currently, not using any of those but I am really impressed by the market insight of guys like FuturesTrader71 and Troy. The way I am currently trading, I feel as if I am sitting out too long and if/when I get stopped out, I have to wait forever for the next setup. Therefore, thinking of incorporating Volume and Market Profile into my trading.
