Am a very heavy Tradestation user. However there are few limitations on the TS platform in terms of few things on Order Flow hence all my new stuff is on Ninja.
Have setup Ninja7 and in the process of Ninja8 cut over in next few months. Currently running both and will continue to run both till End of Ninja7.
Must say the response from Ray @NinjaTrader and Support staff of Ninja has been phenomenal for me. I need support if stuff I look into ... does not seem to work. Also troubleshooting and Phone and screen shares has been great with support staff.
Also I think other than platforms/languages such as R-Python & it's likes...there is some very savvy stuff one can do with Ninjatrader and can also duplicate many of the stuff done with R/Python if having a great developer.
Hence writing again on this thread. Have seen Ninjatrader in action and also seen how responsive support can be. Thnx Ninja.
I am looking at the below configuration on an Ultrabook for my Trading with Ninjatrader (With TopStepTrader).
7th Generation Intel Core i3-7100U Processor (2.4GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)
14" Full HD (1920 x 1080) Widescreen LED-backlit Display
4GB DDR4 Onboard Memory, 128GB SSD
Windows 10 Home
Is this enough or should I go for a higher Memory and i5 Processor. This falls into my budget. Currently I work on a desktop with 8GB Ram and 4th Gen i5 Processor.
I can't see Ninjatrader developing anything more than volume at price for NT8. Their bread and butter is driven from third party indicators running on NT8. That would be like cutting your feet off....
By the way, I've been on NT8 exclusively now for about 6 months and loving it. I'm trading 9 markets with about 4 charts for each plus a jigsaw DOM / heatmap for each. Its lapping it up so far.
Not trading lossess... I am referring to LOST TIME in dicking around with NinjaTrader.
I am actively looking for a different platform to make money on.
NinjaTrader 8 is an abject agregious horrific waste of time and will be for years
and now, regretably, as heavily supported as it is... I'm realllllly sick and tired of NT7 as well.
It just takes TOO DAMNED LONG to accomplish the simplest of tasks...
Makes no sense any more.
It is a fragile environment that results in VERY HIGH RISK interactions with large amounts of money.
PERIOD.
PS.. the very notion that this pathetic excuse of a vector based program HAS NO CTRL-Z for undo is BULLSHIT folks.
Cannot believe how Ninja 8 locks up when I ask for more volume data. And I mean locks-up!!! Unfortunately I own two lifetime licenses. Waited so long for N-8 and now I am very disappointed!!!
