I turned N-8 off and used my TOS account. So frustrated with the lock-ups I was experiencing. Last night after market close, I looked deeper into exactly what indicators I was employing. Now I wonder IF it was a custom indicator I was using that was throwing off the platform. Will investigate and get back to the thread.
The lock-up issue was solved - it was not a problem of Ninja 8. It was definitely a problem with a new indicator I purchased. Without that particular indie on my charts all flows smoothly!!!
In my 10 years as a series 7 broker and now trading for ten years for my own account, I've experienced no service like the Ninja professionals. Simply put: They deliver first class help when I am in need and their response time is almost instant.
For software, difficult to compare software like Trade The Plan. I have found no volume indicator like the various that TTP offers for both minute and ticks charts. I especially like trading the "Narrow Range, Churn, and Extreme" bars along with the very effective messages I can setup for cell and email notices.
And other indicators -- some custom made and some bought...
I also use Jigsaw -- but I use Jigsaw Daytrdr Platform DOM which is great also...
