NT 18 is all messed up. Finally got connected to ZenFire after many attempts, but none of my workspaces or templates will load orrectly, just a simple chart and no indicator will plot.
I just checked NT forum, its flooded with connectivity related posts and so far NT has not provided one single straight answer. Version 18 is a quick dirty piece of whatever it is to accommodate ZenFire and Mirus at the expense of strangling all NT users and corrupting their systems.
Anyone has problem with loading templates?
Alligator, try recompiling your indicators to see if they come back.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

With this debacle and the recent discrepancies in my account, with absolutely no communication from Mirus, I am strongly considering switching brokers. I understand that problems happen, but to leave your clients out in the cold without information is unacceptable. Can anyone recommend a better broker that supports Ninja without zen-fire?
at this point, perhaps leaving the Zen stupidity altogether in favor of a TT feed, which is one of the cadillacs of the industry, right up there next to the expensive CQG might be warranted

I am sticking with Sierra regardless... going to give Mirus a few days to sort themselves out. Meanwhile broker/data shopping.
At least it is a holiday week.

Agreed that it's a holiday week but in terms of opportunity cost this has cost me some money. I had a long term view of Gold coming off, which I wanted to short last night on the open, and it has come off $13.00. The action in Gold this morning has been significant and I feel I could have taken profit. Trading is about making yourself available to participate in the market and then taking opportunity as it presents itself. Some days are better than others. Last week was difficult due to the holidays, today, however, there has been considerable action.

I made a trade today, which turned out to become quite a roller-coaster
I entered my order (using chart trader)
the order was executed, but the stop loss rejected (10
points ) and the profit target accepted at 13794 without decimal
While i was analysing and looking at what happened, Zenn went down,
I was left exposed in the market 10
contracts 6E long with no stop loss and no connectivity...
I called mirus, the help desk told me they were working on it
I quit/re-start
ninjatrader several times
was thinking for a plan B
and finally the connection came back and i closed my position with profit
end of year
still the bug on the
ATM orders is there, development looking into that
guess/hope version 19 will be there in the next couple days

What kind of compensation did you have in mind? Isn't it hard to quantify?
