Mike I am watching the webinar now, but just to maybe steal a quick answer out of you rather then waiting to find it in the video ( I am watching it either way) Did Ray mention how compatibility will be using NT7 indicators on NT8?
Also is there any reason NT7 wont be able to be used rather then upgrading if a user chooses to? I remember nt7 being a mandatory upgrade since 6.5 was not compatible with a a newer zen fire api or something last year.
Well I found my answer at the 14 minute mark. Indicators will need to be tweaked most likely and NT7 will be supported for "years to come" :-)
I am excited for NT8, but good to know NT7 will still be able to be used if a user chooses.
There will be some code breaks, but... NT8 is not going to do "less" than NT7 does. If you can do it in version 7, you will very likely be able to do it quicker, faster, better in version 8. Further, NT7 will be supported going forward as well. Good luck.
The code breaks from NT7 -> NT8 will be minimal for basic Indicators, but some of the fancy "Plot Over-ride" approach may experience more issues due to the change in charting technology. The "Initialize()" method has been changed to a different method (more inclusive) so likely all Indicators will require some small tweak. Not sure if they will release a migration tool to make the simple tweaks.

The LinReg indicator does not have much of a performance impact but this example shows how it can be made more efficient.
Calls to the external SUM class eliminated. SUM algorithm moved into this indicator. Beats using a reusable instance of the external …
