NinjaTrader 7 Beta

Recommended Posts

Hi, has anyone here had a chance to try out the NT7 beta yet? I've just been chosen to try out the next beta coming in a few weeks and wanted to see if anyone else has had the chance to try and what your thoughts are on it. I've been looking forward to NT7 for quite some time now!

Yes, just recently. I decided not to invest much time in it. The reason being that historical bid and ask data are stored in separate data structures with only 1 second time stamp resolution. This make it impossible to reconstruct historical bid, ask and last data in the same sequence as it occurred real time. It has several other implications for other applications too.

I've been using it for a while now and surprisingly not many problems with it... So far so good not as big of a resource pig... NT for me tho is pretty much just order entry, I use another platform for charting... mainly because of the ZF limitations.

Thanks for the replies. Two of the main features I've been looking forward to is the chart overlay feature and continuous contracts. I've also heard NT7 is much better on chart load time and not a huge resource hog like DaKine said.

 

They just sent me a download link for Beta 10, so it looks like I'll be test driving it tomorrow.

I get the feeling NT7 is going to basically be a disaster...After working on it for so long they should not be at the stage they are at with beta testing. Putting in a new db engine and giving it 1 second time stamps is just mind blowingly stupid.

I think its going to be real hard for NT7 to be much more than 6.5 + new bugs...

I really don't like how they are storing data. I am all for using native file system and simple format files for storage when appropriate. Just did a bit of housekeeping and noticed that NT 7.0 creates thousands (literally) of files for data storage (I only have a few instruments I look at). Not particularly impressed by that. Windows is not great at handling very large quantities of small files. Just backing up and deleting was slightly painful.

Yes I have not been all that impressed yet with the NT 7 Beta. I only use NT7 now for order entry for the most part. Looks like I may start transfering some of my accounts over to a TradeVec platform brokerage (Paul at Vcap Futures.....he helped work on TradeVec feedback while in development). TradeVec is going to eventually have two feed capabilities and also add Cumulative Delta candlesticks so that will be very nice. :)

    • Date: 27th November 2024. S&P500 at its 52nd new peak for 2024; USD Firmer, Kiwi & Yen Up. Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council. Greer was intimately involved in Trump’s first-term trade policy decisions. President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
