Wanted to post my initial thoughts and suggestions.
Firstly this is an excellent product, the functionality which I wished Ninjatrader 7 had has been incorporated and is a huge upgrade.
- Through using WPF NT8 works perfectly on QHD laptops (Lenovo Yoga Pro 2) where many other trading programs were unusable due to lack of scaling.
- The fact that we can download historical data from other data providers for playback is a big win.
- The ability to select different data feeds for instrument types is great (i.e. IQ for equities and IB for forex).
- The visual design of the program is also improved, whilst functionally this doesn't have a huge effect it's always nice to work with a well-designed GUI.
- Instrument lists being downloaded from the Ninjatrader server; this saves a lot of hassle!
- I could go on....
Suggestions:
- Copy and paste into market analyzer, I have an external program which screens equities and it would be useful to paste these into a market analyzer window so I can link it to a chart and cycle through (maybe there's a way around this but I haven't found it? Also considered creating a add on to read from a text file).
- You have to specify the historical data range to download on a chart, if when scrolling left NT8 automatically downloaded additional historical data it would be more seamless.
Thanks!
