seven vs eight?

[Tasuki]

OK, so I just got a fancy new computer with Windows 10, so now I can choose between versions 7 and 8. Big question (for me): which one should I download and use?
How do people like the new version, is it significantly better (or different?) from version 7? I'm familiar with 7, so it's got that going for it.
Any suggestions? advice? warnings? general comments?
Thanks, Tasuki

Hello Tasuki,

Thank you for writing in.

Please note that NinjaTrader 8 is still in a beta state.

The purpose of the open beta is to have our users start testing the platform to in order to solicit feedback in the form of bug reports and constructive criticism. The beta process is a critical step in the software development cycle during which time we jointly work towards improving quality and performance with a goal of reaching a stable product ready for general release.

I would suggest taking a look at the NinjaTrader 8 help guide here for more information about what is expected when using NinjaTrader 8 while it is still in beta: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...n-us/?beta.htm

thanks, Zachary, my bad, I didn't realize Version 8 was still buggy. Do you have an ETA for the final version of version 8?

p.s. Can I have both NT 8 and NT 7 on my computer at the same time? Is there any conflict between them?

Hello Tasuki,

We do not have a final release date for NinjaTrader 8.

You can have both NinjaTrader 8 and 7 on the same computer at the same time.
