Bugs

Sim101 is showing -$66 yet the trade is a ym emini which only moves in increments of $5???
Every time I change time frame say from 10 minutes to 15 minutes on YM it pops up the "this request can not be aborted box" yet it doesn't on other instruments such as Euro currency future.
Can you please remove the popup box for data loading and put something else it really renders the platform useless.
That data loading box is probably the worst part about NT and is why I haven't paid for a license.
I will not pay for a license to use the full features until these bugs are removed.
Also when minimizing the charts, to the task bar, when I click them to maximize them most of the time I have to right click and press restore.
Yet sometimes I can just click and it maximizes.

Thanks for your feedback.

The RealizedPnL in your Sim101 may not only result from the YM and/or commissions could play a role. You could try resetting your sim account by Tools->Options->Simulator->Reset and giving it a fresh start.

Well there is no commissions on sim101 that I can find and besides its like -$1 its weird.
Its not the PL for all its just for that trade.When I put it on % or points its normal.Its like its taking $1 of pretend money off me and I ant find out why.
Although its only a sim account, it is very important feature to NT.
Because in testing systems you want to be able to have records.
And if the sim account wont keep accurate records then its useless.

Sim account is accurate.

Try this:
- Tools->Options->General: Uncheck "apply commisions..."
- Tools->Options->Simulator->Reset
- connect to simulated data feed
- place one trade (buy and sell) on YM
- Account performance tab->run a report to see how entry/exit price of your trade match the PnL reported for that trade

Yeah I see thanks for that I see what you mean the report generation is highly accurate and advanced.
Still it didn't have commissions applied and kept minusing that $1.
Perhaps it had something to do with license credits or something?
To show in sim what it would be like if you paid as you went to use the full version?
Isn't doing it now though.
Still got this bad com interface issue thing though with windows xp prop and minimizing and maximizing chart windows.
It doesn't seem to do it on vista though.
With all the same parameters on my other pc with vista it doesn't do it.
Same firewall graphics card screen etc.
Its a graphics issue (nvidia) or some kind of firewall issue im sure where its blocking some com interface script (dll) and affecting the one click maximize from the taskbar.
