That said - I have never had any issues during a live market and once the platform is up and running everything goes smooth. Man, I'm starting to get worked up now that I start thinking about this. So, I have to solve this by disconnecting/reconnecting or exit/relaunch. The connection is fine, but no data is loaded. Countless people have complained about this, but it's still not fixed.ДЄnother issue I've been having recently is that my charts don't load/refresh when I first connect. Yikes.Д«ut guess what? A user on the NinjaTrader forum fixed this with NinjaScript fairly quickly. So, you basically can't chart a daily chart in NT8 using similar hours as SPX. This worked fine on daily charts on NT7, but no longer works on NT8? WTF? I often use the US Equities RTH session template (09:30-16:00). It works now, but for a long time it didn't.ДЄnother example would be RTH charts. I believe Ninjatrader recommended people to not use it. Never had any issues with it on NT7, but on NT8 the crosshair would LAG and freeze. One example would be the crosshair on your charts. I did however not notice any particular improvements at all. When I got back into the markets a few years ago, NT8 was finally out of beta and allegedly a superior platform, so I didn't even consider NT7. I didn't understand those comments as it worked very fine with me. Never had any issues, but I remember even then - quite a few people were complaining and saying it was an unstable and poor software. More.I first started using NT7 around 2010, I think. It all boils down to your needs I suppose. I've looked briefly into Investor RT and it looks like a really great platform with some nice back-testing/statistical features. Since I'm a long term user and have coded various stuff for NT8 and pretty much know the platform fairly well, I decided I didn't want to learn a new platform or invest in more coding work, so I'm sticking with it for now.Д«ut if I was starting from scratch I would probably consider other platforms.

NinjaTrader also have limitations with regards to which brokerage you can use. Never had any issues with NT7, but have had a few minor issues with NT8 which was supposed to be an improvement and a superior platform. On another forum I know mostly everyone left Ninja in favour of Sierra.

What's your needs beyond an options table? Is it an alternative to keep using Sierra and just get whatever options table seems fine with you?ДЇrom what I'm hearing - Sierra Chart is a superior platform compared with Ninjatrader.
