I just want it to finally work.
I’m tired of all the bugs!!!
I want them to convert to C++ in NinjaTrader 9

This one is the best added tool in NT8 for the last years:
https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/ninjascript-file-sharing/user-app-submission/1343086-position-tracker-by-ntl
No need anymore to have a sheet in Excel to track your positions and update it manually.
You see your positions in real time in points and $$$.
Thanks for that!

No, that would be a disaster. All traders that use C# would have to reprogram their entire list of indicators. C# works perfect, so why change it. We already had the nightmare of the switch from NT7 to NT8.

I also had that same frustration of endless waiting for the Schwab connection. But if you switched to TOS, why are you still on this forum? You no longer use NT8, so what is the use of still posting here?
The most important feature that they could implement is to once again have trained tech support in the online forum. Their AI assistance is useless. The support was the heart of NinjaTrader–they ripped it out. If I hadn’t invested so much time writing NT indicators, addons, and drawing tools, I would be out of here.
Best thing everybody can do is to write reviews on the reputation platforms. If enough of us do, maybe it will hit their wallets sufficiently to give us the support that they promised when we purchased lifetime licenses.

So we should all still be driving horse and cart?
Evolve or die and the great thing about NT is that it is extremely programmable. But it’s in the wrong language IMHO.
I for one would NOT like to have to reprogramme all my indicators and stuff but C++ is def the language for performance.
Not all people who use NT8 have an IT formation. I for instance cannot program in any language. It took me blood sweat and tears to program my own indicators. I could program the mathematical part as I programmed decades ago in Cobol and Pascal.
But the difficult part for me is:
- Region Using declarations
- region variables
- public partial class indicator
- etc…
In short :75% of all the code was pure Chinese for me.
So I will still be driving horse and cart.
I don’t need C++ as the performance of my code combined with very performing hardware is sufficient.

I hope they convert it to an Electron-based app with JavaScript. 
Hi
There’s a fundamental issue here: entry on the bar’s close is actually not possible. You receive the signal exactly at the bar’s close, but the actual entry can only happen at least a few ticks into the next bar’s open. As a result, the signal and the execution do not coincide, which inevitably leads to distorted backtest results.
Have you find a software that has extremely accurate backtesting results yet? Let me know if you do, because I’ve created 100% backtesting winning strategies on NinjaTrader before. 
When I started with NT I had never programmed in my life. I learnt though the forums and the brilliant support staff at NT. Nonetheless. If you don’t move forward. You die.
Not being able to program is not equal to not moving forward. My preferences are elsewhere. I use now AI to program new indicators. I only have to make small corrections afterwards, mainly mathematical parts of the indicator.
I studied behavioral finance and advanced math.
I speak four language fluently, have an MBA in finance and am also active in treasury management.
I am more energetic and active than most people 20 years younger than me.
I will surely die one day, just like everybody else. That’s the only certainty in live. And you cannot escape it. Not even by learning a new programming language.
A simple alert. Right-click, add alert. mind blowing that the alert system is so complicated

If this exists and someone can point me to it, I’d appreciate it. But I would like the ability to bulk add a strategy to the Control Center Strategies tab by using a range of “parameters”. Much like how the Strategy Analyzer Optimization works where a range can be defined such as “1;10;1”. So using this range example, I could bulk add a strategy 10 times with each new instance incrementing a parameter by 1. Currently, to test 10 different parameter variations of the same strategy, I have to copy the strategy 10 times then individually edit each strategy.
Edit: After more thought, I realize how quickly using a range of parameters could create an unreasonable amount of strategies to work with. So actually, it would be more effective if I could bulk add the same strategy with different “Trading Hours”.
works great here.. download your copy today..
Maybe you don’t understand things like ranges, trends, or just never seen money before.
Its not a personal dig Marcus! Just my opinion. I have been using NT for 14 years and I came across some old code on a disused hard drive a while back and realised how far I had moved forward. One thing I would say - I use ChatGPT 5 to help me code now - it gets a lot wrong and I constantly have to tell it where to go ie it takes a scenic route when sometimes a single line , the highway, will do the job. and sometimes ( 15%?) it’s just plain wrong.
Be careful as it quite often leads to bloated code.
On the what would you like to see… more detailed error messages would be good. Like what indicator name is throwing the error and what line of code.

For me the most efficient way is to take an existing, working indicator, and replace the most important part by the code that I wrote myself (mathematical part with if then else , looping…) . Never a lot of errors. And the errors are always in the part that I wrote/added.
If I have an indicator that creates only one line on a chart, I use an existing indicator that creates one line. If I need 2 I take a 2 lines indicator, etc…
I would like Labeled Arrows,lines etc to be made global
