And/or copy & paste it from one window to another too.
I have to agree with the general sentiment in this thread. Relying on the native UI and out-of-the-box Managed strategies in NT8 is a recipe for frustration if you are running serious capital.
@scott_badtke - The discrepancy you are seeing between your backtest and live execution, even on “OnBarClose”, is a classic NT8 matching engine issue. In historical testing, NinjaTrader makes assumptions about intrabar price movement and fill probability. If price touches your limit/stop, the backtester assumes a perfect fill. In live routing, you are subject to the order book queue and slippage. Unless your strategy is specifically coded to use TickReplay and High Fill Resolution to simulate the exact intrabar micro-structure, your backtest will always be a fantasy curve.
Most of the limitations mentioned in this thread (backtest discrepancies, latency, custom lockouts, dynamic UI) are solved by abandoning the retail interface and building Unmanaged C# engines that route directly to the core. That’s how we structure it for prop firms, if anyone is hitting a wall with execution discrepancies and needs a quantitative engineer to audit their code or build a custom unmanaged architecture, shoot me a DM

Since Ninjatrader support has died and Ai is surpassing Ninjatrader, I would like them to make Ninjatrader do simple things like automatically log compiler errors to a file so Ai can fix them. I understand thats too hard for them to do but hopefully in the future they can figure it out since Ninjatrader has been outdated for years.
I would like to have options to choose to see MBO/Rithmic Data
Please speed up the simulated data connection with the trend slider.

I’d like to see sound work.
You’d be better off by vibe coding this yourself at this point.
