Request for NT public or "restricted" beta.

[higler]

There are quite a few of us who have been using NT for a few years, I have been using it for about 3 years, who do not have the privilege of having access to the NT7 beta. I keep reading about new features and also things that will require modifications to my indicators but since I have no access to NT7 then I can't "update" my indicators and in some cases it sounds like I might need to make some substantial changes under NT7. I am beginning to think that this is at least a little unfair to have this double standard that is preventing many of us loyal NT users from being able to update our indicators and prepare for the relase version of NT7. I can understand you not wanting to be swamped with too many NT7 beta support requests, but it would be nice to have access to a beta even under the conditions that we not report bugs or request support. Maybe a "restricted" beta access. It sounds like there are enough changes that there is going to be a learning curve in both using it and rewriting the indicators. Even if I don't have support I'm sure that I could make a lot of progress in learning the new features and migrating my indicators. I don't care if its buggy, I've worked with buggy betas before. I've got a lot of work to do rewriting some indicators when I get my hands on NT7 and it would really help to have access to it sooner rather than later.

Agree with higher, I have a lifetime NT license and have been a NT user for more than 2 years. A friend who requested the beta after me but who's not a paying customer got it but I didn't get anything...

We had put out a couple of announcement where you could apply for the NT7 beta. In case you missed those: please send a mail to "sales AT ninjatrader DOT com" and ask for joining the beta program. Thanks

For 6.5, they did open beta, after it got to near production. I thought they said they would do that with 7. I'm just wondering how close that might be.

There will be a public NT7 beta in a couple of weeks.

Can I have it now? Huh? Can I have it now? Has it been a couple of weeks yet? Huh? Now. Please???

I've just been spending the last few minutes re-reading:

NT7 Features & Development Status

And, damn, if the current version is 6.5, it sounds like you should be calling it version 13 or so. Sounds awesome.

I assume you know I was just having fun. But, I don't think I really want to use it until it is near prime-time. I'll wait until open beta time.
