If I join the closed beta program will I have usable software (albeit pre-release), or will I just be one more external tester of software that is not yet ready for me to really use?
What I am hoping for is:
- Able to understand the NT8 indicator architecture, and how it has fixed the shortcomings in the NT7 Indicator architecture
- Able to port my NT7 custom indicators over to NT8
- Able to easily handle custom indicators I have downloaded for NT7. My first choice would be to download NT8 versions of them, but I'll settle for it being easy to port them myself.
- Once I have ported any indicators I care about I will no longer need any NT7 charting
- I expect to run into some implementation bugs, and possibly even some design bugs, but I hope not enough to cost me a great deal of time.
Just how good in NT8 beta software? Are my hopes realistic yet? How many of the indicators that were freely downloadable for NT7 are already downloadable for NT8?
(Added later: I am also very interested in Market Analyzer, so any comments on that aspect of NT8 are welcome.)
I understand one of the goals in NT8 is tighter integration with Visual Studio, including the ability to edit code in Visual Studio. Is that there in the beta software yet? (I am running the newly-released Visual Studio Community 2015, if the version matters.)
I presume that the beta is compatible with Windows 10. Is that true?
Any other things I should know before getting into this? Good news? Bad news?
Thanks,
EV
