Linux for NT?

[Tasuki]

After all the problems that users report with Windows 10 (invasion-of-privacy spying is the worst criticism, but serious issues with DLLs are also a major complaint), I got to wondering whether Ninjatrader is available for Linux. Seems like most trading systems are Microsoft-dependent. Is there a version of NT for Linux, or will there ever be?
Thanks, Tasuki

p.s. side issue: with Windows 10 and all that data that the operating system sends back to Microsoft servers---doesn't that slow down the performance of your computer? I'm not trading live (yet) with a Windows 10 computer, but I will very shortly when my new computer arrives, so this is a timely issue for me.

Tasuki,

NinjaTrader is a windows application which relies on the .NET Framework to operate and the .NET Framework is only available on Windows Operating System. Below you will find the supported minimum PC requirements for NinjaTrader.

Minimum PC Requirements:

• Windows XP (SP3 Required), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows 2003 Operating System
• Minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768
• Minimum P4 Processor or higher (or equivalent)
• 2GB RAM
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (pre-installed on most PC's or can be downloaded below)

We do not officially support running NinjaTrader on Linux or on Mac. However, you may be able to use virtualization software such as VirtualBox to run NinjaTrader in windows in a virtual machine running within linux.


I am not knowledgeable about what data is transmitted from Microsoft Windows to their own servers. I would recommend that you reach out to Microsoft about what information they are collecting and the amount of data being sent to their servers.

I use spybot on my win 10 machine. Watch barnacules video in the link.

The new windows defender "feature" appears to be excessive.
