Starting up NinjaTrader Desktop 8.1 without typing username and password every time

[eDanny]

Nothing like clicking the NT8 icon, walking away to the kitchen/bathroom/wherever, coming back to find the login staring at me. I do it all the time.

I can kinda understand typing the password everytime, but not the inability to launch NT without an internet connection or when the login servers are down. That's why I won't update. QuantKey_Bruce has a good point here.

The password they are checking against is on THEIR server, so if the internet is down, or their server is down, that's the end of that. It is important for the trader to be able to check the box to say "remember me and keep me signed in" for this and many other reasons.

Yeah, that functionality has been here forever. I remember developing scripts in NT8 for 6 months without an internet connection.

Adding my 2c here. I dont allow 3rd party cookies and have browser addons and utilities that clear cookies and data when the browser is closed as well as when I start/reboot my laptop (which is everyday). On keying in the user id and password, NT displays a message that it doesnt recognize this device, and that I have 2 factor authentication turned on. So, I have to log back into my email account and authorize the same laptop EVERY single day!. I downgraded and went back to the older version. While a script may help a lot of user stay signed in and avoid the login issues. It wouldn't help people like me.Just sayin.. Terrible design decision by Ninja Trader. Ninja Trader must make this an optional feature for those users who need "extra security"..

I am sharing a working AutoHotKey v1.1.37.01 script for automating the NinjaTrader login process.
