backward compatibility of 3rd party indicators?

The same applies - in general they will work, however some indicators will need to be modified. There will be NinjaScript changes in NinjaTrader 8. Specifics are not available yet, but will be later on.

will NT7 indicators work in NT8?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Just wondering, I'm kind of a newbie and have only had NT a few months, and I hardly know anything about programming. Generally speaking, are 3rd party or custom indicators backward compatible with previous versions of NT? Will the custom indi's that I have now work with NT 7?

Good question.

- Indicators developed in NT7 are not intended to work in prior NT versions (there maybe be exceptions to this)
- In general, indicators developed in 6.5 will work in NT7 but there may be exceptions that require minor tweaks
- The one exception to my last point are any indicators/strategies that have been developed using non-supported/non-documented methods/properties/classes. In these cases, it may not work and you would have to go the source developer for a fix.

We will publish specific information on this prior to our beta launch for NT7.
