Suggestion to help users with Patsystem based accounts

[Jim W.]

These suggestions are from my experiences with NinjaTrader up thru 6.0.1000.4. I have only used Patsystem based account, so some my apply to other accounts as well.


Suggestion 1: When user selects File | Disconnect | Patsystem based account then a message box should be displayed with a warning like "If you disconnect from the Patsystem based account then you must restart NinjaTrader in order to re-connect to a Patsystem based account."

The message box should be displayed with OK and Cancel buttons. Or even better, the NinjaTrader restart requirement should be removed.

. . .

Suggestion 2: When NinjaTrader displays the message box "Failed to verify license. Please try again in a few minues." there should be three button: Retry, Cancel, and "Continue without access to Patsystem based accounts".

Patsystem based account users should not click the OK button to message box "Failed to verify license. Please try again in a few minues." Doing so will not allow Connect to the account.

. . .

Suggestion 3: If Patsystem based accounts are defined but not available, then the Connect list should show them grayed out.

Patsystem based account are currently not shown in the Connection list if the user has clicked the OK button on the message box "Failed to verify license. Please try again in a few minues.". This is very confusing to the user.
