[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

That is unclear at this time however it is something which development is looking in to.

If other questions come up which I could assist you with please let me know.

Kyle,

Will options be supported in NT 8?

Thanks,

Hello redduke,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, options will be supported with NinjaTrader 8 and they are currently supported with NinjaTrader 7 also.

Below I have provided a link to the Understanding the data provided by your connectivity provider section of our help guide for what providers support options.

Hi Brandon,

Wow. This is news to me. The good ones I have been waiting for this feature for a while, and so did others. According to a table only Clear Corretora feed offers Options?

Is this true? I trade via IB, can I access Options through them?

[NinjaTrader_Brandon]

Hello RedDuke,

Thanks for your reply.

That is correct, at this time only Clear Corretora is able to do options with NinjaTrader. Options with Interactive Broker's is not supported in NinjaTrader 7 however is being taken into consideration in NinjaTrader 8.

Question on Ninja 8 Replay mode

Are there any plans to allow replay in NT8 at a Slower rate than Full speed as well as a Faster Rate. In Fast markets on small compression time frames learning to deal with the speed is a whole learning process. This is where the ability to replay and slow things down to train your mind to be ahead of your Mouse / Dom movements is an advantage.

Thanks

Hello Jerry,

That's an excellent suggestion! I' don't know if it will be added at some point in NT8, but development has the slower replay speed on the list of Feature Requests. It has been issued tracking ID #2485.

I have another question about Plans for NT8 with the charting that I have always found lacking in Previous versions. Will NT8 have a Fixed Scale setting. I am not talking about setting the Top and bottom of the screen to some fixed value and not allowing you to vertical scroll which defeats the purpose. I am referring to setting the #ticksize / display inch So you visually can guage the size of price moves. Is this incorporated in NT8 ?

NT 6.5 from what I remember was better in this perspective. It just appeared better.

Yeah, I never got a tracking # in 2011. Thanks!

Hi Sledge,

Back in 2011 we didn't have a tracking ID # list yet, which is why you didn't receive a number for your request.

Is there a ETA now on Ninjatrader 8?

[NinjaTrader_Brandon]

Hello birdog,

Thanks for your reply.

No, there is no ETA available for NinjaTrader 8.

In NT8 you will change file base structure ? Save tick data every hours in different file's not good idea.

Backup's, arhive or copy XXX000 files not real

Optimal 1 day's tick's, 1 file that 1 minute.

Ps. Or create option fot tick's - file 1 day or 1 hour. For 2000 - 3000 stock's this dramatically

[NinjaTrader_Brandon]

Hello TCust,

Thanks for your reply.

The format in which tick data is not expected to change.
If you are wanting to access and entire day of tick data from a single file you can export the data as so. This can be done currently in NinjaTrader 7 under Tools> Historical Data Manager> Export
Below I have provided a link to the Export section of the help guide.
