This is pretty much now totally free MP if you have a compatible Ninja data feed. I'm sure it will get better as its hacked with too.

With release 6.5, they've done pretty well. However, ONE GLARING DEFECT:
no common functions/methods permitted between indicators and strategies....instead, one must maintain 2 COPIES. This is a HUGE software design "no-no".
I really don't understand it....how they "cloned" so much of tradestation's concepts, yet they FAILED in this one important concept.
SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT HERE !

I'm not really sure what you mean? If you create an indicator you can call it directly in a strategy and you can also create your own library of custom functions/methods to call(user defined methods in the indicator lib).
To me its just a matter of time, it seems like anything can be done but its just a matter of waiting for Ninja to impliment it directly if you don'twant to roll your own work around in c sharp. 7.0 is sopposed to be out at the end of the year and sounds amazing, multi instrument stuff for plotting several series on the same chart in the same window, historic bid/ask..Seems like 7.0 is when it should really come of age.

Yes, Indeed. Concidering they only introduced charts in...what was it....version 5? They (charts) are really at version 2.0

Is ninjatrader free?

And does it support data feeds from:

- Open E Cry (OEC)
- Infinity/Transact

Please lemme know.

I think the issue is that the indicator lib and the strategy lib are SEPARATE.
If I write a method/function for an indicator, it must be COPIED to the strategy lib if I need to use it in a strategy.
I've checked with tech support on this and they are aware of it.
Probably will be fixed in 7.0.
In the meantime, it's just an inconvenience.

I really doubt they are going to change this.I really don't see how its less convient and if anything it makes things more modular.
You maintain your indicators and then call them within a strategy..if you figure out down the line a better way to do indicator X, updating every strategy that uses indicator X is nothing more than changing indicator X one time, viola.
There is nothing stopping you from writing everything in strategies though and you would have what you want, but like i said that would seem more of a pain IMO.
