Maybe this can help?
Basically says that you should run it in XP compatibility mode.

Hi Sparrow,

Thanks for the link. I already have uninstalled it and went back to Ensign Software this is the current one that I am using. The playback feature is a bit funny here, it works and then it doesn't. That is why I wanted to try Neoticker, mostly because of the playback feature.

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Simon

Have you tried Ninjatrader for playback? It is basically free for charting, simulation, playback; the actual trading is not free. The recent version 6.5 betas (8) should be more Vista friendly and more stable.

Hi thrunner,

Yes I have installed Ninjatrader used it and after 10 mins it crashed, and just kept on crashing. So I uninstalled it.

I did this two days ago.

So for now I will stick to ensign for the time being.

Thanks for your suggestion thrunner.

Regards

Simon

Sorry to hear that. I have no vested interest in NT, but here are something to try with Windows Vista and NT:
1. Uninstall or disable McAfee 2. disabling Vista's User Account Control http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ighlight=vista

Re: Experience with Neoticker?

I gave Neoticker a serious try for a full month. At the end of it, I was convinced it was not for me. The creators are Chinese, I think, and their understanding of trading appears to be as limited as their understanding of English. The program is designed in a very idiosyncratic way, and does not lend itself to just poking around, trying this and that, until you figure it out. Support is not non-existent, but it is very slow compared to other platforms, and not of very high quality when you do get it. Neoticker is not organized in a way that works for me---for example, I really applaud tradestation's architecture of desktops and workspaces. Neoticker does let you associate charts, but the organization structure is very weak, compared to other platforms. Neoticker does have a feature that some people like, namely the ability to replay an entire day with all charts, time and sales and level II all working together. However, setting up this replay feature took an inordinate amount of time---on several occasions, I waited 45 minutes for the required charts to load. After a while, I realized that this feature just isn't worth the headache. Someone who likes Neoticker said that the learning curve is very steep, but if you persevere, the program has a wealth of options. That does appear to be true--there are lots of charting options, for example, that are not offered anywhere else. For example, in every charting package you can create daily and weekly charts, but only Neoticker allows you to create a chart where every bar represents 2 days or 3 days, or whatever you want. Not exactly sure why you'd need such a chart, but there it is if you want it. For my trial, I used eSignal, and it worked well, after I got the bugs worked out--connecting a charting platform to a data feed always takes a little work, but I heard many times that, while eSig works well with Neoticker, the other datafeed options they offer do not work anywhere near as well. Anyway, there's one person experience with Neoticker.
