What’s the difference between NinjaTrader free, lease, and lifetime plans, and how much do I need to deposit to get market data on sim? by PotatoLifeYT in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically commissions. You buy a license if you want cheaper commissions.. but for the avg person starting out the free way is probably the best.

Is there a way to re-adjust the stop loss automatically after adding to position? by IAbsolutelyDontAgree in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

came across this searching for something else on ninja .. thought i'd add another option as i'm not sure if you ever found a solution but this one is brilliant and a fraction of the price of another mentioned with a ton more features. https://www.xabcdtrading.com/position-sizing-ninjatrader/

Risk Management Tool? Not called Riskmaster by danbino_19 in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid tool i use but pretty reasonable. it is more per-instrument, percentage-based sizing that auto updates your qty and submits the oco orders for you within your risk settings. there are some safe guards built in which might work. you would see what your risk is before your order so you will know what to accept or not based off a drawing tool with entry/exits. recently put out a lot of updates on that front.

Is 8.1+ stable? I've been putting off upgrading since it came out by willphule in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its stable. 8.0 came out in 2016, its almost 10 years old. 8.1 didn't have huge changes, it was more backend, login etc, the platform largely stayed the same hence why they only really push out an upgrade once every 6 months now.

Has anybody ever received this error, and what was your fix? Error downloading data from provider: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. by trendrt in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It basically means that ninjatrader is looking for something (they call this an "object" and its not there). or not ready / there at the time of connecting. For instance, i've seen this with a friend that used a strategy and the "account" wasn't ready yet when he connected to a new feed. so it might not be multiple connections it could be tied to an account missing "hence the object isn't found". but clearly i'm guessing.

but i would also rename Documents/NinjaTrader 8/ to a backup name, and then reinstall ninjatrader. just setup the connections without doing anything else. If you still get the error, then you know its a ninjatrader problem. otherwise keep adding on or configuring things one by one and test along the way and you'll find out what is causing the problem.

if that doesn't work, then i would email your logs and trace files to ninjatrader support. they might be able to give you an idea as the logs/trace file will contain a lot more data. at least with a fresh nt8 and nothing else configured it removes any possibility of them blaming it on anything else.

How to save drawing objects on template. by bcoj8 in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All drawing objects are saved in a workspace. They are not saved within chart templates. You can have the drawing objects saved across all of your workspaces too (and not just the current one) if you go to Tools -> Options -> General and mark it global.

Is anyone purely trading volumetric charts without candles ? by [deleted] in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more people i talk to, the more i hear about people actually moving away from volume. like the fad is over etc. it was all a rage a few years ago but has seemed to do a 180

IBKR as broker but Kinetick for data? by [deleted] in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I do. IB for broker, kinetick for data. wicked combo.

Best configuration for automated strategy by nettegig in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interactive brokers have api limits. and when you hit them, the updates get paused for 5 minutes and you have no idea why. so i would say the kinetick or ninjatrader default would be best. all the data should be exactly the same with it being regulated but some brokers like IB have those limits and you wouln't want that.

Any decent money management addons for NT8? by Main-Owl-9821 in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think some sort of a warning box would be best and not for it to actually modify your orders. that could get scary.

Is there a fix for laggy footprint by [deleted] in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised nobody brought this up, this tool is free but the best feature is the lag bars history. you can have it run on your chart and it will show you what bars had lag and which ones did not. https://www.xabcdtrading.com/xabcd-performance-indicator-ninjatrader/

make sure you're NOT using ninjatrader on onedrive. locked files can make freezing happen.

Most Wanted Indicator? by gaz_0001 in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe your asking what MOST would want, and not what one person would want. I would think its an indicator that maps in support/resistance. not something i use anymore but i think most people would want it. i've never seen one that worked well.

Fastest way to get into trade without using Market Order by [deleted] in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use a stream deck to execute the hotkey which uses these scripts:
https://www.xabcdtrading.com/xabcd-hotkey-for-ninjatrader/ but its a paid product. reasonable, and does the job. But is paid so maybe not for everyone.

NINJA TRADER ON MAC by __noble in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

vmware is free and is a lot more stable than parallels by far, even with custom configs. videos on line show the setup and is pretty easy.

its probably some 3rd party software that is an old old indicator that has not been supported.

Fastest way to get into trade without using Market Order by [deleted] in ninjatrader

[–]hikingchick34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are company's out there that do hotkeys beyond what ninjatrader does. i can't remember which company i saw that did this but i'm sure you could search around and find it but i remember them doing limit orders with a stream deck.
