[EDIT: I have NT7 Beta now... see my first look at the Ninjatrader 7 beta]
Ninja just released a list of features for NT7, and you can see the list here. A lot of the features make things more convenient that what we have in 6.5 (like dragging around indicators rather than setting up panel numbers). Some are real time-savers for programmers (like multicolor plots). Others are new capabilities, which are probably what I’m most excited about.
Here are the things I’m looking forward to most:
- No more success in compilation dialog box. Sounds small, but I hate it when that modal box gets buried and freezes up ninja’s other windows.
- Downloadable replay data. We asked for it on the forums and they listened. They did hedge about maybe having to pull the feature, but I really hope this gets in.
- Ability to replay multiple days continuously. Very nice!
- Nested indicators on indicators. I been able to do this on multicharts for a while, and until now it has taken custom programming on ninja. Thank you!
- Point and figure charts. Yes! I wonder if they’ll do stacked one-box reversals, or not?
- They acknowledge that we will still be able to code our own chart types, even though this is not directly supported still.
- Multicolor plots. This has been a real pet peeve when I do colorful ninja indicators.
- Greatly reduced memory footprint.
… but there’s lots more. I think the ninja team has done a great job with this feature set, listening to their users. I’m a proud lifetime license holder of NT, and look forward to getting my hands on the developer release.

Downloadable replay data sounds the best to me, for testing out things when it otherwise would have distracted you during regular trading hours.
