Quote from Stok:

Thanks. And, what is the difference between the Dynamic and Static DOM's anyways?

A patent.

That is the joke in it.

Add to that that I seriously prefer dynamic super dom anyway

Heck

Need to talk to Mirus once.... my.... new robots go online

Quote from NetTecture:

Maybe you just try to get over your paranoia?

Seriously.

Edges are cheap - using them proper is the problem

I expected the paranoia comment, it comes every time I discuss security... if you are thorough with security you're thorough, you think it all the way through......

Good fences make for good neighbors...

Quote from NinjaTrader_Ray:

NinjaTrader traces communications from the IB API to a file that sits on your local PC. This information can be used by NT support staff to resolve customer issues. This information can include account balance if you trade through IB. This information is ONLY sent to NinjaTrader if the user chooses to send us their trace files either voluntarily or at our request else, we never see this information. Although we have had cases where account balance has helped us resolve issues, I can understand the sensitivity of this information and thus have decided to exclude this data from the trace files on our next update. Thanks for sharing your concerns.

Thank you for listening the market

Quote from NinjaTrader_Ray:

In short:

- As a NinjaTrader user you have the option to use our "Static" SuperDOM which is under license from Trading Technologies
- This version of the SuperDOM incurs a transaction cost - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/trading_technologies_settlement.htm
- If your FCM does not provide the option to collect these fees for you, then you must pay for these transaction fees in advance by purchasing transaction credits from us here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/subscribe_transaction_credits.htm
- ONLY in this scenario is it required to capture your trade data so we can accurately deduct your transaction fees from your account with us and report to Trading Technologies

Thanks for your answer. It makes sense.
The intent of 10(g) would be much clearer if instead of it reading "some configurations" it just stated directly the one circumstance when it applies.
And, to ease the minds of us "parinoids" further say NT will treat user data as "private" and not capture or save w/o explicit concent."

Thanks

Does Mirus include all of their fees in their r/t commission structure? Do you pay additional fees for front end software (Ninja) or anything else?

It would be nice if someone from Mirus would answer the phone

Thanks ahead of time for your responses.

"Does Mirus include all of their fees in their r/t commission structure? "

Yes

"Do you pay additional fees for front end software (Ninja)?"

Yes, but limited free version is available

"or anything else? "

No

"It would be nice if someone from Mirus would answer the phone "

The first time I contacted them with similar questions, I heard back directly from the owner, Pat. I think they've grown a lot since then though.

I should be able to start trading with ver 7 of NT in a few weeks as soon as my new laptop with Windows 7 pro arrives.

The only thing I don't like about NT on my home computer is that I have to keep it on for my strategies to work, so overnight trading is not something I can do and have a stop.

It would be nice if some strategies could be run on a trusted Internet server that I could trust would not broadcast my positions to someone else who my steal my code or piggy back on my trades.

I'd be more worried about Ninja stealing our leprechauns or unicorns than our winning strategies.

Why not install Ninjatrader on a VPS? That's what I do for my strategies.
