That's unfamiliar. Have full name? Or better yet, a link?
FYI, the video is working. I'm just shooting a take 2. It will be up tonight.

An observation. NinjaTrader was a definitely a step in the right direction for strategy development. Far easier environment environment to work in than the C# though COM interface of NeoTicker.
But you had to deal with the issues that EasyLanguage eliminates which convolutes the programming logic for a strategy.
And it afforded the chance to use a debugger to a limited to degree to test out code before running it in NinjaTrader.
In fact, if it weren't for the performance issues of tick data, and the troubles of running it 24/7 as a black box, I would have stuck with it.
From that platform, I went on to create TickZOOM. Everything about it is geared to generate high-productivity.
One feature I never mentioned is that TickZOOM resolves the following problem in debugging a strategy:
PROBLEM: Ordinarily, ifyou debug a C# strategy, the data for High[0] and Low[0] is not a normal array. It's at least a reverse array or a circular array. That means you can't really see the data of the current high or last bars high in the debugger. Making it a royal PAIN to figure out what is going on.
TickZOOM Solution
In TickZOOM a trick is used to fool the debugger when your browsing those classes to make it see a simple array with 0 as the current price, 1 as the last price , etc.
The result along with the other features makes it a dream to debug and "SEE" exactly why your strategy isn't doing what you want it to do.
That strong debug support and the zoom tick speed are probably the 2 most powerful features of TickZOOM.

Got it. Thanks. So you use 2 brokers? Is that simultaneously?
Several have asked about TickZOOM running with 2 brokers as a way of verifying data and also backup in case one goes down.
It doesn't do that -- yet.
Okay the video is uploading to tickzoom.org as I type.
I'll take a few hours this evening and clean up some stuff on the site.
Oh, and put the diagram up of the engine architecture.
Then I'll open the web site up for the public tonight. So check it out some time tomorrow.
The video looks and sounds pretty okay.
Thanks for that recommendation for CamStudio. I'll use it to the full till the 30 expiration anyway.
FYI, most of the work of doing this video demo was adjusting to the software to make it a little more "pretty".
But the work the weekend was a great head start on finishing the "release" packaging. But I've got time off for the holidays to wrap it up and do more documentation.

The website is read except you still can't access it until the adminstrator (emailed the a little bit ago, turns off the login box). I'll post here again as soon as I get confirmation.
But the video is there and the feature list on the home page.
All of this takes extra work the first time to get it setup. After we get it setup and initially documented it will go a lot quickly for updates and enhancements in the future.
Thanks for your patience!

Announcement. The website is up and ready!
You can visit http://www.tickzoom.org to see the TickZOOM Speed Test video that demonstrates how fast it zooms through 10 million ticks with less than 100 megabytes of memory used.
But the site is coming together. I'll post back with any other major updates to the site.
And pippi, there was an illness in the family so I didn't get the documentation up there. How I made progress on it. Look for a lot of documentation later this week.

Quote from janus007:
Wohaaa... You're just amazing, very nice demo.
Congratulations in the fine progress you're doing. I'm looking forward to test it and make my own experience, but it looks very very promising I must tell you
That's very kind of you.
FYI, Part of the work to do is documenting it so you won't be clueless when you download it.
That will save all of us a lot of time and hassle.
But also, documenting it causes me to rename some things to be more intuitive (i.e. self - documenting).
But things look on schedule to get that stuff done by year end.
