    Is anyone using NinjaTrader to auto-trade positions held overnight? If so, which broker are you using and how are you handling server resets?

    I need the following from the broker:
    1) Ability to trade and cross-margin both futures and equities, and possibly spot FX.

    2) Ability to use NinjaTrader and hold positions overnight w/o having to shutdown and restart NT if a position is held overnight.

    3) I think MBTrading sounds promising but it's not clear to me exactly how server resets or dropped server connections are handled. Anyone w/experience with MBTrading or Interactive Brokers regarding these issues?

    ============
    I'm using Velocity currently for futures only and Ninja and TT are a miserable pair when it comes to positions held overnight. With NT and TT, if a position is held overnight NT position mgmt stops working properly and this can only be fixed by a reset on the broker's server and a shutdown/restart of NT on the client side.

    Thanks in advance for your help.
