in case you thought Ninja Trader won't run on W2K SP4 I'd installed NT's demo a couple of weeks ago without problems then uninstalled it Wed I had to do an hd format then installed the NJ demo via: http://www.mirusfutures.com/onlinefuturestrading_demoaccount.htm this time NJ wouldn't install - 4 error messages and contacting Support it was suggested I install 'MS Jet Database engine' which I did but no improvement; Support also said the minimum OS is XP - I didn't know, but the first error msg stated 'Microsoft Data Access Components MDAC v 2.6' were missing so I installed them and voila â NJ installed and all appears to be working correctly, realtime feed verified with alternate, order entry ok tho it's within the computer I do not know of course if there may be conflicts somewhere else with this NJ-W2K combination, won't be using many of the order entry functions - just the B/S/C, not going live for a few weeks but if anyone is/has used this combo please advise particularly if there's been any problems
Well done. I've always been a fan of lean, mean W2k for trading applications. XP is a terrible O/S for trading unless you've got the latest hardware. Even then, W2k is comparable in efficiency even with a 3 year old processor. Next up: XP with SP3. It "may" improve things a bit....we'll see.
