NinjaTrader needs to support IB's data backfill for volume, tick and range charts

[gamevoodoo]

When is NinjaTrader going to support Interactive Brokers' data backfill for range, volume and tick charts?

Ninjatrader is the most powerful and economical charting software out there, how can they not support ib's data backfill? There are ton of ib users out there, the data feed is pratically free, althougth some minor issues with the data's quality, but it's good enough for trading.

I personally love Ninjatrader for all the features it offers, but I do not yet use it for my daily charting need simply because it doesn't support ib backfill.

I might not speak for all ib's clients, but I do know a lot of them using QT as their main charting software now just like I do. In my opinion, if NinjaTrader can support ib's data backfill, it will become better than QT.

I really hope NinjaTrader can support IB data backfill at the next update.

Thank you!
