Version 26.1.161.0 of the Quagensia® point-and-click strategy builder for NinjaTrader® has been released.
Quagensia N Edition users who use NinjaTrader version 8.1.6.2 or higher can now use the email address of their NinjaTrader account instead of their NinjaTrader Machine IDs for their Quagensia N Edition Runtime license(s).
Using your email address instead of your NinjaTrader Machine IDs has the following two advantages:
- Email-based licensing is less likely to stop working temporarily (until we manually update your license when requested by you) due to your NinjaTrader Machine ID changing after a Windows Update, BIOS update, or hardware change.
- You can switch between your various local physical machines and VPS machines in the cloud without needing our assistance.
Using your email address instead of your NinjaTrader Machine IDs has the following two disadvantages:
- It only works in NinjaTrader version 8.1.6.2 and above.
- The license check is a little slower, which could result in noticeably slower optimizations in the NinjaTrader Strategy Analyzer when optimizing over many combinations of input parameters. For example, in our tests on a high-end machine, optimizing a strategy over 10,000 combinations of input parameters took almost 4 minutes longer when using this licensing type. This optimization speed penalty currently only applies to strategies that use the Control Panels feature, so if you want to run optimizations on many thousands of input parameters, we recommend either 1) not using this slower licensing type, or 2) creating a copy of your strategy in Quagensia N Edition, deleting all Control Panel-related logic (which can be done for most strategies by simply deleting all Button Controls, Text Box Controls, Check Box Controls, and Label Controls from the “Internal Variables” section), and running the optimizations on the copy of your strategy without any Control Panels features in it. (Hint: If the text “VendorLicense” is not in the NinjaScript® strategy code outputted by Quagensia N Edition there will be no speed penalty due to Quagensia N Edition Runtime licensing).
Email-based licensing of the Quagensia N Edition Runtime works automatically during your free trial period. To use this license type after your free trial expires you will need to purchase a Quagensia N Edition subscription and then respond to an email from support@quagensia.com with the exact (case-sensitive) email address of your NinjaTrader account (which might be different than the login credentials you use to log into the NinjaTrader application).
Quagensia N Edition users can choose between either NinjaTrader Machine ID-based licenses or an email-based license (but will be allowed to switch between the two license types a reasonably large number of times during their subscription term as described on the Quagensia N Edition pricing page).
If you are a current Quagensia N Edition user that has upgraded from an older version of Quagensia N Edition and you wish to switch from your current NinjaTrader Machine ID-based licenses to an email-based license, please email support@quagensia.com with your request. Note that NinjaScript strategies that use the “Control Panels” feature generated from older versions of Quagensia N Edition are hard-coded to use NinjaTrader Machine ID-based licenses, so you can only switch to an email-based license if you are able to open the Quagensia N Edition Strategy from which the older version of Quagensia N Edition generated the NinjaScript strategy code and re-generate its NinjaScript strategy code so that your NinjaScript strategy will have the ability to use an email-based license instead of a NinjaTrader Machine ID-based license.
The no-code strategy builder for NinjaTrader from Quagensia is a really good way to quickly build remarkably powerful trading strategies for the NinjaTrader Desktop platform completely without code that you can then backtest, optimize, and trade in live markets with the NinjaTrader Desktop platform.
