50 ms price marker Version-specific
NinjaTrader 8.1.7.0 changed the last-price marker update from 250 ms to 50 ms. Its general rendering API documentation still describes a 250 ms ChartControl timer.
The release notes explicitly say the marker change does not change overall chart performance. Neither timer measures feed processing or order execution; Volumetric studies can add workload.

Browser & desktop access=72/5+
1 documented native desktop route earns 2/5 in the browser-first profile. One route for the audited Order Flow+ workflow: Windows Desktop. Separate Web/Mobile offerings do not establish desktop feature parity. This is an access-preference rating, not a usability test or a claim of feature parity.

Funded Free plan: US$0 plan fee. Depth + trading fees extra. Cost rates the reference software licence only: US$0.00/month equivalent over the first year. Separate data, add-ons, tax and trading fees are excluded; plans are not feature-equivalent.
