Hi all, this is a question specifically for those who use Ninjatrader:
I am currently using NT 7 and I want to improve performance / speed / responsiveness. I have a number of charts open at one time (viewing different timeframes at once) and a number of indicators interpreting data. I find NT's performance to be "ok", but sometimes sluggish. This is particularly true at the time when I first open NT and it's loading up all those multiple charts; and also when I start a market replay session. It's also sluggish when I have multiple workspaces open at the same time, and the problem is compounded by the number of days' worth of data I load. I know the more charts I have open and so forth, the more it taxes my computer's resources. I want to upgrade my system to improve this. Here is my current system:
-i7 920 quad core @ 2.66 Ghz
-9 GB RAM
-SSD hard drive
-Radeon 4670 video card
My question is: if I upgrade my hardware, will it result in a performance improvement in NT? If so, what should I upgrade? Based on my research, I see mixed responses on this question with some people claiming virtually NO improvement can be had by using hardware faster than what I've got - but I find that hard to believe?!?
Thanks for your help.
