In today’s video, I go over what components inside your machine can impact the load times of charts. I get pretty technical, but try to keep it simple, so everyone can understand the major points.
Too Long, Didn’t Watch:
- RAM = How many charts you can have open.
- Minimum suggested = 8 GB
- CPU = How quickly your machine can run algorithms.
- Minimum suggested = Pretty much anything produced within the last 5 years, unless it’s a laptop, (laptop cpu’s are built for efficiency and battery life, not heavy computing.)
- HDD = How fast NinjaTrader launches & minor impacts to everything else
- Just have one. Doesn’t really matter.
- Network Bandwidth = How quickly you download data from data providers.
- Minimum suggested = 30 Mbps or about 3 MBps
- Our download speed from data providers seems to be throttled to about 1.5 Mbps
