Zenfire and NT delay

[tinkerz]

Apart from the tips to help performance is there any other way to stop lag if you dont use and tick data for processing.

rather filter the data and select only a time interval and forget the rest to stop processing every incoming tick?

tinkerz, I'm not sure I follow you - what issues are you seeing and which underlying system are you running NT with the ZenFire feed on?

To not call the OnBarUpdate() for each incoming tick, you can set CalculateOnBarClose = true for strategies / indicators on your charts & MA.

I was thinking then its the unfiltered zenfire data, how can i connect to a broker without zenfire, I will use AMP?

looks like selecting another datafeed for placing orders that is filtered, and charting from zenfire for ticks on another PC

for safety and least 1 PC on filtered data, i still want to calculate intra bar

I will check in real time again, it looks like the NT 6.5 is only using 10% of CPU, is this due to internet delay? or is there another setting?

tinkerz, you would need to keep an eye on the resources used spanning a longer time to see what the max load is when a burst of ticks comes in...likely you would need to use a higher performing machine / system here. How do you determine you're getting 'delays'?
