NT Real-Time Performance and Maximum Symbols

[Sorcerysoft]

Is there some limitation as to how many symbols can be monitored / processed for an Automated Trading Strategy?

Or at what point do any of you notice some performance degradation in respect to the amount of symbols your monitoring?

For example, in my case, I would like to monitor the S&P 500 using a real-time ATS strategy. I'm interest in doing this using a 1 minute bar frequency and using TD Ameritrade as my data provider / broker.

I understand this is relative and depends on CPU, memory etc... I wanted to get some feedback from those who have more experience with NT.

Thanks,
Christopher

Hi Sorcerysoft, thanks for the post - you are right, this will mostly depend on the individual environment in which NinjaTrader is run, but there's no general limit we set as applications and strategies vary strongly. You want to make sure you are on a up to date system with strong specs for this.
