delays on market analyser vrs RTD

[Eoghan O Sullivan]

I signed up for real time data with DTN IQ and complied market analyser watchlists but the prices on the more volatile US stocks are delayed.
Does the market analyser create a delay on displaying price data if a list is complied and imported through 'utilities'>'import stock symbol list' vrs manually inputting each symbol thru instrument editor.
thx

Hello Eoghan O Sullivan,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum.

Importing a list of instruments would not result in data delay.

Do you see this same data delay in other windows in NinjaTrader (Charts, SuperDOMs, etc.)?

Thank you Kyle,
No the prices on the charts seem to be ok but a small number of prices on the more volatile stocks in the market analyser were delayed by 3 to 10 points, depending on the stock.

Also, i am using multiple time frames on the charts (Daily, 60min, 15min) and the charts are sluggish to load up once i change symbol, and the message 'can not abort' appears as i wait for the chart to load. Is there anyway of speeding up this process as i scan alot of charts on a daily basis and i day trade, so i need the chart to load as quickly as possible.
Any advice will be grealy appreciated.
Regards
Eoghan

Hi Eoghan,

Thank you for you reply and the clarification.

1.) How many instruments are loaded in the Market Analyzer?
Likewise, how many indicator columns are you running and what are their 'On Bar Close' settings?

2.) This window comes up as NinjaTrader loads historical data from the server. The easiest way to speed up this process is to reduce your 'Days Back' settings in your charts so as to make the request smaller. Aside from this, I have no additional recommendations on speeding up the loading of historical chart data.
