Market Analyzer, disable receiving Bid/Ask

[balancenv]

My strategy is based on 5/15/60 min analysis of roughly 300 US stocks.
When putting up three analyzer tables of 100 each, even if I configure the table to have two columns, Last price, and my indicator (running on 5 min bar CLOSE) I still see bid/ask sent from IQFeed (lots of them) and saved to my disk.

Is it possible NOT to receive Bid/Ask since I really don't care about it!
The heavy traffic causes issues extra load and I've see indicator run not at the beginning of every 5 min (delayed up to 30 sec!!). Also it's run on precious RAMDISK so I'll have write codes to regularly purge the tick files.

Hello balancenv,

Real-time data is a stream of ask, bid, and last prices. It is not possible to remove these from the stream or prevent NinjaTrader from receiving them.

However, if you are using a Market Analyzer, you can remove the Ask and Bid rows and prevent these from updating as Market Analyzer Column scripts.

Below is a link to the help guide that details removing an Market Analyzer Column from the window.

Once the rows are removed, ask bid and last prices will continue to update on any trade window, however, this is part of the core of NinjaTrader and uses minimal resources.
