Running multiple strategies (ninja performance)

[michelle99]

Hi there. How do I monitor the "performance health" of Ninja trader so that I can be sure I'm not overloading it with too many strategies running simultaneously?

Windows 7
Ninja Trader 32bit (for e-signal)
Open Workspace 1: has 5 strategies running (same instrument on all 5 charts)
Open Workspace 2: has 8 strategies running (4 different instruments, each having 2 charts)
Obviously performance depends on how intensive/complex the strategies are too..

michellepace, you are correct performance will be largely script dependent, too - considering as well any custom indicators called into the script for calculations.

Our general tips for ensuring optimal performance for the application are found here online, I would suggest a close review - https://www.ninjatrader.com/support/...ance_tips2.htm

It's good practice as well to keep an eye periodically on used resources via the Task Manager - NinjaTrader 7's realtime operations will be done on one core, so you don't want to see this getting maxed out. Our next major update of the platform will allow for more efficient MultiCore use across all areas.
