Prebuffering to assist with indicator loading

[WHICKED]

Is this a recommended thing for indicators to help increase stability? If so, does NT allow for prebuffering?

Hello WHICKED,

You can manually download historical data so this is cached and will load on charts faster.

For indicator plot values specifically, they are cached as they are loaded on a chart (or called from another script) and the market data is processed. There isn't a way to manually (or through code) prebuffer indicator plot values.

and as far as prebuffering a DLL that is generated from NT? is there a mechanism that you can prebuffer the contents of the DLL ?

Hello WHICKED,

I'm not sure what you are referring to. Loading historical data is part of the core of NinjaTrader which is not released publicly.
