Slow to Calculate

Hello mlprice12,

Note that this would be running from a single thread as this is a single script, meaning this would run on one processor of a multi-core machine.

If the CPU has 2 logical processors, this thread will max out the processor it is running on at 50%.
If the CPU has 4 logical processors, this thread will max out the processor at 25%.
If the CPU has 8 logical processors, this thread will max out the processor at 13%.

I think I found a bug in my code. If you look at my Print output screen it looks like the code jumps to December 6th 2022 and obviously there is no index for that.
Any idea why my code/chart would think live time is in the future?

Thanks for this info.

Is there a way to get NinjaTrader to run on multiple processors?
I'm not familiar with this function.

Thanks

Hello mlprice12,

Each thread is only able to run on one core (for any application). NinjaTrader spins up many threads. However, each instance of a script is one process and one thread.
