I have been Ninjatrader Customer since 2008 and I have had a lifetime License since 2012. I also use various third party software including Nexgen and so many others. I also optimize my Ninjatrader everyday by following the steps mentioned by Mbox Wave here: https://mboxwave.com/ninjatrader-platform-maintenance. The following is my PC Confituration
1) Installed Memory (RAM) = 32 GB
2) Processor Intel (R) Core (TM) i7--3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
3) 4 Cores and 8 Threads
Question for Ninjatrader Platform Support:
Is this computer not good enough? I am considering purchasing a new computer for the sole purpose that my NT does not crash again. In the past, I have seen, my charts take up to 1 hour to load. So I had to not load all of the data and I have to not use all of my 3rd party indicators. But the whole point of having Ninajtrader is so that to use so many 3rd party indicators which is available in NT eco system.
Kindly advise what kind of things I should be looking for when I buy a new computer so that my Ninjatrader does not crash. I was told by one person that no matter how many cores I have, Ninjatrader would only use 1 core. Is this correct? I assumed having 32 GB memory / RAM would be good but even with 32 GB my Ninjatrader constantly keeps on crashing. So is core more important than RAM? If so, if I go and buy a computer with 16 or more cores then would that fix my Ninjatrader crashing problem? Will Ninjatradre use all 16 cores? Is this the solution?
I want to be able to use various third party indicators and not wait for 1 hour for Ninjatrader to load the charts. And I don't want Ninjatrader to keep crashing. Hence I am looking into buying a brand new PC. But I need some suggestions.
For a new PC that can optimize Ninatrader 8 what should be
1) The first priority (cores? threads?)
2) What should be the second priority? RAM?
3) Third priority?
Thanks in advance.
Happy New Year!
