Slow chart loading speed

[Island_Boy_Trading]

Hi,

I am monitoring my upload speed of charts and it is much slower than the internet upload speed. See screenshot of resource manager for NT8 whilst historical data is being requested from IBKR TWS platform. I understand this is "Throttelling" by the Internet Service Provider. Is there any way I can alter this to improve chart loading speed? I have the correct build for TWS and NT8 to run at their optimum.

Thanks,
Ed.

Hello Island_Boy_Trading,

There are no settings within NinjaTrader to speed up the data data request made to the Interactive Broker's historical data servers. To request less data and reduce your load times right click in your chart(s)->Data Series->Input a lower value for "Days to load" then click ok.

I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over performance tips:

Let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hi Christopher,

Thanks. I am trying to load a lot of days for backtesting. I will have to be patient!
