Load chart faster while using custom templates!

[PWillard]

Hi,
I am using custom templates for my NT8 but the average loading time is about 5 minutes..
Is it possible to make this faster?
I have Windows 10 build 19042 and NT 8.0.24 with an Intel cpu using 20 cores with 32GB Ram and SSD HD.

Hello PWillard,

Thank you for the question.

Please see the following link that provides various tips and information on things you can do to help improve the performance of your platform.

If you have numerous different charts that all have an assortment of 3rd party add-ons applied to them, there is a good chance that it is just taking those indicators that much longer to make the calculations on all of the charts and data they need to and then output the visual results.

To see what (if any) NinjaScript items may be contributing to the symptoms, please open the NinjaScript Utilization Monitor:

• Control Center > New > NinjaScript Output
• Right-click within the NinjaScript output window > Select 'NinjaScript Utilization Monitor...
• This window will begin to populate with NinjaScript items in order of time spent processing
• Let this window populate for 2-5 minutes, if there are any items that are much higher than the others, they are most likely causing the delay.
  • The NinjaScript utilization monitor essentially shows how much time has been spent processing between input and output of data since the window has been open.
  • If upon opening the window, something jumps to the top of the list and almost starts counting in real-time, that is a red flag and you would want to try removing that add-on from the Workspace and see if things speed up

Ultimately, you are always able to test the base NinjaTrader platform and see if it is working as expected by going into Safe Mode.

Safe Mode will prevent NinjaTrader from:

• Loading workspaces.
• Connecting on start-up.
• Loading custom assemblies.
• Getting instrument updates from the server.

To enable safe mode, please use the following steps:

• Exit NinjaTrader.
• Hold the Ctrl (Control) key and double click the NinjaTrader icon.
• Keep the Ctrl (Control) key held down until you see the Control Center.
• You can verify you are in safe mode by going to Help -> About.

Once you have opened the platform in safe mode:

• Reconnect to your Data Provider
• Go to Control Center > Workspaces, and click close on all open Workspaces, now reopen the Workspace in question and see how quickly it loads in without any of the add-ons active.
• If this made a major difference, that will let you know how much the platform is being impacted by the add-ons
• From here you could reopen the platform like normal and begin making changes to the workspace to increase the speed of things.
