- Chart lag. Often during fast, high-volatility trading, certain instruments (esp. equity indices) lag significantly, and only catch up once the market settles down. Of all the issues, this is the most egregious. I have tried both CQG and Rithmic: with either feed, this is not an ISP or a data feed problem. It is an NT8 issue which I do not experience in other platforms.
- Excessive CPU usage. NT8 is the worst offender. No others (Sierra Chart, I/RT, ATAS, Jigsaw, MotiveWave) come close to NT8’s normal 25%-35% CPU usage.
- Frozen charts/workspace following Indicator Control Panel interface. Whether or not changes were made, when closing or cancelling the indicator control panel, numerous charts go blank for 5 seconds, and the entire workspace freezes for 20+ seconds.
- Corrupted work-spaces – frequently requires restoring from historical file, or re-creating altogether.
- Excessive load times on startup – sometimes as much as 10-15 minutes.
- Multiple-monitor (esp. 3 graphics card environment) quirks. On certain monitors, normally attached to a third graphics card, some (not all) charts display, but are otherwise unresponsive to inputs and data updates. In other cases, some (not all) charts do not display data initially, but if moved to another monitor/graphics card, and returned to the initial location, they then display data. Some charts work perfectly no matter which monitor/graphics card. This behavior is unpredictable.
