Hope this finds you all safe, healthy n happy over these interesting times. I am wondering given NT 8's design is it better from a CPU and Memory point of view to run say
- Run 8 x NT indicators across 6 Instruments and across 6 time frames, see details below, or
- Create my own indicator that combines the 8 NT indicators into 1 self-created ninja script indicator across the same set of charts?
My thought process is questioning how the charts, indicators and tabs are implemented at low level and run at a Windows internals memory and cpu level
As background. I have NT 8 on a Windows 10 fully patched with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.41 and 32 GB of Memory. I code NT Script, have tuned my desktop to use 28 GB of the memory (leaving 4 GB free for surprises) and tuned my charts, indicators and strategies to use the minimum amount of data necessary and other performance tuning to improve performance. I have 4 screens and run charts for ES, NQ, YM, RTY, SPI, FDAX over the periods created as tabs Week, Hour, 4Hour , Hour, plus 3 more. I use the following indicators Swing, 3 * SMA, ATR, Bar Timer, Net Change and PriceLine
Plus I am a happy fat old bald bloke who respects everyone.
