Performance tips: restart Ninjatrader Daily ?

[pstrusi]

If I only used to work live with an Algo, would this be still a valid suggestion? I imagine it might be reasonable for heavy simulations and test. NT-7 never had required this.

I'm about to make the transition to NT8, honestly cause NT7 has an old IB-API, otherwise, I'd stick more time to it.

Hello,
Thank you got your post.

First, I highly recommend going through our Performance Tips, which outline all the best methods for reliable performance from NinjaTrader on any computer.

Be sure to install all available updates for your PC from the Windows Settings > Update and Security page as well. Manually check for updates here, and reboot your PC after any are installed.
If you are using any 3rd-party add-ons, please keep in mind that we do not control how well they will perform and that the more you ask of NinjaTrader to load on your charts, the more it pushes your PC which may result in freezing or lagging behavior.

You may also clear old historical and cache data by doing the following:

• Shut down NinjaTrader
• Go to the 'Documents/NinjaTrader 8/db' folder on your computer
• Remove the files within the 'cache', 'day', 'minute', and 'tick' folders
• Important: Do not remove any other files within the NinjaTrader 8 Documents folder

When you restart NinjaTrader, you may notice a slightly longer initial load time as all historical data on your charts is re-downloaded, but your overall performance should be better.
