What does this mean?

Hello Mindset,

Thank you for your message.

Unless your PC has actually run out of space, this usually means your Workspace is using up too many resources.

Please see this article from our Knowledge base to find out more about this error:

(I would recommend you bookmark this site to have a resource the next time you get a platform error such as this)

Also I would advise you to please check the amount of storage available on your PC.
To do this:

1. Select the Start button, and then select Settings .
2. Select System > Storage.

How much space is left on your PC? Does the issue persist if you take steps to free up space on your PC?

I've provided a publicly available link explaining how to free up space with Windows below:

You would most likely benefit from reducing your workspace .

I recommend you review our Performance Tips, which outline all the best methods for reliable NinjaTrader performance on any machine.

Thanks Erick.
I am trying to isolate the issue - I think it's with one of my scripts.
However I had never had that error message before so thought I would ask - useful help files there so thank you.

Hello Mindset ,

Thank you for your post.

Of course! To help you further isolate the issue here are more tips:

Some of the most common performance/resource problems I have seen are related to having too many days loading on your charts; you can check the number of days to load with these steps:

- Right-click on a chart and select Data Series.

- In the "Time Frame" section reduce the number of days to load.

- Click OK to save changes and test.



Another item that can overload your system is the method of calculating the indicators on your charts. Follow these steps to review/adjust the settings:

- Right-click on a chart and select Indicators.

- For each "configured" indicator in the lower left list, check the "Calculation" property on the right. Unless an indicator requires "On every tick", try changing to "On price change" or "On bar close", as these calculations consume fewer resources than "On every tick".

- Click OK to save the changes.





*You can also check which scripts are using the most resources by using the "NinjaScript Utilization Monitor".

Control Center > New > NinjaScript Output

Right-click inside the NinjaScript Output window > Select 'NinjaScript Utilization Monitor...'.

This window will begin to populate with NinjaScript items in order of processing time.

Let this window populate for at least a few minutes. You will then be able to see which NinjaScript, if any, is running at the top of the list and decide if you want to try to delete it).




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

- Shut down NinjaTrader 8

- Go to your computer's 'Documents/NinjaTrader 8/db' folder

- Delete the files inside the 'cache', 'day', 'minute', and 'tick' folders.

- Important: Do not remove any other files inside the NinjaTrader 8 Documents folder.

When you restart NinjaTrader 8, you may notice a slightly longer initial load time as all of your historical chart data is re-downloaded, but your overall performance should be better.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance or if you continue to experience this behavior.
