Turned Off Gridlines -> Utilization Monitor Plummeted !
I scalp the ES and do ok. But when my chart lag > 1.00 seconds, I have to sit on my hands and just wait it out. Sometimes it will be unbearable, the lag will be longer than several minutes!
Checking the NinjaScript Utilization Monitor, the Chartsyle "Candlestick" was always way higher (like 100x) than any other type.
I put together a new computer with the best components and highest CPU speed. I did all the performance enhancing to Windows - like turning off indexing and made sure the Ninjatrader graphics was set to High Performance, etc... I could not do anything to reduce the high CPU time due to "Candlesticks" because it is native to NT8.
On a whim I turned off Horizontal and Vertical Grid Lines and like magic, the CPU time plummeted and chart lag stays at less than -.100sec even during the heaviest volume, usually -.030sec to -.070sec (which is about my round trip ping time to Chicago).
Candlestick CPU time is not even in the top 5 now and all of the other NinjaScript Utilization Monitor lines are well within reason.
That's it. That's all I wanted to say.
