Laggy and freezing

[chonwayne]

Hello NT,

Why does my Ninja chart and Dome lag and freeze when the market market starts to move fast. I trade the E-mini.

I have XP, and connect to Zen-Fire. and My ISP is Verizon Fios I live in Southern California.

I using tick charts of 233 and 1597 and the indicators I'm using are VWAP, Fisher Transform, ******REI, and ATR Trailing.

Can any one please tell me how to clear this issue?

Thanks,

ChonWayne

Also run a virus/malware scan as harmful programs can cause poor PC performance.

Hello RJStien,

Thanks, I'll try that.

I restarted Ninja and it looked like it really helped.

I don't run Malware and Virus software programs on my PC when I'm trading.

Thanks,

In general, I've found this type of problem to be related to lack of memory.

As Ninja runs, it will grab more and more memory, so the trick is to start with less, so you can get it to stay up longer.

Note that the problem may come back after Ninja has been up a while if the problem is running out of memory, but the performance tips that NijaTrader_RJStein recommended should prevent a reoccurance if this is the problem.
