1. Manually install AFT7 and make sure you got the latest.
2. Close down all other workspaces – only open 1 workspace
3. Close down the market analyzer – if not using it to see the difference
4. Only trade on a few charts – for example just 1 or 2 in trading mode etc
5. Save the workspace as your own copy
6. Reset the NT7 sim accounts – to free up data overhead
7. Data make sure you are not saving data to disk
Servers
These work fantastic based in St Louis USA:

windows 2016/2019
Workstation/Laptop
NinjaTrader 7 and AFT7 can be quite data/CPU hungry
1. PC Spec:
You will need a modern Spec PC –
Intel Core i7 or better, AMD Ryzen 7 or 9
16GB or better RAM
SSD Hard drive – Samsung NVME EVO recommended
Dual or triple Monitor Video Card
ASUS motherboard preferred
SSD Drive D for Data
Add a drive d NVME SSD and move my documents to that drive
e.g. D:\Users\Trader\Documents
then install NinjaTrader into the usual place
D:\Users\Trader\Documents\NinjaTrader 7
NT8 Versions
The NT8 version promises to be more performance oriented with orders internally but NT8 is very resource greedy and requires a very good pc or it will bog down and serve/ lagged old tick data in realtime.
