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

Windows 2016/2019
Workstation/Laptop
NinjaTrader 7 and AFT7 can be quite data/CPU hungry.
1. PC Specifications:
You will need a modern spec PC:
Intel Core i7 or better, AMD Ryzen 7 or 9
16GB or more 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-intensive and requires a very good PC, or it will bog down and serve lagged old tick data in real-time.
