I have used NT as a licence holder for over a year now with IB.
My workspaces crash every week sometimes every day and do not reload.
eg yesterday and today ( and the US isn't even open!)
After ranting and raving, throwing computers out of windows , etc I thought I would try and get to the bottom of this.
There may be some issues with NT and their historical data requests BUT I feel the major issue lies with IB and it's throttling/traffic management, etc.
If I can restart NT unconnected and close my 'normal' workspace it will happily open 4-5 charts very quickly.
If I go back to my normal workspace - the dreaded 'Saving' / 'Loading Data' box appears and that is that in my experience. So I reason that it can only be the workspace keeps getting corrupted or IB are somehow strangling the data requests and NT have no way of aborting the download ( clicking abort in my experience just aggravates the problem and usually ends up with ctrl+alt+del).
I can't see that this amount of corruption is possible ( I have reinstalled a few times) in normal use - other users would complain and NT would not be in business so using Occam's razor I am left with IB.
Unless someone can point me toward something else.
My normal workspace has 24 charts (8 symbols) and 1 market analyzer using a max of 20 days back. Doesn't seem arduous.
I would appreciate other users comments - esp those using IB.
I pray that v7 corrects some of this ( esp the abort, loading data freeze issue) - if it doesn't then I will have to find another data provider.
