It happened to me yesterday and again today... Most recently, @8:03 am MTN there was a high volume spike in the ES and NT& froze like a deer in the head lights and I had to reboot... None of the charts were responding - DEAD... I got NT back up, but given that NT doesn't store historical data all of my Bid/Ask data was wiped out... I wasn't able to get my trades on at an optimal location so I lost out there as well... This happened yesterday as well... I lost 6 ticks trying to exit a trade (leaving $1500 on the table)... This is FRUSTRATING and AGGRAVATING!
I've seen these slow=downs in the past but didn't think too much of them... This is different... I can't trust NT and the performance in volatile/high-volume markets leaves a lot to be desired... I have resisted looking at other platforms, but given the size that I trade this is intolerable... I've read here on the forum that NT only uses multiple cores on startup and back-testing i think, for a realtime platform in these economic times, where a "black swan" event is sure to happen at any time, it HAS to process data without skipping a beat...
And yes, I do keep the log and trace files manageable and I am running the most recent version of NT... What a piss off!
