NT software opening very slow

[zachj]

Noticed in the last month it has started opening much slower than usual. Anything I can check or clear out maybe? My harddrive seems to have plenty of available space so I don't think that's it.

I do have several charts open in each workspace by default which slows it down but its never been this slow to open a workspace.

Hello,

Are you connecting on startup? If so you may consider disabling this feature as the connection will have to establish itself before you visually see your charts.
Tools -> Account Connections... -> Choose the account you wish to change and click change... -> go through clicking next and unchecking connect on startup along the way.

For the workspaces, Keep in mind that you may have workspaces open and running even if you do not visually see them. This feature allows users to quickly toggle between workspaces by going to File -> workspaces -> any workspace shown below the "save workspace as" is currently open even if it is not check marked

As a test, please take the following steps to force NinjaTrader to start without your saved workspace. You will have the option to reopen these after our tests.


* Shut down NinjaTrader
* Navigate to (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\workspaces
* Delete the file named "_Workspaces.XML".
* After deleting this file, restart NinjaTrader which should startup without any workspaces.
* Once NinjaTrader has started on just the control center, please open a new chart and test for issue.
* *Please note this will not delete your workspace however the new blank workspace will be named Untitled1. If you have a workspace already named Untitled1 however you will not want to save the workspace when exiting NinjaTrader, otherwise it will overwrite it.


If there are no issues on this new workspace, please try opening the previous workspace by going to File--> Workspaces--> Open workspace.

If this reintroduces issues, I would suggest rebuilding your workspace. Please keep track of what indicators you add back in so that we can narrow down what indicator is causing the issue if the issue returns. I also suggest making a backup of your workspace so we can restore a backup if the issue returns.
Below I have provided a link to the Backup and Restore section of our help guide.
