How much faster would NT 64 Bit be

[GKonheiser]

If I have a lot of Back testing and Optimisation to do is it worth using the 64 Bit version of NT?

Is it allot faster?

Hello GKonheiser,

Yes, it will make a difference if you run NinjaTrader in 64 bit. Please note that NinjaTrader is restricted by Windows to a limited amount of RAM when ran in 32 bit. When you run NinjaTrader in 64 bit, there is no such limitation.

Thanks Jason, I get the error message that ive attached below when I try to run the 64bit version.

NinjaTrader requires various Microsoft components to run, one of which is SQL compact Edition. Currently you may not have SQL Compact Edition or possibly have the incorrect version of SQL Compact Edition installed. Please follow the below steps to ensure the correct version of SQL Compact Edition is installed on your PC.

- Navigate to the Windows Control Panel
- Add and remove software/programs
- Uninstall any SQL Compact Editions you see, if none are present you may ignore this step and continue onto the next step
- Install latest SQL Compact Edition 3.5. SP2 which is available here:

http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/files/SQLCE_3.5_SP2.exe

- Once you run the downloaded file it will ask you for a directory to extract the installer to. Point this to a temporary directory that you will be able to quickly locate later, such as the desktop
- Navigate to the aforementioned directory in which the files have been extracted to (there will be two files)

SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.msi - Run this one first
SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.msi - No need to run this if you are on a 32 bit system, if you are on a 64 bit system you will also need to run this file, if you are not sure if you have a 64 bit system go ahead and run this file. If you are not using a 64 Bit operating system, the installer will cancel itself automatically

- Follow the installation steps outlined in the installation wizard
- Once installed you will need to restart your PC
- You will now be able to launch NinjaTrader 7
