News events ??

[Sinks]

Ok so we must of had a news event that made the ES go crazy. Suddenly the charts are going crazy and we have all seen this before. My question is ........Why do the charts lag so far behind the DOM and the Time and Sales, and if I take a trade based on the DOM and I can see price moving up and I get out with a big profit but the P&L says big loss. Are the entries and exits based on the chart or the DOM. I have a pretty awesome computer with 2 Windforce video cards. Are the charts lagging because of the video cards or what.........I gots to know how I can fix this.

The reason a chart window would lag behind a non-graphical real-time window like the SuperDOM or Time & Sales is because the chart window is overloaded with items to draw on the chart. Time & Sales/SuperDOM do not have complicated or resource-intensive graphical elements, so they do not suffer from the same symptom typically.

What version of NinjaTrader 8 are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.0.X.X)

To see what (if any) NinjaScript items may be contributing to the symptoms, please open the NinjaScript Utilization Monitor:

• Control Center > New > NinjaScript Output
• Right-click within the NinjaScript output window > Select 'NinjaScript Utilization Monitor...
• This window will begin to populate with NinjaScript items in order of time spent processing
• Let this window populate for at least a few minutes then send me a screenshot of it's contents
  • To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.
    • Click here for instructions
  • Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

PatrickG.......Please don't take this the wrong way.........I was just wandering if there was something I could do on my end to curve the lag a little.....ie new monitors or video cards. I'm running 8 monitors on this puter.

Before spending money on new PC hardware, I would first eliminate the TTP_VolumeAnalysist from all windows in all open workspaces. Does the issue persist? If not, slowly start adding the indicator back in.

Also, you may find that you're able to mitigate or even eliminate the symptoms you're experiencing by optimizing your workspace(s) further. I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over performance tips:

Thank you Patrick..........This was actually only the 2nd time that I experienced this. Pretty sure I may have to many days loaded than what I actually need. And the indicators per chart will be trimmed as much as possible.
