For the most part, I have a completely bare bones NT now. Had to strip it and minimise everything to get any reliable performance and unless we get stuff like Friday, the open, or the close, for the most part on stuff like NQ (volatile), it's acceptable (not perfect, but acceptable).
I've been running the chartLag script for a while, nmonitoring latency. During that down move on NQ, it was topping out around 80 seconds lag. I've attached a screen shot showing the lag in excess of 60 seconds. It stayed there for a few minutes, at least, then resumed it's normal 120-200 ms (I'm transatlantic for data).. Of course, the _perfect_ setup occurred, but I'm looking at data over 60 seconds old, so no point even looking at the mouse! There's nothing left I can optimise. I've even removed / enhanced NT bar types to make them faster. The biggest resource use according to ninjascript utilisation manager are things like 'candle type'.
Now, I'm not looking for response from NT - I know they cannot fix this. But, there was comment that the new version just released may have some performance enhancements to resolve this. So, just looking for any feedback from anyone who is using the latest, if they had any issues with lag Friday.
For my part, I tried the new version, but very, very, quickly, found many issues with charts freezing, loads of errors in the log re NT drawing objects, etc. So, I rolled back to the old version and all OK. I tried the update twice with same result. Would not run more than a few minutes during live session before charts froze. 8.0.17.2 64-bit I am on now, seems reasonably stable and certainly does not have the issues the latest one does.
Just clinging to hope the new ver might help with performance, and once the gremlins are sorted with that, I might have a path forward with NT.
Thanks.
