New PC Build up for Ninjatrader

[⭐ bomdila]

Hi friends, I am going to build up a new PC for trading, specially for Ninjatrader 7, in which I could keep open multiple workspaces and each workspace containing multiple charts. I would use more orderflow and volume tools. Besides Ninjatrader, I would use multiple trading tools, broker terminal applications and VMware also. Please suggest a good configuration in which there is no hanging issue at all

 

Thank you

@bomdila, if you're using Ninjatrader, especially Ninja 7 it won't matter how good your machine is, you will still experience hanging especially during periods of high volatility. Ninja is not particularly well written, especially Ninja 7.

Besides the Trading software "good" or "less" good programming, the Hardware generally required is :

 

At least 8 GB ( better 16 GB ) fast RAM, Fast graphic Card, Large Monitor ( these are now being more and more cheap, so, you can for example get a 55 inches Ultra High definition ( 4K) with a powerful graphic card....compatible with HDMI 2.0 at least :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example :

 

EVGA Graphic Card GeForce® GTX 1060 SC 3Go GDDR5

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
  
  
• Bus Type : PCI Express 3.0 x16
  
  
• Clock 1 : 1607 MHz
  
  
• Boosted Clock : 1835 MHz
  
  
• Interfaces : DVI-D (dual link), 3 x DisplayPort, HDMI
  
  
• Technology : GDDR5 SDRAM
  
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then you need at least a 3.8 / 4.2 Ghz CPU with at least 16 MB Cache RAM

 

and a 240 GB SSD unit for the Windows OS and Core Trading Softwares

 

plus a SATA big Hard Drive (cheap ) for Recording your SAFETY Backups ( in case of viruses or anything else )

 

my 0.2 cents

As far as I know a good or bad GPU does not matter in trading or it does not affect even NT7 performance while playing a game performance depends on how strong your gpu is, what matters in trading, is the CPU single core speed and for multitasking more CPU cores and threads.

Easy performance tweaks: higher chart update time, calculate on bar close setting for indicators, disable writing data to disk, no hyperthreading and virtualization on cpu Edited August 6, 2019 by k33

you can buy yourself a NASA computer and it will not make any difference. NT7 uses a single thread for everything. Unless you use some specialized multi-thread techniques to program your indicators, which is way beyond the skillset of most people here on this forum, no offense. Just my 2 cents.
