I’m in no way a tech expert, but my experience with NT8 is that performance issues are negligible unless you have 25+ charts open. I believe issues at that point have more to do with their own software optimization than your graphics card/processor. Some things that I do think make a difference:
A reliable, high speed internet connection
A backup connection (even a phone hotspot with a decent data plan works)
SSD
8gb+ RAM
Multiple monitors
Perhaps:
Consider the latency between you and your broker. There will always be an execution delay that’s broker-side as they receive your order and then submit it to the exchange. Shouldn’t be an issue for most traders, however.
I use a wireless internet connection, but I fully agree with the above posters that if you need that level of granularity and execution speed, go with a wired connection. I might be leaving something off, but I think the above is all I’d recommend for trading off NT8.
