Control Center Toolbar

The Control Center Toolbar cleans up the NinjaTrader default toolbar and adds some new features. Menu names have been removed to make room on the toolbar for more AddOn tools to be added.



Hovering over the icons will fly out the name of the menu item.

Boost NT Performance

Windows shares processor resources between all running processes based upon their priority level. If a process (application) has a higher priority level, it gets more processor resources for better performance compared to a process having lower priority.

"Boost NT" can set priority for NinjaTrader to run with a High, Above normal, Normal, Below normal, or Low priority level in Windows based on your needs instead of the default priority. The changes you make to the priority level of NinjaTrader are only temporary and not set permanently. Once the NinjaTrader platform is closed Windows will forget the priority level you set for it. If you wish to reset the priority for NinjaTrader, you will need to do it from this icon one time each time you log onto the NinjaTrader platform.


Exit

Many users moving from previous versions of NinjaTrader to NinjaTrader 8 almost immediately notice that the "exit" menu item has been removed. Instead, there is only a very small "x" on the control center menu bar top right corner. This small X can be difficult to select for those with small monitors running at higher resolutions. The X and the minimize and maximize buttons are very close together and can take precision to select.


Therefore, we've added an "Exit" icon to the control center toolbar, that is larger, as a convenience for those struggling with the small x close button. You will be prompted to save your open workspaces before closing NinjaTrader.


Save all open workspaces and Restart

Sometimes it becomes necessary to restart NinjaTrader. If you find yourself doing this on occasion, it can be cumbersome to exit, save, and restart each time. This handy tool will do it all for you with just one click.
