DeltaTrader processes real-time order flow data and benefits from modern hardware. For the best experience, especially when using footprint charts, the DOM, and multi-panel layouts, we recommend the following system setup.
Recommended Hardware
CPU: Intel i7 / AMD Ryzen 7 / Apple M1 or higher
RAM: 16 GB or more
GPU: Dedicated GPU with 4 GB VRAM or higher
Examples: NVIDIA GTX 1650, RTX series, Apple M2 Pro or better
Internet: Stable 50 Mbps+ connection with less than 50 ms ping to the nearest Rithmic server
Browser: Latest Google Chrome
DeltaTrader is fully optimized for Chromium-based browsers
Important: Prevent Chrome from suspending DeltaTrader
Chrome may automatically suspend inactive tabs to save memory. This can interrupt data processing, cause delayed updates, or reduce performance when switching back to DeltaTrader. To ensure maximum stability, add DeltaTrader to Chrome’s active exceptions list:
Steps:
This prevents Chrome from putting DeltaTrader to sleep and ensures continuous order flow processing and optimal chart performance.
Keeping DeltaTrader active ensures smooth footprint charts, DOM updates, and multi-panel layouts.
Notes
DeltaTrader will technically run on lower hardware, but heavy order flow layouts perform best on the specs above.
Apple Silicon (M-series) performs extremely well with multi-chart and footprint setups.
Network stability matters more than raw speed. Avoid shared, congested, or unpredictable WiFi networks whenever possible.
For the most stable connection, a wired Ethernet connection or strong 5 GHz / WiFi 6 network is recommended.
Ongoing Performance Improvements
We are continuously optimizing DeltaTrader to run smoothly on a wider range of hardware.
If your current computer does not meet the recommended specs, you can open a support ticket with your system details.
Our team will review it and notify you as soon as upcoming performance updates are expected to improve your setup.
