NinjaTrader 7 - Hangs after clicking the Strategies Menu to display strategy list

Clicking the "strategies" button or menu to display Strategies - for the first time after starting NinjaTrader or compiling strategies - NinjaTrader 7 will pause and appear to hang and become non responsive  as it iterates through the strategies and templates/strategy/default templates files

1. This is expected behaviour for NT7 and is a feature of NinjaTrader 7 outside of our control and is related- only for NT7 default strategy templates
2. This behaviour is not effected by templates which live in the subfolders of the NT7/templates/strategy folder
3. Subsequent load times do not hang and the list is displayed - until a restart or compile occurs
4. This is normal behaviour and is slower or quicker depending on your cpu,hard drive speed and the number of strategies and templates you have
5. This behaviour is controlled by NinjaTrader development architecture not MicroTrends or other vendors

Solutions:
A. Wait until NinjaTrader is ready
B. Speed up Strategy list load time  by reducing the NT7 strategy templates default template

1. MTNTF7: So for MTNTF7 there is a warning on the installer about this when installing strategies - and recommends not to install unless you want to the NT7 default templates - or install then delete what you dont want afterwards
2. MTDS7 - install but delete what you don't want afterwards
3. Other Strategies -the same approach applies

Speed up NinjaTrader on the first display of Strategy List

• Use Windows explorer and view the folder contents for "\Documents\Ninjatrader 7\templates\Strategy"
• select and delete the templates not in use
