I don't know, but I've learned from experience that the strategies running on my server run more stable when I shut off Ninjatrader and log out of my Windows account on my server once a day, usually shortly after RTH has ended. A couple of hours later or so I then re-login, start Ninja, connect to my broker (Mirus) and re-enable all of my strategies. It's a daily task. It kind of sucks that I have to do this but ever since I have been doing this I have never had a problem. My strategies don't trade 24x5 so it's OK to be down a while, but some strategies trade a few hours after the Globex session begins so I have a few hours where I can be logged off and disconnected. Also, I reboot or "recycle" the server at least once a week, usually on the weekends or on Mondays (my strategies don't trade on Mondays). Rebooting sort of cleans your RAM, re-syncs the state of device drivers, etc. It's good to reboot every now and then.
