I don't think so. This is a Windows limitation. On 32 bit windows the addressable memory size is limited, and if more is needed by a single application the swap file does not help.
I had a pretty good support experience with NT recently. I am trying to setup the single stock futures of the SPY etf (SPYM1C) with Interactive Brokers, and keep getting errors. I opened an issue with NT support, and the analyst was very responsive, schedule a time to call me on the phone and connect remotely to my machine to diagnose the problem. Is that normal for NT support, or was that an anomaly?
Anyway, he could not fix the problem, so I still have the issue, but I think the phone and remote access contact was unprecedented for me with NT support.
By the way, if anyone knows how to setup a single stock future on NT with Interactive Brokers, I'm all ears.
The communication module, between NinjaTrader and IB, doesn't seems to send the Multiplier (for AAPL, as an example, 1 SSF = 100 stocks), so TWS is not able to send back the information.
So it can't work.
I've never traded single stock futures before, I just became aware of them, and wanted to see what they are about, and if they are worth looking at. The issue is not about what contract I want to look at, it is about NT's inability to use a legitimate market instrument, which I would assume other software vendors can use.
