Hello TJ, In my cases, for day trading, I use 9 chart windows (9 different symbols) and each of them has 11 panes (identical for each chart, this is my default chart template).
Some days I have found that this is too much resource consuming then I decrease to 4 to 6 chart (10 minutes time frame). Certainly I would like this to be a bit improved in the future if that is possible, but with this current setup I am comfortable.
