You will have to define HFT. If that is high frequency trading I may 
not be able to answer that question. I trade futures and only one 
contract at a time and only one symbol from each indicator.  I have 
had up to four different tickers running at once on four different 
worksheets displayed vertically using a 1 or 5 minute chart with no 
problems. I don't know how much internet speed and CPU speed factors 
into that question. I am on a 3 MB internet and I have an intel core 
2 duo processor with 3 GB of memory which is much faster than needed 
as the processor was running about 10% at that time. I am also using 
AB 4.90.5 and the later versions are faster which may or may not 
improve throughput depending on whether they generate more processing 
cycles. Tomasz would know the answer to that question.
