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.
