stock777 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Running QT & MT at the same time with basically the same data, much heavier MT usage vs QT, something I would not have expected to see . QT at 5-6% MT 25% seeing higher ram usage as well, not as big an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 MT does use a bit more. However, there are other things that can impact it. Are you using Microsoft Security Essentials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 MT does use a bit more. However, there are other things that can impact it. Are you using Microsoft Security Essentials? A bit more would be ok, this is 5X more. not ok ;-). Yes I do use MSE, should I exclude MT, I konw I did that with QT . Is that why so high CPU?

Jerry Medved Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yes, MSE will cause a huge problem. Refer to this: http://forums.medvedtrader.com/index.php?/topic/281-note-problem-with-microsoft-security-essentials/ NOTE: Make sure to exclude both the process and the folders.

stock777 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Did all the exclusions, still seeing the same high 20-30% constant cpu. Even disabled real time protection on MSE, no diff Thinkorswim & IB running on same machine , neither even 1/2 that on a consistent basis . Old QT (stocks.exe) running at 5%? and doing more actually, than MT. Tried disabling global alerts, not it. Somethings not right , just updating symbols and 5 charts, 2 Level 2s' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Can you restart it right now, now that the market is over, and then please do the following: go to FILE / Export Settings. Leave the checkboxes already checked, and also check LOG FILE. Export, then email me the exported file please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Sent! A lot of symbols yes, but Im running the exact same setup on QT just so you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Still seeing very heavy cpu usage . Disabled alerts. same . Using 2 GIG ram????? 40% average CPU. not good. Drops off at 4PM as soon as the quotes die off. Maybe the throttle you talked about needs tweaking. At this rate , the cpu runs hot. Running an i5-750 quad core, 8 gig ram Win 7 64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
