stock777 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Seeing 2 gig ram usage. Sdata is 1 gig, but still seems high. Sound normal or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 if you have lots of charts or other windows open, MT will use a lot of memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 lol, shudda known. just seems like a lot of ram . is it the language code base thats inefficient or what. The actual data that loaded can't possibly take that much ram. Charts maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 put it this way, if you happen to have 60 days of tick data on AAPL, that is about 450 gig. for just that one symbol. Yes, that is an extreme case, but just an example. MT needs to have lots of the data it uses in memory for performance reasons rather than having to constantly get from disk, so it does add up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Right, but I do have tick data set to 1 day. 60 days on daily bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 stock777 - how many charts open? Do they all have 60 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 maybe 20 charts of various types, mostly showing today 1 minute or a few days of displayed days. 150 symbols in open ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 stock777: as long as you have 60 days of data in the chart (even if only a few days visible) that takes memory. Indicators (if a lot) take memory. 150 active symbols do. But even then, a lot of that memory is swapped out and "inactive", even if it shows in your Task Manager, so should not bog your system down.
