Possible Beta 5 bug?

[ClayB1]

I'm attempting to create a range chart using $TICK data and am getting some unexpected results. I'm able to create the chart using values from 1 to 200, but anytime I try to use a range over 200 units NT crashes.

The base memory footprint of NT with my workspace loaded is about 65 MB. As soon as I request a range chart of over 200 units the CPU usage spikes to 100% and memory usage slowly increases to the limits of my PC. The crash occurs at around 1.5 or 1.6 gig of memory usage. I have repeated this four times with the same result each time.

I am using Windows XP SP2 with all patches applied. My PC has a P4 processor with 1.5 GB of RAM. Any ideas?

We will look into this and report back tomorrow.

What your lookback period (how many days)? Thanks

[ClayB1]

The lookback period was five days, although I tried two days and the result was the same.

Thanks for feedback.

Which provider was that?

[ClayB1]

I am using opentick. I requested the $TICK range chart with the data feed both connected and disconnected and the result was the same.

This bug will be fixed with next beta. Thanks for reporting.

Hi ClayB1 !

This has been a bug in range bars, which we now fixed.

To resolve, please copy attached @BarsType.cs into <user>\My Documents\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\Custom\Type folder.

Thanks for bringing this up !

Kind regards,
Christian

Don't forget to recompile by pulling up any indicator and pressing F5. Thanks

Wow - thanks for the quick response. I'll apply the fix this morning.
