memory usage

[andrewbee]

Hi,

I have NT 6.5.1000.15 running with Zen-Fire on Vista. I have 4 strategies running (all on different instruments). No data collection running.

NT is currently using 800MB of memory. Yesterday it peaked at 1.2 GB. I had to restart it, as it was putting a serious strain on my machine. Is there anything I can do to reduce this?

Thanks

Hello andrewbee,

You could set 'Calculate on bar close' to True for the strategies. They will be calculated at the close of a bar instead of each incoming tick.

Check if you perhaps have workspaces running in the background. Go to File-->Workspaces and check what workspaces are listed below 'Save Workspace As'. The workspace with the checkmark is the workspace opened on your monitor. Any additional workspaces listed, are opened in the background. Select a workspace without a checkmark and subsequently go to File-->Workspaces-->Close Workspace. Repeat this process until only one workspace is opened.

In addition, more tips to reduce resource request and improve performance can be found at the link below.
