Data Feed freezes then unfreezes

[pickles1101]

Hi,

I am trading demo. Whilst trading my data feed freezes. It does not disconnect from its connection. A few minutes later it will unfreeze and catch up the missing data. This happens randomly and for differing lengths of time.

What is causing this?

Hello pickles1101,

Slow performance is generally attributed to an overworked CPU.

Below is a public link to a forum post that details and provides some times for reducing the demand from the CPU.

If you would like to confirm the issue is an overworked CPU, you can close all open workspaces and open a new workspace and open new charts that have no indicators applied and test for the behavior.

Yeah its the CPU being overloaded. The provided thread is very useful. Cheers.
