Hi I just wanted to report abnormally high memory and CPU usage on the symbol AMZN-NQTV right after the US cash market close today February 3rd, 2022. I tested a few other high volume symbols like AAPL-NQTV, QQQ-NQTV, FB-NQTV and SPY-NQTV and none of them came close to the amount of memory usage that I was seeing when I put on the AMZN-NQTV symbol. There was an earnings report at the end of the market close but I saw something like 9000+ MB memory usage and some crazy CPU usage in my task manager as soon as I switched to the symbol, it rendered the software useless. I was able to switch away from it and everything returned to normal. |

We do not know why this is the case. It depends upon what you are doing with the chart and how it is configured. The symbol is generally not relevant to memory use.

Thank you and for anybody who runs into this issue on high price stocks, increasing the tick size for the symbol seemed to have removed the issue totally. Global settings > Symbol settings > Scroll to find the symbol > Tick size I believe another reason for high memory was that I have a chart with the numbers bars study. It does not even make sense to have a 0.01 tick size on a high priced stock where the bid offer spread can sometimes be up to 0.40 or higher. |
