You are in a better position to know why there is more memory being used as compared to us since you know what you are doing.

Refer to:
Http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/helpdetails30.html


is it because it somehow holds the results of the bectest somewhere in the memory or what?
Normally this would not amount to much memory use. But have a look at how many lines are in the Trade Activity Log from the back test. But you would have to be having something like hundreds of thousands of lines for there to be a measurable memory impact.

The amount of memory Sierra Chart uses is based upon what you are doing with it. You are the one in control and only you know what you are doing. Not us. Sierra Chart can use a lot of memory, if you are loading a lot of data into a chart, or using certain kinds of studies . You cannot do massive and extensive things with Sierra Chart and think it is not going to use much memory.

This is a good example of where you have to think before you post. All of this is just common sense and help topic 30 is found in the documentation. In general there is nothing of value that we have provided here assuming we have given you help topic 30 previously.
