cool I will investigate and send you my result , so maybe we can put it on the website.

I think all my Computer problem come from this issue.

I am using 8 instance with a lot of chart , I change CPU , VIDEO CARD to try to isolate the problem , But I find out that high ram usage when I reattach all my windows in each instance.

And it only happen when I download data without reloading charts.

I remove my anti virus from scanning Sierra chart folder.
I make sure sierra chart bypass my firewall.

it might be a Indicator issues but I would prefer to keep them.

Just did a new download for SPY - the it took 24GB of ram in one go. Then I reload and recalculate all my chart and magically this 24GB goes to 500MB.

So , I just need to reload and recalculate all charts.

And all my computer problem really come from this issues. From all my testing , with all the computer change I did. A laptop , to a desktop to a mac M1 to another desktop.

With this issues fix for me , Only a 6 core processor with 16GB max of ram is require. using 6.7GB at the moment. for 8 instance with about 60 loaded charts.

It even drop my CPU usage from 15% to 5%... This is insane boost - Now I see that your program is Very , very , VERY efficient. when its loaded with min ram usage.

I did another test , close everything then I deleted big files , like TSLA-SPY etc. Then I reaload my instance and chartbook. I took all the RAM space but I found the ALT-R key to reload all chart on a chartbook and It work , I will use this when I feel like my system is overload.

I am now using only 8 GB or ram and about 10% CPU power at market open instead of 20 to 30GB and about 15 to 20% CPU power.

I can now , buy a laptop to trade and be confident that I will not lag :)
