Post From: Is there a max number of Chartbooks/Charts that can be opened? System crashes or loads blanks.

Just an update to anyone else having this problem in the future.

I'm on Windows 11 Workstation.

None of the options above worked. I am limited to 60 charts open at any given time, no matter the subinstances created/used or how the charts/chartbooks are shared. What's interesting is that if I max out the charts and then try to exit SC, I can't exit because I am not getting the "Save All?" prompt, because that too is a window/messagebox. I had to manually close a chartbook to be able to exit SC and save it, because the messagebox wouldn't spawn otherwise.

I'm now looking at other options and trying to condense what I look at, or perhaps use another computer for charting and my main one for DOMs only. It seems to be a problem, as mentioned above by a SC engineer, with Windows. I'm not sure how Windows handles SC processes between instances or how they are linked, but cloning the directory and re-running another SC .exe, instancing, DTC Server chartbook sharing, etc. does not work.

The goal was to have the entire CME, NYMEX, COMEX, and CBOT product slate in front of my face so I could spot opportunities across all products/product classes and have everything organized, but Windows and its BS strikes again.
