Post From: SC 1316 Errors While Trading

I restarted Sierra Chart and I'm not getting the error anymore. Yes I am using custom studies. I have scanned through the message log to make sure the custom studies aren't causing any errors. I have been using the same custom studies for over a year without a problem up until SC 1306. After 1306 I noticed that every now and then SC would hang when I pushed F5 or F6. I could see that the chart settings/study settings window would quickly open and then be minimized. Impatiently I would click somewhere on the window bar to see if I have control of the program and then my computer would be unresponsive to clicks anywhere on the screen unless I used ALT-TAB to switch programs. Once I switched away from SC then everything else worked fine. When this happened I would have to shut it down from the windows task manager. When I went to shut it down windows would say the program is waiting for an input from me, but if I ALT-TABBED and looked around for other SC windows I couldn't find any that were looking for a response- sometimes I would get the window saying I have open trade orders and whether or not I would like to exit, followed by the window that prompts to Save All. Sometimes I could exit properly, other times I was forced to shut it down from windows. I upgraded to SC 1316 yesterday hoping the issues mentioned above would go away and so far I haven't had them but I got the trading errors that I posted this morning- which is new. Now that I restarted SC I'm not getting any errors for now. I suspect it may have to do with the number of chartbooks and chart windows I have open. I trade about 15-20 markets and each one has it's own chartbook. Each chartbook usually at least has separate daily, weekly, monthly, a few renko, and a tick chart. In the past I have had minor issues with SC and have noticed reducing the number of open chartbooks has helped. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-11-06 18:10:46
