On that particular chart posted, go to Analysis >> Studies and open the Study Settings window for the TPO Profile Chart study.

Set the Sub Period Price Display Style to Horizontal Bars.

What is the CPU usage when using Horizontal Bars? It will be much less.


And what is the Chart Update Interval? For more information, about that refer to help topic 30.5:
Https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=helpdetails30.html

For a chart as large as that, you should use a chart specific update interval of about 5000 since it does not need to be frequently updated. Charts that need to be frequently updated should show a much smaller period of time.

We have given you solutions, and if you do not want to use those we do not know how to help you anymore. The recent changes with the TPO Profile Chart study are very significant and definitively reduce CPU usage by a large amount.

Also quoting CPU percentages in and of themselves, mean nothing. Apparently high CPU usage does not indicate a problem and no one has any idea how many CPU cores there are.

And none of us even know what the Chart Update Interval is?

Sierra Chart is fast and efficient, but you can certainly do things which will create a very heavy CPU load. But this is something that the user needs to deal with by referring to the solutions in help topic 30.
