I have a computer I built for trading a few years ago and I'm starting to notice a few problems recently. I've noticed that when I have one DOM open the numbers refresh veryyy fast (I set the refresh interval to 10 miliseconds) but when I have multiple charts and two doms open it really slows the DOM down. I'm watching orderflow and need it updating as fast as possible. I'm curious what I could upgrade on my computer to make this as fast as possible. Computer: 8gb ram ddr3, windows 10, x64 based pc, amd 8 core processor 8320e, amd R9 200 series, platform installed on SSD drive, other notes: recording one screen throughout the day so I can watch back using open broadcast software using 4 monitors in the one graphics card Computer usage while its happening: CPU: 31%, memory: 64%, disk: 0%, network: 0%, GPU: 3%, I have been told it could potentially have to do with my ram. Should I be upgrading it to 16gb? at what speed? is my CPU taking too much load? Thanks so much for reading! |

You do not need to upgrade hardware. Instead run a second instance of SC, and put your charts on the second instance with a more reasonable update interval, and just run your DOMs on the first instance.

We think the best thing to do is to use a higher Chart Update Interval for the charts. Refer to: Chart Settings: Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Update Interval menu) Only make it low for those Charts or Trading DOMs which need to be fast. And being you have a multicore processor, as has been said you can use additional instances of Sierra Chart.

Awesome! that solved my issue. Any suggestion on what I should set the chart refreshing time to?

Only you can determine this.
