Hi,

I've always a believer that SC is one of the best trading platforms out there, but recently it has become very annoying the fact that the platform freezes even when i move the mouse during loading the data (i have to force close it and reopen it) or it crashes at random times. Imagine if it crashes when you have a position open! I've paid for a year's subscription but im starting having regrets for doing so.

Is there way to help me resolve the issue?

PS: I have updated to the latest version.

I would provide info like: financial instrument(s) you are trading, what OS are you using, the number of charts and studies open, what type of computer, who is your data provider etc. that would help support team to diagnose

Yes this is very resolvable. Refer to help topic 30:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often

However, in the main instance Sierra Chart, only contain the charts and Trading DOMs that you use for trading. Refer to:
Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Improving Performance Of Chart / Trade DOM

Use sub instances for all other charts with a high load.

We need to know exactly what you mean by this:
or it crashes at random times.
We do not know. Refer to help topic 17:
Sierra Chart Unexpectedly Shutting Down | Memory Errors | Unusual Software Problems | Exception Errors | Freezing of User Interface

Sierra Chart is very reliable and does not crash. We need to understand what is leading to the condition in your case.
