Multicharts taking long time to load application? [SOLVED]
Multicharts taking long time to load application?
I am usimg MV V9.3 64bit on WIN 8 computer. Since latest version (9.xx) of MC I am finding it takes a long time just to load the application and wondering if others are finding the same issue?

Re: Multicharts taking long time to load application?
What is a long time? On Windows 7 64-bit with MC 64bit in my case it takes around 15 seconds to load, of which around 5 seconds are spent authenticating with the MultiCharts server.Since latest version (9.xx) of MC I am finding it takes a long time just to load the application and wondering if others are finding the same issue?
I didn't notice that the latest version was much slower (but it wasn't neither was quicker for me).

No visible delays in loading application. It loads up well under a minute and is acceptable surely.
Happy Trading.

Re: Multicharts taking long time to load application?
Mine loads fast too (MC 64bit on Win7 with i7)...
Maybe you have a workspace that is slowing it down, try opening MC without any workspaces and see if it's still slow... then add them back in, one at a time, to find the problem workspace..
Anti-virus software may be slowing it down too.

Re: Multicharts taking long time to load application?
How long is a "long time"?
How many workspaces do you have opening?
How many windows in each?
What bar types are you using?
How far back do you have your charts set to?
What's the data feed that you're using?
If I try to load a workspace which has a couple windows with 5 years worth of renko bars, it can take all night.. or never load at all while consuming 99% of my ram (my pc is more than adequate). So there are some cases which will be slow.... but please specify.

and the charts need to catch up on historical data,
then the delay is due to your dataprovider not streaming data fast enough.
(or you have a lot of back data to catch up to).
If you are using IB, then most likely you are having pace violation.

Thank you to all the support I received on this query I appreciate it.
It takes 2min 50secs before the Multichart logo appears. This is before it makes connection to the data server.
Perhaps this is considered normal however it was faster in previous versions.
Yes I do have several workspaces but they don't appear until after the application is loaded which takes the 2min 50sec. Unless as one of the user group has suggested it is loading the workspaces in the background as it is loading the application and before the Multichart logo appears? Perhaps that is what has changed.
Again thankyou all for your suport.

If the logo takes so long to show up,Thank you to all the support I received on this query I appreciate it.

then there is something wrong with your computer.
Anything before the logo has nothing to do with the program.
How old is your harddisk?
Have you defrag it lately?
Re: Multicharts taking long time to load application?
Hi TJ
It is about 2 year old pc and no haven't defragged. It is worth looking at although I am not noticing any slowness from other applications.
Thanks TJ I will take your advice.

Hi TJ
I took your advice re defrag etc and it resulted in significant improvement, thank you.
Now that I can see just how much memory MultiCharts uses this explains why I didn't see any issues with my other applications. Obviously any PC performance issues will be more noticeable on those apps that use huge chunks of memory.
