99% cpu usage - instances that use data2 for auto trading  [SOLVED]

I have an instance of MultiCharts that has 8 workspaces open, each with 6 charts. All charts rely on a second data stream. When auto trading is turned on at a set time of the day (8:00 gmt) it seems cpu usage immediately spikes to 100% freezing my server. Only by opening task manager and ending the task, will the server become usable again. Once i open the data2 instance up again, it seems to uses no more than 1% as it does normally.

My code has no time related functions specific to that time and I'm not using IOG.

Server specs are i7- 7700k and 64gb of ram.

Do you have any PL code created drawing objects?

eg. Trendlines, arrows, texts, etc.,

No

Usually it is a coding error.

Are you running IOG?

Please check to see if you have a snippet that sends an order, then cancels it immediately, and resubmits it again.

As I wrote above, not using iog and have no time related code

What are the chart resolutions?

How much back history on the chart?

It is possible you have a hidden infinite loop.

Have you tried one chart only ?

How does the CPU respond?

i doubt it, It happens with different data2 strategies (varying from simple to complex) and only occurs when they are placed on a chart. If i have them in portfolio trader, no cpu spikes at all. The only thing the different strategies have in common is that the second data series uses daily data built from minute data.

Hello kagein,

On each chart that has Data2 please go to Format->Strategy properties->Backtesting, under Advanced enable the option "Ignore Tick cache in Realtime".

This seems to fix the issue. Ill keep an eye on it but thanks.
