Reducing the usage computer resources

Postby andreinvest » 04 May 2021

Hello!

I have Multicharts 64 bit. Now I have everything loaded just like you can see on the 1st pic I attached. I have 110 charts launched.
2 days ago just after I started automatic trading I had less usage of the computer resources as you can see on 2nd attached pic.
Resource consumption is increased.

How can I reduce resource consumption?

Your memory is at the limit.

Probably some process crashed. You need to reboot.

I have rebooted. But what it should be done in future?
reboot every day?

The consumption of computer resources increased over time and grew to a maximum. May be it happen because of market data or logs ?

will it be better if change to .NET version ?

Put each of these into a separate core:
1) multicharts.exe
2) server.exe
3) tsserver.exe

Make sure you have stripped-out all windows processes that are not essential. Example: windows indexer

Not sure the core can change for server.exe and tsserver.exe, but it certainly can for multicharts.exe:
Just substitute Multicharts.exe and it's path for IBGateway here:
echo off
START "" /HIGH /B /MIN /AFFINITY 0xC "C:\Jts\ibgateway\978\ibgateway.exe"
The 0XC specifies the core.
You will then start Multicharts using this short-cut.
Whatever you do, never specify REALTIME for the priority....that will increase the chances of locking up your machine.

Also, for setting and keeping priority levels, see this:

I once used PRIO and it was great, but I understand it is no longer supported and will not work in Windows 10.

If you want to get really geeky, read this article:

Finally, here is the code to set the CPU hogging windows indexer off and on. Pass a "0" parameter to set it off, no parameter or any parameter to set it back on.
