When there are many charts open and calculating, multicharts appears to be using all processor cores.
When there is only one chart open and calculating there appears to be only one core working at maximum.
When I try to change that by setting the affinity of multicharts in Task Manager I get a "Access Denied" error.
Is this normal? Is there another way to make multicharts use all cores at any time?
My OS: Vista x64 Ultimate
CPU : Quad core Q6600
Multicharts latest version
Vista x64 Quad Core CPU affinity

This is not normal. Tradesignal does use all 4 cores of my Quad Core for the same Strategy as in Multicharts and it is definetely calculating faster in Tradesignal. Should be addressed in my opinion, since currently all the cores are only used when optimizing.
Thank you for your observation.
Can I ask you a favor?
Can you post a screen shot of the Task Manager when running 1 chart?
I would like to see it, not because I do not believe you, I am asking merely for my own educational purpose.

Dear cyberdad,
As far as for speed of calculation Tradesignal is .NET application and in tests we have performed Multicharts was always at least 20-30% faster.
Your experiense rouse the interest. Please describe the exact details of comparison you make.

As far as we know Tradesignal can use multiple CPUs for ptimization only. If you see all cores loaded it doesn't mean each of them loaded by Tradesignal. Check the processes running and post the screenshot.Tradesignal does use all 4 cores of my Quad Core for the same Strategy as in Multicharts and it is definetely calculating faster in Tradesignal.
