MultiCharts is a 32 bit program, as such, it can only access ~2 GB of memory space.

How many bars do you have in your chart?
Try reducing the number of bars and/or charts will help.

Hello TJ

Thanks for the reply

I wan not aware that MC was a 32 bit app. I'm running under Windows 7 64. I was looking this afternoon to upgrade my CPU and adding more memory... hehe!

I did tried to reduce the number of bars, I had the same problem. I closed down my PC and left for a while. I will retry later and see.

Is this something that happen often? Is ther a risk in live trading?

Hope the new MC version would support more memory

No problem with a previous version of my code, even with a full year of data

Problem, I don't see anything major that could cause that.

I will try to debug that, but witout proper tool, could be a difficult task.

does your indicator have a large array? It can take up a lot of memory space.


if the problem persists, you should contact tech support through live chat.

This "Not enought memory message" happens to me when I am running Portfolio backtesting. It seems to save something from the last backtesting. I have to restart the Portfolio backtesting SW in order to continue eventhow all the settings and charts (from MC itself) are as before the restart.
How do I errase the "cache" of MC without a restart?
When do you plan to bring out a 64-bit version? (Ohhh that was so predictable that someone would ask this)

Re: Not enought memory message.... Resolve

Postby arjfca » 13 Jan 2011

Hello

Problem resolved with the Help af Dave from Multicharts. Coding problem:

Code: Select all

MessageString = Messagestring + Messagestring + " Channel Hit raised to Middleband ";
I had 20 instances of this line with the string MessageString was added to itself

Correct line is:

Code: Select all

MessageString = Messagestring + " Channel Hit raised to Middleband ";
Superb service from these guys

Dear siscop,

MultiCharts is a 32 bit application and has a Windows limitation of 2 GB of virtual memory per process. The warning message comes up when the use of virtual memory reaches 1.5 GB. If the process that consumes too much memory is MultiCharts.exe or MCPortfolio.exe, then you can try to use multiple instances of the program. However, if it is Tsserver.exe, there is no workaround at the moment. The issue will disappear when we transition to 64 bit (we plan to do so this year).

Task manager does not show the virtual memory consumption properly. The easiest way to check the consumption of virtual memory is to use Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96653.aspx).

Dave, This is an important piece of news indeed. Can you confirm that decision to go 64bit has been officially made? If so, what Multicharts version will support 64bit?
Thanks

Dear geizer,

Yes, I can confirm that we plan to release 64 bit version of MC. It won't be in version 7, but we plan to do this in the near future.

The 64 bit MC version is so essential!!!! I still can't use the scanner as desired. I always get those "not enough memory messages". That's simply a pain and a major limitiation of this great analysis tool. When will you release the 64 bit version? I am willing (and I assume other users too) to pay extra money for it!!! Please let me know.

Dear eberle lutz,

We plan to release 64 bit version of MC this year, probably in the first half of the year.

Dave, now you confused me.

You will release a 64bit version during the first half of this year, and it wont be version 7?

How will you manage to do that?
If not even the beta version of MC7 has been released yet, how will you manage to release a 64bit version before August?

Will you release version 7 and version 8 together, being the main difference between them the 64bit platform of version 8?


Regards,
Fernando

Is there something new regarding the 64bit version? Do you plan to charge something for the software or does it count to the free update?
Looking forward to that version.

If you have a license, you can choose the version that you want to use - either 32 or 64 bit. There will be no extra charges for using the 64 bit version.

I too have hit memory limitations and need the 64bit version. I can only backtest 6 months of tick data when using extended backtesting and bar magnify set to tick.

For a moment there before checking the forums I was considering of upgrading my 6Gb ram to the max my PC can handle!

Cheers,
T

Now that you have released a great new version of MC (with minor issues) I hope you will focus your skills on a huge request from my side to make MC even better.
We are planning to have the first workable 64-bit version by the end of the summer of 2011.
Is there a roadmap?
Just the same old question… Do you have a roadmap? Is there an ETA for the 64 version? Any new news you can share? I am really looking forward to that.
