MC7 crash randomly

Postby felixtjung » 19 Jul 2011

Hi,

I keep getting random crash saying invalid parameter is passed to service or function.

there's also a weird bug that flag order from strategy as manual trading and therefore the auto trading is unusable.

I think MC7 is so unstable.

Your installation might be corrupted.
I would suggest you to uninstall and delete the program,
and start a new installation afresh.

I have the same problem.

When I apply a strategy, MC crashes. When I restart it and reapply the same strategy (with same parameters), everything goes OK.

I tried uninstalling, but with no luck. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit.

Hi,

look for TradingServer / tsserver and ATCenterServer commit size size in Task manager

I had 2 of them with 1.6 - 1.8 Gb. (less than 100 M with MC 6.5)

So I desintalled and back to MC 6.5.

Dear MC team,

I have constantly the same problem. Whenever I load indicators into the scanner I get a message about an error code! Please have a look at the attached file. This error message is very annoying and it is impossible for me tor work properly with the scanner. MC also crashes after the message!!!! What could be the source of error?

eberle lutz,

Do you use custom indicators or default ones? If you use custom studies please send them to support@multicharts.com so we can try to reproduce the issue on our end.

I am getting more crashes than usual with latest version. Quite often when I go to adjust parameters (edit exit parameters) on an open position that I haven't applied exit strategy to yet it will crash about 50% of the time.. not good when you have an open position.. I send all my crashes in so I know you guys are getting the data.

The other crash I get a lot is backtesting when adjusting parameters.

Yesterday I reinstalled my OS (Win 7 Pro 64 Bit) and installed only TS 8.8, Multicharts 7 and Office 2007. No 3rd party Antivirus, Firewall or other software.

Unfortunately this bug still happens when I launch an optimization (30-40% of the time) and when I change a strategy parameter (10% of the time).

I would like to know: do all people who are experiencing this issue have Windows 7? Just wondering whether this bug is also happening under Windows XP.

I've also been having random crashes. Usually happens when i click on a button or open a workspace. Sometimes my entire computer gets locked up and i have to do a reboot. I'll get on live chat when i get a chance.

I have the same problem with MC7 crashing when using the strategies on charttrader. When applying an exit strategy or editing the settings of an strategy, when having a position, it crashes 50% of the time.

Also changing an strategy that is applied to a position is causin a crash. (only with changing setting, not when dragging the trailing limits or something).

I use the latest MC7 with Windows 7 professional 64bit.

I will also go to live chat (there are very helpfull), but wanted to share the problem.
