TOO MUCH INFORMATION
07 Oct 2017, 07:15


Hi there CTraders

 

Just a quick question .

I recently finished writing  an indicator when I noticed that the   " MarketSeries.Close.Count " was continually climbing .

In a short period of time the Count was well over 300,000  and still climbing.

Now for those who don,t know,, that means that I now have the  information of all MarketSeries Information (eg.. high,low,open,close)  of the last 300,000 candles stored on my computer , which by my calculation is over 200 days of information .

My question is ...WHY ???  And is there any way to limit it ???

I only wanted to to Know the Close.Price 20 candles ago.

This might be part of the reason why CALGO and CTRADER compared to other platforms are so heavy with their RAM usage.

 Ctrader and Calgo continue to use increased amounts of RAM on the weekend when there is no new information being created.  ( I have TaskManager running all the time )

( Every weekend Calgo crashes my VPN unless I turn it off)

It seems to me that they just keep downloading more an more BackData.( When does it stop ???)

I know of other Platforms that ask you how far back you wish to access BackData to Display at any one time.

(Eg... ....! day ....3 days.....1 week ......1 month ......3 months.....) 

This would be a Simple Solution to A Serious Problem

(As I sit here typing , the  " MarketSeries.Close.Count " has risen to 343,495 and Calgo is using of 1.6 GB of Ram and rising  while MQ4 is using 87 MB  ( I run both programs on three separate  computers ...Results are always the same)

( I know that the comparison of MQ4 and SpotWare RAM usage  has been discussed before but has it ever really been addressed .?..... How is it justified that i can run 15 instances of Meta4  for  1 instance of Calgo .)

Any FeedBack would be much appreciated.
