30 Mar 2017, 22:14
hi, i m noticing that ctrader desktop ir really pushing my laptop under pressure.
i have win 10 and 8gb ram. with mt4 i had no problem running the platform with many chart open.
with ctrader the ram often goes to 600mb usage and the cpu is ranging from 6% to 20%
keeping open different charts. but i need to keep them open , i want to see trades opportunities.
is there a way to have it wotking smoothly without this issues???

Hi Mat,
If you plan to trade with cTrader than I would purchase more RAM, 8GB should be fine as it should not often go above 1GB unless you back-test or run some heavy memory usage custom cBots.
As with most modern software, it uses more memory and modern PC's are also more powerful these days, MT4 was created using an older Microsoft technology, so it would use less memory, but with the latest technology that cTrader was built with, it allows a smoother and richer experience for the user.
If you really want to keep your memoryin check than you can use the free alarm manager app which has a memory flusher that clears the cache of cTrader when it reaches your machines memory limit or is affecting the performance of the platform while trading.
