Hi  Panagiotis,  I appreciate your early reply, thanks Panagiotis.

I am only using my custom indicators. 

 I also observd that when i had no instance open, the CPU was still very busy, 0% to 25%. All my indicators had been previously been succesfully compiled with no errors. This suggests to me the new update is trying to recompile the indcators; There is no way i can go back and change all the indicators to not use the obsolete API. That would take just too long.

After the new version download & the problem i encounted with slow scrolling of chart, I removed all the indicators except few, out of the cAlgo/Sources/Indicators folder. I closed all instances except one,   & i  had 8  indicators open below this chart (I opened the same indicator again and again, 8 times).  There was no improvement. Scrolling along the charts was not possible.

It appears that some of the problem may be with the slow implementation of your new API , in particular the new "Chart.DrawVerticalLine", & the obsolete "ChartObjects.DrawVerticalLine", ie as below:

      //Chart.DrawVerticalLine("endSell" + ind, ind, Color.Yellow, 3, LineStyle.Solid);
      //ChartObjects.DrawVerticalLine("endSell" + ind, ind, Colors.Yellow, 3, LineStyle.Solid);

When i disabled these as shown, the problem disappeared, and i could scroll smoothly along the chart with 8 open indicators.  The newer Chart.DrawVerticalLine would crash my indicator when i had 8 indicators open; the obsolete ChartObjects.DrawVerticalLine wont crash it, but strangely,  was far slower than how it performed before the Ctrader update of last week. These vertical lines are the essence of my indicators, aiding me to analyse and experiment in building my final strategy, which i was very close to before this problem stopped everything for me.

I am using : Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 - 3320M   2.60 GHz    2.60 GHz.        RAM of 8.GB.   Display adapter are: Intel(R) HD Graphics 400 (updated drivers) & RealTek WiFi Display VGA adapter (  updated driver).

If the problem in faster implementatiion of the newer API can't be solved,  or whatever the problem is cant be solved, can i possibly please, use the previous version for building and experimenting.  Then when i am ready to  build my final indicators that wont use these graphiccal visual tools, i will use the newer version of CTrader, Calgo. The last version was working just fine for me. This is totally not.

Thanking you for you assistence very much, i advance.
