If you are upgrading from Windows XP, our tests indicate that cTrader runs smoothly on Windows 7.

RE:

Thank you for reply.

in case of ctrader Web,

You`d better optimize firefox than chrome.

CPU usage is very low in the firefox.

Windows 8 is not recommended to use with cTrader, because it has bug which affects rendering of charts.

Windows 8.1 is good enough to run cTrader.

CPU Usage

When we have high volatility, like in the news, the CPU is saturated and trading is impossible. This is for the cTrader platform or my broker is a joker? (I'm using W7x64)

RE: CPU Usage

but ctrader is nothing like as bad as meta.

In the high volatility,I had no problem.

Today,Non-farm was announced.

I had trading.

entry/exit no problem.(eurjpy,gbpjpy)

My ram memory was 2GB in ancient times.

I couldn`t ctrader desktop and mt4 or web surfing at the same time.

because cpu is alwasy over 50%.

So i added more 1GB RAM a few day ago.

Now no problem.

But chrome is terrible.

When i use chrome, cpu is always over 50%.

firefox is very low.

I threw away chrome.

I feel the urge to give google a mouthful.

Chrome and Firefox handle multiple tabs differently

hi guys, you need to keep in mind, that the two browser engines have a very different design.  

I tested these browsers too long ago to remember which is which, but one uses less memory at the outset, but may increase dramatically the amount of memory (and CPU usage) as you increase the amount of tabs that are open.  

That is because one will use the same engine to manage all tabs and processes, while the other will multiply the engine running in memory, to better manage a crash situation, conflicts and multi-tasking.  I don't think one approach is better than the other - it's just two different philosophies of achieving their goals with the program.
