cTrader runaway RAM usage. Computer unresponsive. How do I do a clean restart?
cTrader runaway RAM usage. Computer unresponsive. How do I do a clean restart?
28 Aug 2024, 18:54
I was coding a really simple indicator, like 5 lines of code, just a simple text box, and suddenly the cTrader process started gobbling up all the RAM on my computer.
It went all the way up to 21G RAM usage, and I had to force restart Windows because everything froze.
After the reboot I restart cTrader, and it does EXACTLY THE SAME THING. It uses so much memory that Windows freezes.
I cannot start cTrader any more at all.
Every time I start it it gobbles up all available RAM and Windows freezes because of it.
How do I reset my installation without losing my code?
Is there a startup option so it does not synchronize the workspace from the network?
I think the workspace is corrupt, and when it loads the workspace from the network, it goes haywire.
Please help. I have open trades which I cannot mange at all now.
Thank you.

You will most certainly have a cBot or indicator-consuming memory, I would remove all of them and add each one until you find out the culprit. You can also download a 14-day trial of the cTrader memory manager tool to help you.

Hi there,
Just save your code in a txt file, delete the indicator and restart your cTrader. Check if your indicator was the source of the problem.
