I was wondering if anybody knew of a way I could figure out which indicators on my charts use up what percentage of processing power?
Normally I run a profile with 6 tiled windows / time frames of the same currency. All 6 have a variety of indicators. Switching profiles (currencies) takes ages. So I figured I'd run 3 instances of MT4 and cycle between windows rather than profiles. Problem is that the terminal(s) become horrendously slow - 4 instances ends up in one or more becoming unresponsive.
System wise I'm running a new i7 processor, 24GB RAM, Win 7, along with other decent specs.
Any ideas? Is MT4 generally a system hog when it's "pushed" a little? How many instances can I expect to run per machine? Seems the pipbank is going to have to pony up for some new gear this Christmas
PS - I'm running the latest builds and the log files contain no errors. Also tried to limit the number of bars per chart to 5000 but that hasn't done much either.
Cheers,
