Platform – Hogging RAM

  Anybody notice that your mouse gets jumpy / jittery after you have had PRT Platform open for a few hours and you have been doing  a few optimising backtests etc?

  I’ve not had any issues like this for 12 months or more, but in the last 2 months or so it is driving me mad again … like old (bad) times !!!

  When I check the RAM usage using Task Manager then PRT is using > 2.3GB of RAM. If I close all screens down and just leave the File thro to Help Menu screen then PRT still is using > 2.3GB, i.e PRT does not release RAM after using it at some point!?

  When I first open PRT then it is uses around 500MB of RAM, but it creeps up to > 2.3GB!

  Maybe the old RAM HOG Issue / Gremlin has crept back in again during the 6 Jul 19 update??

  Not hogging RAM (743MB) but I just had to Task Manager out as the Platform was doing weird stuff!

  Well not doing stuff … wouldn’t allow me to open a NEW System in the Indicators and Systems / BT window (just dead / no responcse) and also wont close the Platform via File, Quit so I had to crash out!

  Anybody getting weird stuff this morning??

  EDIT / PS

  Out and back in again and seems fine now.

  Thanks for saying @fifi743 as I sometimes feel guilty that it is only me and I’m always moaning! 🙂

  We wouldn’t mind if only PRT put up a alert screen with a warning  when we log on or even had a status screen on the PRT website and the same goes for IG … as we never know who is responsible most of the time?

  I’ll try and remember to exit and save often as you have lost work this morning … losing work is so damned annoying and can put us in a bad mood for the rest of the day!? 🙁

  Platform is not even saving as it is supposed to!

  I clicked / confirmed I wanted to save changes by clicking the x in the top right corner after making a change via the coding window  and also clicked save after File, Quit.

  Guess what … work lost, save was not executed!

  So beware fellow coders … today is not a good day to be coding!

  Well weird stuff just happened … like half screens, well not half but outlines of a screen but no content!

  Also controls not responding so I had to use Task Manager to close the Platform!

  I had run a System and so it was listed in the Indicators and Trading Systems screen, the System was not there when I opened the Platform after exiting using Task Manager!

  Early night I think might the wisest move! 🙂

  I had a sudden demo platform crash close yesterday as well as a very slow responding platform prior to that crash close. At the time I was working with a very graphic heavy 200 line heat map that I was developing.

  Well weird … certain actions that will not respond at all when I click and yet other actions work fine.

  Ans this time it’s NOT due to high RAM usage (702.4 MB only) as I had to crash out and as soon as I logged back in it was the same … some actions, e.g. Export … not responding at all!

  Anybody else getting similar weird symptoms tonight??

  PS

  Even weirder … will Import but not Export!!
