That PRT needs to shut down is completely understandable. Apart from the memory leaks causing it to use more and more memory ;-(, the charts will contain more and more data. Example : if you start out with 10K unit charts and the unit is 1 second, then each day 86400 bars will add “unnoticed”. And with 30+ charts on-screen, this will add up.
But what PRT Development should think about is that the “18 hour scheme” does not fit anyone (that I can think of);
I am restarting the platforms 2 times per day at least. Not one time. I am like geetrade (and probably may more) – I have PRT open at all times. This means, for example, also when I fall out of bed at any inordinate times. I can not and will not wait for the “several minutes” before all has been fired up finally. And that I use 4 or sometimes 5 PRT instances at the same time … is just a fact.
What do you mean, craziness. 🙁
If PRT would add a lousy 6 hours to their shut down scheme, I would be happy with any procedure I could apply myself. For example, if I deem noon to be a quiet time, I shut down and restart all at ease. Is it 7 in the morning ? fine too. All it requires is me to be there the next day at 7am or else I find myself in front of black screens. So 8 am could be more safe, but will not be convenient because of increasing volatility (starting at ~ 7am).
Throughout the day most moments are inconvenient. Currently always one after the other announces itself for shutdown. It is always interrupting and disturbing.
With 18 hours this one moment never exists. And … during this writing … there we go again … (see attachment). Apparently last time I started this PRT instance was 16:45 yesterday.
Btw with PRT-IB we have 15 minutes to arrange for it (decide for saving settings or not). With PRT-IG situations exist that we have only 2 minutes (promise from a couple of weeks ago : “we will solve that”).
Not sure why I am posting this – anyway I too am annoyed. Day in day out.
