How many days you store all data tick by tick /it is possible set it there/? I have usually open about 20 charts by 2 days no problem but by 5 days it simple freezes.

do you have enough video ram? have you checked your video card? maybe this is the bottleneck?

I assume you have DSL or cable? Maybe your ISP is spacing out since your feed is starting and stopping in a strange manner.

As I have mentioned before computing power is not the problem. I have previously had 50 charts streaming at the same time along with other programs running. Feed does not seem to be the problem. It is the QT program itself that freezes, not the feed stream. But if need be I intend to get IQFeed to walk me through a diagnostics process.

Thanks for your contributions...
 
ljyoung suggested that my RAM might be faulty. I have done some searching and found a Microsoft page that suggested that most RAM problems are solved simply by reseating the RAM sticks. I have done this and am waiting for the market to open to see if that solves the problem - will know in a few minutes...
 
Well reseating the RAM sticks didn't work. May pull some sticks out to see if I can discover whether one is faulty.
 
Had IQFeed walk me through a diagnostics on my feed and they tested my connection from their end - everything passed with flying colors.

Spoken by someone that obviously doesn't know what they are talking about. Anyone that has ever PAID for E-Signal knows full well how bad that software platform and data-feed is.

Can you please tell us what kind of a computer you are using, how much RAM, what kind of a processor, and what kind of video cards you are using . . . just so that we can get a "base" idea of what you are working with?

Then, please do a "trace-route" from your DOS prompt back to the IP address of your data-feed provider and let us know what the latency is over each transfer hop.

Also, in QT go to "Options" then "Preferences" then "Miscellaneous" and check to see what kind of a "stock refresh rate" value you have set.

Thanks.
 
After reading through this thread, it seems there might be some confusion as to what the problem actually is. Many people are suggesting network related issues but you say that the feed continues running, it is just your charts that hang. How do you know this? Do you have a watchlist open as well and can see prices updating?

From my experience, what you describe sounds like the CPU is getting pegged. If you watch the task manager when you have the problem, what is the average CPU usage? What is the max?, what is the RAM usage during the spikes? What programs are initiating the spikes?

How many datapoints do each of your charts show at one time?
How frequently do they update (tick charts, minute charts, daily charts)? Do they have a "current price" indicator? Since you are using IQFeed (which provides tick-by-tick data), does it update with every tick or only on price changes, or only X times per second (I am not sure if there are options to change this in QT)?
