if it's any help in the slightest, version 1 has no cpu usage issues for me at all (actually reads between 0-2% cpu usage).
Not sure what's changed or been added since v1

I have 8 month old PC with 5i processor and 3Gb memory. It was not able to handle more than 4 opened by FS 1h trades, each trade increased CPU usage 20%, with 4 opened trades I had 80-100%. I had to delete FS from charts of opened trades and manage them by MPTM. :roll:
I think I found solution, I have now two open positions by FS1h with EA on the charts and 24 charts with FS and my CPU 3-10% and plus 3 platforms, yesterday in the same situation it was 50-60%.
I deleted EA from the platform in EA Navigator, closed all charts and than the platform. Installed an EA as on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ8eNE-cFSA&noredirect=1.
I think I was wrong compiling EA after coping it to expert folder and open EA file there, I don't know why I was doing compiling of EA's this way, but all EA's were working without any problems and profits.
I had to close previously opened trades because if I applied EA on charts CPU usage jumped to to 60%. Now new two trades and 24 charts are running smoothly with 5-10%.
It was my first post here, sorry for my English.

Hi Guys,

I set my StackDistancePips=0 which turns this off. The CPU usage dropped dramatically. So there is something in the LookForStackTradingOpps() function that is resource intensive. I have been looking, but nothing obvious stands out at me. Thanks - TCO.

TCO, thanks -- that confirms I'm looking in the right place. Have you tried running my test EA?

Buza, your comment is very interesting. I didn't realize the CPU usage went up with each additional trade. That wouldn't fit with what I thought might be the problem.

I don't understand your comment about how to compile the EA. The video you linked did it the standard way -- put the EA into the experts folder, open it in MetaEditor, compile. How were you doing it before??

Yes, it is correct and regular way to compile EA, my mistake was: after copy the file of EA into expert folder I was opening this file there " by" Meta Editor ( not from menu of working platform) and compiled this EA by pressing "Compile" and it always was working but not with FS.
