Thanks Jean Pierre, I have aToshiba Laptop Intel Core i 5-2450 M, CPU 2.5 GHZ, 4 GB ram and is a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits.
What the seller is telling me is that either I need an independent video card or internet service above 5 mbs.
My freezing happens on the peak hours only and sometimes in the evenings, acording to the seller to many quotes downloading within a narrow band. I should try 25 or 50 mbs but is more expensive.
Hey pips - before you go spending a load of cash you should know that I have a PC designed especially for trading Intel i7 (quad core??) with 16GB ram, SSD boot drive, large independent graphics card (actually 2) and fibre optic 25MB/s+ internet access. I still have slow downs at peak times and I have reduced the number of bars etc etc
I actually think that the issue is with the indicators themselves - or more accurately Empty4 and how it deals with indis. I
think (Baluda/Steve/coders please advise) that indicators do whatever it is they do every tick (and presumably cannot do their thing every bar close like an EA can). The ONLY time I have any slow downs is when there is high tick volume - e.g. around news, London/NYC opens etc If you try doing anything during the Asian session or where markets are closed i.e when the tick volume is low, or there is none, you will see zero lag with whatever you want to look at/change timeframe etc etc
If this assumption re. the limitations of Empty4/indis is not correct could some genius coder please just set the 10.4/10.5 indis to do their thing each M1 bar close?
I hope this saves you spending a heap of cash then finding out you still have almost the same problem.
Cheers,
Dave.
