Our custom indicators, which use a compiled DLL, seem to make the OEC trader exe use a ton of RAM when the user has a bunch of charts in the workspace, and when the user lets trader app stay open and ticking for hours and hours, etc. Perhaps its a configuration file in OEC thats getting too large. Im not sure.

Any ideas?

John,
We'll need more information on how RAM is accumulating so high. According to Developers "Indicators are not limited in memory usage." When I open up your indicators with many charts, I do not have such issue. Can you email us the workspace file that produces this effect? Go to File > Workspaces > Save As and email me the file.

Chris, thanks for your reply. We have a client, a bit of a power user...he's having the issue, particularly when he lets the exe run live with ticks coming in. He did say changing symbols/intervals can make it worse as well. His workspace has been emailed directly to you. I also have a screenshot of trader.exe's RAM usage on his machine, that he sent in, if you need to see it -- it was approaching 5GB. I appreciate any tips you can give. This is a complaint that is new to us.
