Hello,

You won't have lockups if you used other data feed.
I have 16 windows open simultaneously with IB and eSignal without any single problem.

Best regards,

  TJ:  OK, thanks for the detailed explanation.  I have had only one chart open and it has run fine (no lockups).

  Of course, I noticed that I could have different time intervals in each chart, which was more convenient that having one chart open and changing both SYMBOL and TIME interval.  But....convenience with lockups is not convenience at all.

  Ken,

  You need to understand that you are not opening TABS. You are opening CHARTS. 
  Each chart you open consumes computer resources.
  And if you are opening lots of them and you work in real time it means that all those extra
  charts you have opened need to be refreshed when new data come in. 

  And when you are working with QuoteTracker - yes it makes big difference because
  QuoteTracker link is HTTP (web based) which means that data are transmitted in plain
  web protocol which is slow. And if you do that for lots of symbols it may lock up your machine.

  So do not open extra charts/tabs just for fun. Especially when you work with QT as data source.
   Open them only when you really need them.
  There is no need to put all the stuff open all the time. It is definitely *not* good idea to 
  open extra charts just for different symbols/time frames when you can have the same effect
  by simply switching the symbol - consuming less resources.

    Hmmm.  I really got into the tabs with different symbols, time periods (intraday), etc.  Now, 1/2 hour in, the program is consistently locking up.  End Task, restart, lockup.  End Task, restart, lockup. Numerous times to not seem a coincidence.  Have been running QT and RT AB for weeks and weeks now without incident, including all day yesterday with latest version. Only difference this morning was multiple window tabs open.

    I had saved a bunch (6) tabs in the Default layout, and this last time, I was able to call up another layout without tabs. So far, no lockup.

    anyone else see this on intraday data?  I am feeding the data with QuoteTracker if that makes a difference.
