Mats,
I'm having the same problem with TS2000. I'm an End-of-Day trader and I
have a working system on SuperCharts 4 which I trade every day. Every
evening I update trades by running the chart scanner feature in SC 4. It
take a few minutes to scan through 40 futures contracts. With TS2000 it
takes hours and hours. The TS2000 help file says because it has to open the
workspaces and this takes a long time. Thus you should schedule the scan in
the middle of the night with the scheduler. For me this is not a practical
solution. Therefore I'm using TS2000 strictly for the PowerEditor to
develop trading systems and SC 4 to do all the work.
My opinion is that speeding up TS2000 code using C++ DLL code or other
tricks may not produce any speed improvements due to the fact that TS2000
takes such a long time to open a workspace.
I hope this helps .... Marlowe
