Subject: RE: TS6 Snafu - Daylight Savings Time
: Update
:
: I did have to UNINSTALL and reinstall fresh to get TS6 to work for me.
But
: there is an interesting twist: If I only import the specific strategies
: required for me to trade (5 or 6) and not all my other custom "stuff" that
I
: use for development and testing, then my 23 chart Workspace starts up just
: fine. If I import all the rest of my custom strategies and indicators
etc.
: it fails again. To verify, I reinstalled TS6 once again and imported only
: required strategies... Works fine...
:
: On a different system for testing I split my 23 chart space to 3
Workspaces.
: with the new rev of TS6 and ALL my custom stuff imported (but not invoked
: anywhere) the 3 Workspaces start successfully if I start them one at a
time.
: All three are open and appear to behave normally. If I open them all at
: once by selecting them from the "open workspace" menu, I get the
: "orchart.exe" program error again.
:
: I can reproduce the failure using the generic MACD Strategy as well, so I
: know it's not my custom strategy. It appears to be tied to
:
: a)the number of charts to be opened simultaneously
:
: b)and/or number of EL "files"
:
: c) and/or problem with EL code imported from previous build
:
: I spent 90 minutes on the phone with a TRAD tech, and while we got my
system
: up and running he suggested the following:
: - cut and paste the EL text into another file and verify. He says that he
: has seen imported ELD files NOT work on a new build until this
: cut-from-old-paste-to-new-and-verify process has been done. Whatever.
I'll
: check it out when I get a chance.
:
: * What I find interesting is that once I have the system up, running and
: apparently stable, if I import my other techniques, the original failure
of
: my production Workspace (23 Charts) to open reappears EVEN IF THE NEWLY
: IMPORTED TECHNIQUES ARE NOT INVOKED, ANYWHERE IN TS6. Who'd have thought
: that the mear "bulk" of uninvoked EL code could screw things up?
:
: I'd continue to isolate this problem further, but my test system is
: unavailable for the next couple of days, and I'm not going to send my good
: system into the crapper fiddling with this... Must trade.
:
: There was a new release (build 522) yesterday, so they must have found
: something to fix. I'm running it today and it appears to be OK... I'll
: test it to see if I can break it once I have a test system.
:
: Thanks to all respondents to this thread. I'll update with more as I
learn.
