Thanks for the tip! That was enough encouragement for me to spent 15
minutes trying to find the TS2k knowledge base (it seems every time Omega
Research does a website redesign, the TS2k support area gets harder and
harder to find).
Document 685 talks about excessive redraws due to volume info w/Esignal
E-mini contracts. Following instructions in the article, using ES Z2=2
works well again, although I have no idea why I didn't have the same
redraw/processor usage problem with ES Z2 even after I removed the night
session from the symbol.
I've been runing TS6 as well, but I figure I might as well keep both TS's
running since TS6 seems to have lots of hiccups (last night TS6 refused to
give me more than 5 bars of daily data on any indices!)
