Fans? You think it might be overheating? Well, I guess I can put a temp gauge on
it but it seems OK. And you reckon I should clean out the dust with a vacuum
cleaner too, I guess. I did that 2 years ago, so it won't hurt. As for the temp
that it runs at, it's an old CPU without a built-in gauge on the CPU.
The performance in Task Manager has always been nailed at 100% as soon as I open
the Omega Server - I never thought it would cause problems.
I allocated 4 gigs to the virtual memory.
I recently cleared the hard drive down to free up 10 Gigs, I ran Defrag, I ran
Norton Disk Doctor and scandisk. So it's pretty clean.
And for an old TS4 machine, it's got a pretty good spec.
My tinkering with the system shows that it's not the FileAppend() function
that's failing, it looks like it's this if statement that fails:
if DateToJulian(Date) = LastCalcJDate then
... as if TS4 isn't running the system over the last bar of the data. Or perhaps
even any of the data for that market - even though the chartscanner looks like
it does because it shows that market symbol in the dialog box when scanning.

I never used that feature in TS4 but I would check to see if my
computer is bogging down. Is it clean with all fans running. If you
run your print out with the task manager on see if performance in the
performance tab is nailed at 100% or out of memory. All platforms of
TS are subject to just craping out with no notice if the computer
can't keep up. This is a perfect example. How long have you been
running it without cleaning it? Do you use it for anything other than
the market. Maybe it has spy ware or trojan, virus or just needs a
reinstall of TS4.

Actually today it is so bad that TS4 just now only printed 2 out of the 24 lines
that it should have printed to the file.
This is such a hardcore bug, but I checked the tradestationsecurities.com forum
and couldn't see any mention of such a problem. I guess I'm 8 years too late
with TS4.

Chartscanner in TS4 is causing me problems.
I use FileAppend() in my system to output the results from each run into
a file, which I then import into Excel and generate some further stats
with.
When I run ChartScanner, it loops over my 24 selected markets, and that
should produce a file with 24 lines in it, one for each market.
This works much of the time, for instance all morning and half the
afternoon today, no problem.
But then it started going wrong. Sometimes I will get only 23 lines,
sometimes 19 etc. TS4 randomly fails to write a line to the file. It's
as though FileAppend() doesn't manage to write out its buffer to the
file before TS moves onto the next market.
My only solution so far is to delete the file and re-run the
ChartScanner. If that doesn't work, I close TS4. If that doesn't work, I
close the server too, and then perhaps reboot the whole PC.
Is anyone else familiar with this bug?
Thanks
Adam
