  As a 
  programmer, it tells me that the indicator has been coded inefficiently.  
  Without seeing the code, I can't be more specific, but there are some standard 
  mistakes I see over and over again leading to inefficient EasyLanguage 
  code.  For example, very often I see code where some particular 
  calculation is repeated over and over again with the same parameters, 
  instead of calling the function once, storing the result in a variable, and 
  then referencing the stored value as necessary.  
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2> 
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2>High-level languages like C++ or Delphi have "optimizing compilers" 
  that will automatically analyze the code and find the most efficient way to 
  implement it.  TS does no optimization by itself.  So it's up to the 
  programmer to think through what the code is doing and find the most efficient 
  way to get it done.  Doing this well can make a huge difference in the 
  ability to actually run an indicator in real time.  
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2> 
  If 
  you're willing to share the code with the group, I and others can take a look 
  at it and make suggestions.  If not, you either need to learn how to do 
  this kind of optimization yourself, or find someone who will do it for 
  you.  I agree that your computer should be more than adequate to run 
  virtually any indicator if it's efficiently programmed, and throwing more 
  hardware at the problem is not the best way to solve it.
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

  Wait 
  - there's one other possibility.  What is the CPU usage on your machine 
  (Task Manager in Win NT/2000/XP) when *nothing* is running?  You may have 
  some other process running on your machine that is eating up all your 
  processing cycles.  For example, I've seen old DOS programs running under 
  Windows that will do an infinite loop while waiting for a keystroke.  
  They "eat" the entire CPU in the process, slowing down all other running 
  applications enormously.  When there is no other activity, your CPU usage 
  should show as close to 0% - if it's still high, then that's the source of 
  your problem.

    so that tells you....even if i have it turned 
    off, that this program is too much for my pc?.....the no indicator set to 
    every tick function?

        Re: [RT] TS 2000i ....slow data
        Upgrade that 
        turkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!
         
        <A 
        href="http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=s450-3022&SRCCODE=WEM378Z";>http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=s450-3022&SRCCODE=WEM378Z
         
        Here is a link to a computer using an AMD 
        XP-2000 (1.66 GHz actual clock speed) processor for $260.00.  
        This is a "bare bones kit" which means that it does not include drives ( 
        hard, floppy, CD or DVD).  You simply unplug your existing drives 
        and install them in your new computer (not hard to do). It also does not 
        include Video card or modem.  The modem you have is probably 
        fine unless it is very old, however the video card is probably junk 
        unless you have recently up-graded it.  You need at least a 64 Mg. 
        card ($49.95) for graphic applications such as charting.  It 
        includes 124 MB DDR memory and is upgradeable to 3 GB!!!!  An 
        additional 256 MB of memory is $70.00.  <A 
        href="http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=tc1-ddr-256";>http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=tc1-ddr-256  
        You can add 2 of these if you wish or go to 512 MB for $173 each <A 
        href="http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?sku=K43-1904";>http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?sku=K43-1904 and 
        keep an open slot for future addition.
         
        The advantage of a "bare bones 
        kit", besides the low price, is that since you are keeping your 
        existing hard drive the new computer will immediately have all your 
        programs, files, old e-mails, links, shortcuts, in other words 
        everything, loaded.  The disadvantage is you will need to plan 
        to have a weekend available to swap the drives.  It will probably 
        take less time but allow 2 days just in case.
         
        Back up everything.  You should not 
        have any problems but if an accident occurs (drop the hard drive and 
        it's a door stop) it is better to be safe.
         
        Now you just have to convince the wife you 
        REALLY need a new computer instead of that gold necklace. One bad 
        trade because of a slow (or frozen) computer will cost you more than the 
        $400.00 spent to upgrade.
         
        Good luck and good trading,
         
        Ray Raffurty
         
        P.S.  I have no association with Tiger 
        Direct except as a customer.  Also they have other kits and 
        complete computers that might suite you better so check out the web 
        site.

          data
          
          I am using TS 2000i on a Pentium 700 
          machine on a chart with a fairly big and complicated els file that is 
          good at identifying trends. The size of the file seems to slow down 
          the drawing of the chart. The chart is usually a few minutes behind 
          the actual price. I know it is the els file that is slowing it down 
          because a blank chart seems to work fine. I recently upgraded from 240 
          to 640 mbs of memory and that did seem to help, but only a little. A 
          friend has the same study on a machine with less memory and it seems 
          to work Ok. Its too bad because the siftware has been very 
          helpful.
           
          Any suggestions?
