Why does MC 5/2 load so slow?
Why does MC 5/2 load so slow?
Starting up MC takes different amounts of time... sometimes it goes quick, sometimes it takes several minutes...why??

Hi guys,
I am not sure you are all talking about the same thing.
Are you talking about the situation where you have MC logo on your screen and it takes a while till the program's main window is shown?
Or are you talking about charts taking a long time to backfill when you bring up your workspaces? In case of long chart backfilling time: what data provider are you using? What resolution and how many bars (what period) are you requesting?
Thank you in advance for the info.

Yes, backfilling. Transact. Any resolution: 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1000 contracts, etc. Max 7 days.Hi guys,

No, I am talking about seeing the MC Logo on the screen and then it takes minutes until the program's main window is shown. It happens often, is irregular... sometimes it goes faster, sometimes it takes more than a minute or two...Hi guys,

The delay you are talking about occurs because of the slow connection to your database. It depends on the size of your database and only happens on the first start of the program.No, I am talking about seeing the MC Logo on the screen and then it takes minutes until the program's main window is shown.

This behavior will be corrected in future MC versions. At this point, thoug, I don't have an ETA.

[quote]Hi vienna,
Did you start MC the second time after all of its processes have been terminated in Task Manager (MutliCharts.exe, MessageCenter.exe, QuoteManager.exe, tsServer.exe, PLEditor.exe, StudyServer.exe, TradingServer.exe)?[/quote]

Just to re-inforce what vienna is saying. I see exactly the same thing after shutdowns and re-starts. I seems like it has something to do with how much data was collected because if you just immediately close and wait for all process then start it will start right up. But when you collect data, shut down wait for processes to close and re-open it takes a long long time.

Yes I did. Sometimes it takes half an hour for all these to shut down.Hi vienna,

When I first start MC in the morning, it takes a few seconds.
After I download some data, and I have shut it down and waited for all the other stuff to close, it can take forever. And sometimes, it just hangs and never starts up.
Hi, how many symbols / charts do you have in your MC?Yes I did. Sometimes it takes half an hour for all these to shut down.

What is the size of your database? How many symbols in your database? What do you request before you close and restart MultiCharts again? How many symbols do you request data for? What is the resolution? What is the period over which you request data?
Thank you.
