I already have valid historical data, but it seems like NT wants to download and overlay this .
Both IB and OpenTick are slow backfillers, so this action for NT is a real pain.
And it can and does lockup NT from time to time.. especially if I get impatient and try opening another chart. This starts another backfill .. and that often locks NT up and I have to kill it via XP TaskMgr
I've attached a MarkAnalyzer template that will help show the problem.
Nothing special, just 3 columns with a 5//15/60 minute CCI
And I only have about 8 instruments in it.
Try this ..
Open 3 charts .. say YM, ER2, and 6E (euro)
Add this Mkt Analyzer
Connect to Opentick ...
IF NT survives this (50/50 for me) then disconnect and reconnect OpenTick
You get the same wait again.
Infact, you get wait just changing periods .. from 5 to 10 to 1 minutes for example.
Which is bad, as the minute data is already in the DB.
Change the symbol on a chart while it's got the 'data loading'
for the Mkt Analyzer .. usually good for a hangup.
I don't get any hangs if NT is not connected to a feed. It uses the historical data in the DB as expected.
