The task manager still shows plenty of performance or memory available in the computer so it is not a a limitation in the hardware. Processor running at 30% of performance power and still several gigabytes of memory available.
I tested in two different computers, both running Windows 7. The NT version was R4 and the problem happens in both versions 32 and 64 bits. I did the test with original NT indicators , not custom indicators to make sure there wasn't anything wrong on them. I think this happens on live data feed but with the simulator feed it is very easy to reproduce. If the charts are split in different workspaces the problem does not happen. So this is some kind of limitation within 1 workspace.
To repro this:
I opened 3 different instruments with 100 days of history each, and load in the chart a template with 25 indicators. I can open a total of 6 or 7 charts before I run into the problem. The problem happens only if connected on a feed which is ticking , otherwise NT seems to behave ok, now once is connected to the feed if I try to open a new chart the problem will happen right away.
What I described is how to reproduce this bug, but my normal workspace uses 3 instruments, 5 charts per instrument and about 5 or 6 indicators on each chart, and I have been running in this problem quite often. Initially I thought would be my custom indicators so I decided to try with original NT indicators and the same issue happens. The only way around I have found was either reduce the number of charts or split in several workspaces.
