Resource release/disposal problem for Strategy Analyzer and Market Analyzer

[sajosh]

Darn. Nice of you to look into it JoshG.


Do you have an answer for my last paragraph beginning with, "Second similar problem is with MA..." in post number 1?

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

Not a problem. I have mentioned this all to QA and you will not be able to force garbage collection in any capacity for these items, even the MA. This is the answer provided to me so that is as much detail as I am able to offer.

No JoshG.



MA does release resources when I close the MA window or workspace, as expected.


My question is why does it take MA the same amount of time to release resources as it does for it to build the MA. For example, from the moment I add a list of instrument to the time MA is completely done all calculations, it takes 30 minutes. Then when I exit MA or workspace, it takes another 30 minutes before NT is available again. During that time NT is in "Not responding" mode most of the time with brief periods of availability.



Is there a bug?





Just trying to help NT8 become more stable.

Hello sajosh,

That is not behavior I would expect. I would like to investigate this particular item further with you if possible.

You should be able to reproduce this on a clean NT8.15.1 by



Opening MA,
Add many many complicated indicators
Add hundreds of stocks (Record the start time once stocks are added)

With the right additions above, MA should run for 30 minutes to process everything
Watch Task Manger to see NT's CPU usage go to < 1% that means MA is finished
Record the time it took
Now close MA or Workspace
Record the closing time

Watch Task Manager NT CPU go above 80% for the same amount of time
Once NT CPU is below 1% then record time it took

You'll also notice NT is "Not responding" until MA resources are completely freed




I'm trying to create a new one for you but just haven't had the time so in the mean time perhaps you can create it.

Hello sajosh,

Thank you for your patience.

I am unable to reproduce this behavior. I will send you an email requesting the needed files.
