Performance Problem
Posted: Aug 15 2006
Hi there,
With regards to downloading data - this is ok.
What it is doing (as far as I understand) is running through all the ticks on the local database ticks and calculating (on the fly) each tick bar. So, for example, if I load a 30 tick chart, it runs through every 30 ticks to calculate the high, low, open and close.
The performance is really bad. So, to be sure, I opened up Quote Manager to ensure that I had the tick data I am after. Data loaded and stored no problem.
Then I opened up a new chart and specified that I ONLY want to connect to the local database (3rd option). It took 6 minutes to load a small 30 tick chart.
I use 3 tick charts PER workspace - with 3 - 7 workspaces!!!. I certainly cannot wait that long just to open 1 chart.
I am hoping this is a setting misconfiguration on my part or a quick fix of some kind. If not, I will have to pass on MC as a viable platform.
Please let me know when you get a chance - I love everything else, so this would be a real shame.
