I run 3 instances at the same time with no problems but over the last 2 days the 3rd instance start to run very slowly (unusable) from around the middle of the day onwards. Never had this issue before. When it for happened the first time yesterday it started glitching (non-responsive then responsive for a few seconds then non responsive again). I had to shut down instance 3 and restart, would be ok for 10-15min then start slowing down again. Today its happening again after halfway through the day and unusable. Main and 2nd instance are fine. Any ideas? Note - I restarted SC completely today just in case it was an issue but still happening.

You should never have to restart Sierra Chart for an issue like this. Other programs in the world require restarting but not Sierra Chart.

It may help to reload charts, after they have been running a long time, like many days or months to reduce the amount of days loaded in them. This can be done with Edit >> Reload Intraday Charts.

For help with the issue you have, refer to:
