Hi
I got a single chartbook, 6 intraday charts at different timeframes, two market profiles, and quoteboard with 10 symbols, linked to charts. I got drawings and studies on my charts. All my intraday charts use day/evening sessions, and customized session times. Streaming data from SC - all Services, and with or without connection to IB Trading Service, doesn't matter, equally slow.
SC is too slow to load when I switch from one symbol to the other. It seems that every time I switch it downloads data all over again. Doesn't it store the data in cache or local memory or something? I think I heard something about it in Infinity Futures youtube. Is tere a setting somewhere to store in local memory instead of reloading everytime? It was them who recommended to use a single chartbook with a quoteboard instead of several chartbooks, for performance sake. Would you say that this is indeed the better option? But it takes too long swithching symbols. Please advise. thanks

Refer to help topic 30:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often

It seems that every time I switch it downloads data all over again.
No that is not the case.

In general this is not relevant one way or another. What does count is how many charts are visible at a time. The less the better.

What will help most is a fast computer with NVME drives. And following the advice in help topic 30.
