Hi support,

I am not sure whether I should start a new thread or continue this one.
The GDI leak seems fixed but, the last 3 days (today and yesterday particularly) I am still intermittently experiencing issues 1 & 2 from the original post.

I have been through help topic 30 and help topic 4, so far I don't believe there to be a problem with the data delivery, but instead possibly data processing at my end.

NOTE - the issues only present in the instance of SC that is used with tick-by-tick futures data, I have not noticed problems with a separate instance used for FX data with 5 second data storage time unit.


To my knowledge there have been no changes at my end, aside from windows updates, updating Sierra Chart and following the suggestions in topic 30 to make chartbooks more efficient.

I don't really understand why the recent issues have arisen for me, but would really like to find a solution.

Can you make any suggestions at all?

Should I roll back to an earlier version of sierra?
Should I upgrade my hardware (currently running win 7, i7-4790k, 32gb ram, 2 instances of Sierra on separate SSDs)?
Could I be doing something wrong that can easily be remedied?
