We had a quick look now at your cpp code, and there is nothing there of any concern. Thank you for looking. What is the size of the intraday data file you are back testing with? NQZ18.scid is only 215,033 KB When you check the SierraChart.exe process in the Windows Task Manager at the time of this problem, what is its memory use? I've shutdown most other programs on my computer and reran the above chart book with my custom indicator. I can report the following results from the Task Manager: SierraChart_64.exe (SC) starts off at 0% CPU and 40MB Memory. During the 1st replay of 3 days (Sept 26 - 28, 2018 @ 15min) the CPU maxes out at 14% while the memory steadly grows to 1,530 MB. After the replay ends, SC's memory does not reduce. So when I start the 2nd 3 day replay, the memory continues to grow from 1,530 MB to over 3k MB. Each subsequent replay increases the memory used by SC until my computer crashes. What we suspect at this point in time is that there is another program on your system causing a lot of memory use maybe when Sierra Chart is reading an Intraday data file. Perhaps the operating system. While I'm running SC, no other program in Task Manager exceeds 1% CPU or Memory of 150 MB.
