SC, For some time now I've been dealing with some graphic instability on one chart. I refer to it as my execution chart. It is the only chart on this instance of SC. There are no other charts, or chartbooks open on this instance. This Execution Chart is an intraday NQM25 chart, MNQM25_FUT_CME Trade and Current Quote, use as trade only symbol, 10 days loaded, Renko Bar (in ticks), Renko Bricks with Wicks The machine is a PC, Windows 11, updated yesterday. There have been two issues. I thought they were both attributable to a problem with my display adapter(s) (Nvidia T1000 8GB). ALL drivers, from the motherboard bios to the display adapters have been updated. The first issue is screen blanking. I have three monitors on one adapter, two on the other. The adapter with three screens, one of which includes my Execution chart, will go blank periodically, then come back to life within a few seconds. The other is what I'm referring to as graphic instability, or shaky graphics. When I move my mouse off the screen on which the Execution chart resides, then back over the Execution chart, the graphics on the chart will shake, or move momentarily. Some days it seems worse (more vibrating) than others. I had attributed both of these to display adapter issues. Prior to today I spent some time updating drivers, but the problems still existed. Today I spent time on line with Nvidia, updated my motherboard bios, reinstalled clean versions of NVidia drivers. The blanking hasn't reappeared, but the unstable graphics on my Execution chart were still there. I detached the chart window and moved it to a monitor being powered by the other display adapter, and the problem remained. At this point I had narrowed the graphics issue down to this chart. Next I assumed it might be an ACS. I duplicated the chart and removed all the studies, but the problem remained. I then rebuilt the chart from scratch. I worked my way through each of the Chart Settings Menus mimicking the problem chart settings on to the new chart. When I was done, there was no instability. I then moved on to mimicking the Chart Menu settings from the problem chart to the new chart. When I got to the Trade Menu and selected "Chart Trade Mode On", the graphics demonstrated the same problem. I then disabled "Chart Trade Mode On" at my original Execution Chart and the problem went away. There's some issue with the Chart Trade Mode, and I have no idea what it is. I assume you'll want the chart (attached).https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=174733126682.png Thank you. Edit: I'm not sure if my "blinking/blanking" issue is caused by this chart issue or not, and I'm not asking you to solve that issue. But the graphic instability issue is obvious. Also, I cannot specifically determine if it is the "Chart Trade Mode On", or the "Trading Chart DOM On" that's causing the issue. I can tell you, if I play around with it too much, it throws enough of an error to shut down and restart my machine. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-05-15 18:04:09
