Post From: Market Depth Historical Graph - How to Reducing Memory Usage?

Hi SC support, I've reviewed the Market Depth Historical Graph documentation and the Improving Performance section, but the available options (Days to Load, Maximum Levels to Display, Chart Update Interval) do not fully address my situation. I'm running two Market Depth Historical Graph charts (ES and NQ) with Days to Load set to 1 and the Graph Historical Market Depth Data Time Period set to 100ms, as I need to capture short-term order book changes. I understand that increasing this to 500ms or 1s would reduce memory, but that would defeat the purpose for my use case. Currently Sierra Chart is using about 16 GB of memory. There is no lag or performance issue — the software runs great. I'm just looking for ways to reduce memory usage while keeping the 100ms time resolution. Are there any other recommended settings or approaches I may be overlooking? For example, would something like limiting the loaded data to only the most recent 1-2 hours instead of the full trading day be possible? Thank you. |
