Hi, I have been running a SC chartbook with Excel spreadsheet study on a local machine using Win8.1 with processor Intel i5 @ 3.5GHz & 16MB memory. CPU usage is high. I have recently switched to a virtual server running Win Server 2012 with 32MB memory and quadcore processors @ 3.0GHz, but the performance I get from SC is worse to the point of unusable... Do you have a version of SC for Win Server? Do you have any advice for using on a virtual machine? The only other difference is that the local machine uses 32-bit Excel, whereas the server uses 64-bit. Any comments? Many thanks |

Are you actually using Excel? Or the Sierra Chart built-in spreadsheets? There does not need to be a version for windows server. That will not make any difference. The general way to improve Spreadsheet performance is to follow the instructions here: Auto Trade System Back Testing: Improving Back Test Performance of Spreadsheet Trading Systems The information there applies even if you are not performing back testing. Another thing you can do is increase the Chart Update Interval: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_GeneralSettings.html#CUI Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
