How long did you wait before terminating the Sierra Chart process when you noticed the freezing?

We have released a new revision of 1603. Update again with Help >> Download Prerelease.

When you encounter the issue again, we will need to get the Message Log attached here again.

Make sure you attach the Message Log with the very latest date. It is possible we were looking at an older Message Log. This seemed like it was the case. We can always use remote assistance to get the log if you want. Let us know.

Let us know when you are available for remote assistance. Even tonight will be fine.

Also there is no need to wait anything more than about 20 seconds once it is clear Sierra Chart is frozen completely.

Version 1604 has now been released which resolves the problem described in this thread with the freezing of Sierra Chart when starting a replay with accurate trading system back test mode.



Here are the instructions to update:
Software Download: Fast Update

The problem was there was an endless loop occurring when checking the list of orders to remove completed orders. This is done in order to keep the order list small during a back test. When there were non-simulated orders in that list, is when the endless loop would occur.
