I recently bought a new pc and installed Sierra on it. I moved all of my config files, Data folder and ACS_Source folder over. When I try to open a chartbook that was created on the old pc the program will begin to open charts and then crashes. The charts contain custom indicators that I wrote. On the old pc these work with no problems and I can open a new chart and apply the custom indicators with no issues on the new pc. Only trying to open pre-existing chartbooks from the old pc causes the crash. I need to be able to open these chartbooks because they have a lot of drawings that are copied between charts that I use in my current analysis. I have also tried rolling back the new install to the same version of SC that was on the old pc (1850) but the same thing happens. I am able to open old chartbooks that do not include these custom indicators without a crash.


Thanks

Run Sierra Chart in Safe Mode to see if that resolves the problem:

If it resolves it, the issue is with the custom studies.
