I'm not sure what a ghost chart is. Ok, i opened the instance again at the weekend and the same result. What do you need me to sent to you and how do I do it? Regards |

What seems to be working for me is to save the instance with NOT using MDI tabs, then when I start up, i change this to YES, and the tabs appear.

I have a custom study that uses files in the background and when save at close, it saves some additional files(hidden) into the windows and chartbooks. If I don't watch this, there will be many additional files saved in the windows and chartbooks- so much so it causes a long time to open file and problems with the bottom tabs. Per Accept Server-Side Set Startup Files (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> Startup)- For some Sierra Chart accounts files may be automatically added to the Files to Open On Startup list. This happens when logging into Sierra Chart. |

For those who have a lot of charts and stumble across this thread, I came across a game changing setting in Sierra Chart: SUMMARY: Enable “Destroy Hidden Windows” • Go to Global Settings → General Settings → GUI • Check Destroy Chart Windows When Hidden This forces Sierra Chart to release GUI objects when a chartbook is minimized or switched away from DETAIL: I was struggling with Sierra Chart where everything seemed to take a long time. Then I noticed this in the log: Windows error code 1816: Not enough quota is available to process this command. I asked Copilot and it had me download Process Explorer for Windows and then add the USER Objects column to Process Explorer. Sierra Chart had 3000 to 4000 USER Objects. Copilot alerted me to the existence of that "Destroy Chart Windows When Hidden" checkbox. After enabling it and restarting SC, USER Objects is down to 1000 and all my performance problems are solved. |
