Good Morning.
I hope you are all well.
Over the past 2 days or so, my SC has been taking a long time make small changes that normally occur within a second or 2 after clicking the mouse button.
An example of this is when I do the following. Chart>Chart settings> Profit/Loss Format List
Any changes I make, for example changing this from do not display to another other option, takes approx. 2 mins, during which time the charts freezes. The circle is spinning and the chart that I made the changes for is saying not responding. After 2 mins the changes are made and the chart becomes active again.
The same also occurs when I make any changes to any of my charts, i.e. the colour of the VWAP line for example.
I have checked my computer and all seems to be ok, I am also on the latest version of SC.
I was wondering if there is anything you could suggest to help with this.
Best wishes and have a great day
Chris

The one thing we will recommend is to use OpenGL if it is supported for your system and if you are not already using it. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Use OpenGL for Chart Graphics (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other)

Otherwise, everything else to check/do is covered in the documentation at the following link:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
