Can someone suggest what I may check or diagnosis to get a handle on and fix
for this problem.
I have used AB with my QuoteTracker feed for over a year now. Of course I
have some gaps in my data because QT and my source, Fidelity account, will
not permit backfills.
Suddenly, yesterday, AB is totally bogged down if I select 5 minute data.
When I start it up, it automatically comes up in hourly mode and is ok.
Switching pole positions for example is almost instantaneous. If I switch
to 15 min display, I get a noticeable delay, maybe 3 to 5 seconds for the
pole to appear. (I also have the Task Manager open and can watch broker.exe
jump to the top of CPU usage and then drop down. If I click on 5 min data,
CPU goes to 100%, Broker.exe is pegged at near 92 to 95% and it will take
literally 1 to 2 minutes to get the cursor back. Again, the day before
yesterday, everything worked fine.
What changed? Nothing that I know of. I was experimenting with a rather
long formula file (developed in EOD environment), and earlier versions
worked ok, but maybe this had something to do with the slowdown. I deleted
the formula from the RT database, and rebooted the computer.
What else can I try and what other data can I gather to diagnose this
problem?
Thanks.
