CPU/Ram Consumption - Dashboard vs. several Charts

Hello,

I just have a question here which came long time ago into my mind.

So let's choose for better understanding a simple example:
Let's say I am using a simple cross of moving averages as an alert. I use this alert for around 20pairs or more . So at MT4 I open 20 charts.

Now my question is would it be less cpu/ram consumption if I am using a dashboard who keeps monitoring the 20pairs for the simple cross of moving averages?
The optimal case would be that it keeps monitoring and I open the chart manually once the alert is poppin up and the conditions are met.

I just mentioned a simple system now but of course there could be more complex systems - more indicators. Therefore open too many charts could led to some lagging which is definitely not what we want. So I wonder if using a dashboard instead could be more efficient for my computer.

I would be grateful if somebody can help me

Hello again,

can really nobody help me regarding this topic? It is really important to me.

if it was an issue for me i would test it out - have you tried to do so?

Well with my strategy I have open more then 20charts and it is really lagging now.
Putting MT4 it in ramdisk helps a lot but still its a heavy loss in experience and I can barely click anything.

That is why I am asking if a dashboard would help.
But to try it out I have to let it code which would cost something.
So I wanted to know in forward if a dashboard would be more efficient or not.

20 charts are no issue and must not cause any performance degration. Of course today your computer should always have a SSD, therefore a RAM disk should not change anything. If it indeed does it's an indication for your computer still running on an ancient physical disk.

If 20 charts lag a lot your real issue is definitely the coding of the indicators. A dashboard will improve it just a tiny little bit. The real performance boost for 20 charts with no lag will come from recoding your indicators. Badly coded indicators in a dashboard will be as slow as in the chart. So if you can't code you have to find somebody either way.
