I am having a problem with mt4 running very slow of late.
Does anyone know if there is some kind of memory function that is storing charts which may be bogging the program down?
thanks

I have the same issue from time to time. I beleive there is some memory leak somewhere in the application. Usually restarting my PC solves the issue.

Also be aware that some of the indicators you use if you are not naked can cause some slowing done from time to time...

I remember reading a response to a similar question, and the answer there was to clear out all indicators from the folder other than just the ones you need to match any templates you use.
Back 'em up, of course, but there's nothing in my indi folder but the odd tool I sometimes add now and then. Don't ask me why, habit I suppose

As melpheos said running a lot of indicators can slow things down or running one badly written indicator or EA can really slow the platform down. You might also check how many bars are used in the history and charts. Take a look at this thread. Memory issues are often the problem. It is always possible something else on your computer is using a huge amount of memory and processor time. Take a look at the Windows Task Manager.

In fact, you dont have to remove the indicator from your expert/indicator folder but just remove them from your charts.

Use an empty profile with some charts without indicators on and see if you have the same issue.
