Perfectly played, now eyes on 3672

A close below 3657 gives 3612 and would put Wormy's longs seriously underwater.

Hi guys
I have hell of time with my MT4
When i open it terminal.exe take 50% of cpu usage and pc became slow and mt4 So Slow and sometime no responding
And when i disconnect the net all back to work fine
Any idea how solve this?

You're probably on indicator overload ... too many in the directory, let along too many attached to the chart can make MT4 do quirky things. And if they're not rogue from the start, they can become rogue. I know lots that will do this to my MT4 installs.

There's also something inefficient about when you start MT4 and it has to pull in all the data it's missing from the time it was disconnected from your broker ... it's more the norm that all my MT4 installs do this on multiple computers - something gets into the pipes that clogs the system. The below tips will probably help.

I would first make a copy of the entire directory (hopefully you're not on Vista, because it splits things up into 2 mirrored directories ... not sure if Win 7 does this).

First thing I would then do is rename the /expert directory temporarily and start MT4 - if it starts immediately, there's some indi that's hogging things, reading history files, etc ... I have this happen on too many of my MT4 installs (MT4 is terrible for performance longevity). Once you've renamed your /expert directory, you will get lots of error messages in the experts/journal tab as your templates & charts load, but you'll have to sort though that.

There's also a configuration.ini file in /profiles ... there's no data available on it, but it holds some sort of mishmash of indis attached to charts and other binary data re monitor, setups, etc ... they grow big but I think also gets messed up in some way ... I'd once deleted it, lost lots of chart data, but MT4 started instantly.

Your /logs folder can also be a huge impact, esp. if some indi or EA is writing useless data to a file - the files can get very big ... check them or chuck them.

Remember, you should also be able to bring back your copy/back up of the directory if you go too far.

But in the end, I would save your important charts as templates, back that up, and reinstall MT4. Like doing so for Windows periodically, it's the best solution I've found.

Egkid, 3 other things to keep in mind is deleting your history folders of your MT4 directory (move them to a subfolder), limiting your candles viewed/kept in history under options (you don't really need to keep 100,000 candles in your chart and have your indies calculate on all of them) and rightclicking on your marketwatch and select "hide all" so your MT4 does not keep calculating datafeed for currencies you are not actually looking at and thereby clogging up your RAM.

The higher the TF, the more solid. I just look at it as price, irrelevant of TF. TF's are just different representation of the same data.

change broker now or upgrade you system.. at least 4gb ram you need speed and promptness

I have the same problem man... Meta4 is too slow and accuracy on entries are being compromised.
4 months of Forex.. I trade cents only. Account is no more than £50.

Month 1 was a complete disaster
Month 2 it got better but still bad
Month 3 Reasonable improvement but still down.
Month 4 Way more cautious and not acting on revenge as I used to do. I tend to think more before I place a trade. I broke even in the 1st 2 weeks of this month, however I have a long... long way to go.


Thank for the ones who reply about my query, but if anyone can post a butterfly formation for me to see what it is it would be of a great help.

Babypips.com is good but when you need to ask a question I guess that FF is the place to ask.

I use HP Z600's with 32G RAM and dual Quad processors with dual NVDIA and have never had to worry about slow running PC's. I don't trust those liquid cooled ones, water and PC's don't mix in my opinion.

i have a sub and B. navitimer and I can't wear them when I'm at a computer... which is about 80% of my existence.

not mention... if you aren't using an auto winder the bitches quit working in a few days.

I am going to buy a hundred watches and send them to the posters here from the last few pages. You'd reckon that a trader could at least figure out what time it is and what time the exchanges close around the world. Maybe more here should take what FF spreads as gospel with a little more researched reasoning.
it does appear you have not yet had your morning whiskey with a splash of coke.
