I've been trading with a small computer running Windows XP. The computer has only 256Mb memory and not a very fast processor (less than 1 GHz).

It worked fine with build 208. But now that we're at Build 210, the CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there, as reported by the Task Manager at the time I load one of my custom indicators. Some of the other indicators still attach to the chart and work OK. But this particular indicator, an MTF RSI, doesn't fully load and terminal.exe hangs up. I have to forcefully terminate it.

The same scenario works perfectly on my 3.1 GHz Pentium 4 machine with 512Mb of memory. But I want to trade with the little computer, which is dedicated for that purpose.

Would increasing the memory to 512Mb fix the problem, or is it just too slow?

I found the solution to this problem. My MTF RSI was calling for a custom RSI that wasn't there. This will always tie up your computer. When I provided it, it worked OK.




Any suggestions. Do I need to graduate to a more powerful machine?
