A way to give MotiveWave more ram?

[JoshS]

hello!

I've been doing custom strategies using tick data and notice that the ram usage maxes out pretty fast after a bit of time.
Is there any way to increase this to utilize more of my PCs ram? or alternatively, is there any tactic for automatically clearing old labels/tick-bars on the chart to allow a strategy to run for long periods of time?

I'm seeing this as an issue with both replay backtesting (need to have >1ms delay on tick data or it locks up), and also the optimizer tool backtesting (optimizer return an empty report if I go too long of a period with tick data.) -- I have a core i-7 with 16GB ram.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there is any way to allow it to take more ram and hopefully mitigate this a bit.
Any thoughts/ideas welcome.

Cheers,
Josh

worth noting: I'm backtesting on Renko bars.
It just seems like in general that performance is really poor -- despite having a powerful PC. tried on a different computer with 32GB ram and a new, powerful processor. still slow when backtesting.

Oddly, if I replay through one bar at a time I don't lock up. but if I hit the full play-mode my performance really tanks.

Hey,

there is a startup option that you can check out. It might help.

I had no idea this existed! I'll give it a try, thank you!
