[MT4 High CPU & Memory Usage]

Hi Casey,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I've spent what seems to be hours/days trying to resolve this as explained earlier.

I thought I'd try a download from another provider - I did this and everything back to normal (just as you posted - Low CPU and Power Usage).

I've re-patched all my indicators and templates to this one and everything is fine.

I still haven't the foggiest what was causing it as it was a "clean" install and carried out all the usual key points concerning high CPU/Usage. (I've had MT4 running for about 4 years on my computa and have never had any issues like this). (***IG if you can suggest anything they would be welcome***)

Anyhow for the time being - I can't spend any more time on this.

Thanks again for your input.

Regards

Hugh

 

[INDICES ON MT4]

I haven't got my platform open at the moment..

From memory

But I think it's under VIEW (second one along the top bar )

Have a look down it and one of them will provide a link to adding other indicies etc

[MT4 High CPU & Memory Usage]

Hi - I wondered if there are any suggestions to the high CPU usage & high Memeory Usage of my current MT4 platform.

I have removed the old install - cleared all indicators and associated files.

Re-Installed up to date programme - added the few indicators I use (4).

Cleared the history. Reduced the number of bars in a chart.

Opened a simple chart no indicators.

Still getting high CPU usage & high Memeory Usage (Running WIN10)

Any suggestions welcome.

Thank you in advance.

[MT4 - So is there a way to change the base currency.]

Hi Casey,

Thank you for trying to help.

I'm using a demo version at the moment whilst I get used to the software- so maybe this is the reason. I'm not sure.

I've tried your suggestions but not had any success.

 

As it stands - on my Account History - if i make a gain of 14 points - this is entered into the profit column as 18.63.

Ratio 1.3307 - which is roughly cable conversion - hence my question.

 

What I shall do, is continue for a while and if I decide to use Metatrader properly ,  I'll contact IG tech dept to see if there is a resolution to this. I just wondered if there was something I was missing...

 

Thanks for taking the time though to post a reply ...much appreciated.

[MT4 - So is there a way to change the base currency.]

I'm kind of quite liking MT4 but still familarising myself with it.

One aspect I'm curious about:

Is it possible to alter the base currency from USD to GBP.

The Account History converts all results after converting to USD ( atleast I think this is what it's doing).

 

So is there a way to change the base currency.

 

Many thanks in advance.
