What should I do if MetaTrader is running slowly?

Modified on Tue, 3 Dec, 2024 at 10:18 PM

If MetaTrader is running slowly, there are few steps you can try to improve performance of the platform:

  1. Close unnecessary charts and indicators:keep your workspace simple and reduce the number of open charts and used indicators.

  2. Optimize chart timeframes:avoid using high time frame charts, especially long-term charts, without necessity.

  3. Limit historical data:reduce the amount of historical data loaded. Select Tools > Options, where you can set the amount of historical data.

  4. Update or reinstall software:make sure you are using the latest version of MetaTrader. If the problem persists, consider uninstalling and reinstalling it.

  5. Check network connection:an unstable network connection will cause the software to run slowly. Make sure the network connection is strong.

  6. Adjust computer settings:close other unnecessary programs to free up computer resources.

  7. Increase computer performance:if possible, consider upgrading your hardware, such as increasing the memory or using a faster SSD.

  8. Use a VPS:if you do high-frequency trading, consider using a virtual private server (VPS), which can improve stability and speed.
