Why is the platform running slowly?

Modified on Tue, 3 Dec, 2024 at 7:09 PM

If you have many long-running charts open in MT4 and there is not enough available RAM on your device, this may cause the platform to run slowly. To improve the performance of the platform, you can reduce the amount of data displayed in each chart.

To solve the difficulty, you can follow few simple steps:

  1. Adjust the chart data volume:

    • Click ‘Tools’ in the top menu bar.

    • Select ‘Options’ window (or use the shortcut CTRL+O).

    • In the ‘Options’ window, set ‘Max bars in history’ and ‘Max bars in chart’ to smaller values.

  2. Restart MT4 from time to time: restarting the platform regularly can clear RAM and improve operating speed.

  3. Turn off unnecessary Intelligent Trading Systems: if there are EAs that are not in use, it is recommended to turn them off to reduce the system load.

By performing these steps you can improve the operating efficiency of the MT4 platform.
