Hello,
Send the code to support. Lot of timeframeexpands does not tell too much. Lots
means hundreds or tens?
There should be no reason to put more than few timeframeexpand in the code. If
you need something from daily
timeframe - calculate everything you need in daily timeframe and then expand
the FINAL result ONCE.

Thanks Tomasz. I have no no loops. No complex indicators.
Just a lot of timeframe expands.
I will try the AFL timing and see. If I am unable to find out I will send it
to support.
I have no doubt that AFL is the fastest out there. I have been using
amibroker since 2004 and I love each and each every day of my experience with
it.
Its just that I am perplexed why the CPU would get bogged down like this.
Thanks again.
Will try the AFL timing you and Herman put together.
Cheers,Padhu

That's simple:
one of your formulas is very badly coded - and it eats the CPU.
Under normal circumstances the CPU floats in 8..20% use.
You need to use Tools->Preferences->Miscellaneous and check "Display chart
timing"
then watch the timings each chart is showing.
All built-in formulas execute well below 0.1 second and this should be your
target.
If any formula needs more than 0.5 sec to execute it is badly written and
it should not be used.
You must either rewrite it or send it to us and we will tell you what is
wrong.
But again: any formula that executes in more than 0.5 sec is NOT to be used
in real-time
and requires either rewrite or removal.

Folks:
Attached is the task manager output when Amibroker 4.90.5 is runnning.
It always spikes back and forth and stays very high near 90-100% . process
shows broker.exe spiking.
I have only 6 charts attached.
I have noticed this in the past when I had indicators attached to more
than 8 charts. Now I have only 6 six. Other than 1 , all other indicators are
all fairly simple...no looping etc..But uses timeframe expands from daily etc.
I have intel p4 2GHz cpu with 768MB ram.
anyone else seeing this?.
Thanks,Padhu
