Thanks for reply. I've tried creating charts using completely different data
and still cannot get past 135,000 bars or so without problems in the
strategy performance report. I've got four strings of data now, all distinct
from each other, and each will only allow between 134,000 and 137,000 bars
without encountering the problem described. So I suspect the error message
cannot be correct.
I am curious as to how many bars others have managed to chart, and which OS
they are using . I am using Win98 but I got a suggestion that win2000 would
be more stable.
135,000 bars equates to under 5 years of 5min OHLCV data. Surely I should
get more than this.
