 hello tomasz, 
  
i don't use built-in price 
formulas, i have made some custom formulas. does this formula require all 
bars? 
  
_SECTION_BEGIN ("Price pair01a");
//MPT 
//PRICE for pair01a (Intraday) 
//General & Time 
#pragma  nocache
#include  <MPT Active Pairs.afl>

SetForeign (pair01a);
AvgVol= MA(V,5000);
pair01aiC= TimeFrameGetPrice("C",inDaily,-1);
RestorePriceArrays ();
SetForeign (pair01a,0);
y=(jahr- 1900)*10000;
m= 100*monat;
d=tag; 
time=y+m+d; 
//Close & Volume 
ydayclose= IIf(DateNum()>time,pair01aC,pair01aiC);

thank you for your

  Hello, 
    
  In addition to unchecking 
  "Force instant quote retrieval for all symbols" 
    
  box in File->Database 
  Settings-Configure, 
    
  Make also sure not to use old price chart formula 
  that was using LastValue() function (that causes all bars to be 
  required). 
  Instead use new price formula (without 
  LastValue), i.e: 
    
  SetChartOptions(0,chartShowArrows|chartShowDates);  _N(Title = StrFormat("{{NAME}} - {{INTERVAL}} {{DATE}} Open %g, Hi %g, Lo %g, Close 
  %g (%.1f%%) {{VALUES}}", O, H, L, C, SelectedValue( ROC( C, 1 ) ) 
  ));  Plot( 
  C, "Close", ParamColor("Color", colorBlack ), styleNoTitle | ParamStyle("Style") | GetPriceStyle() ); 
   
   Best 
  regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com

    Subject: [amibroker] IB RT + Foreign() 
    + 100% CPU Usage 
    
  
    hello group, 
    i recently ran into problems 
    with 100% CPU usage running amibroker RT with IB plugin. i wondered if 
    someone could share some technical insight as to the tech specs needed for 
    the type of trading i am doing. 
      
    here is the 
    scenario: 
    i run amibroker pro RT with the 
    latest IB plugin. i switch between various layouts, which usually have 6 
    different windows open. one of these windows is my "statistics" formula 
    which references about 20, sometimes up to 40 different tickers via 
    Foreign() statements. the formula in itself does not include heavy 
    calculating (i think), no Cum() or other stuff, just some basic %change and 
    loads of WriteIf() and AlertIf().  - still it eats up 100% CPU usage 
    all the time, quite apparently because of all those Foreign() 
    statements. 
      
    what type of machine would i 
    need to run this type of scenario? 
    my specs: AMD Athlon 1700+, 256 
    RAM, Win XP, ADSL 512/128, AB Pro RT with IB, 1min database, chart refresh 
    at 20sec 
    specs needed ?? 
      
    note that AB can actually do 
    this, my system does not hang up (for 6 and a half hours trading at 100% CPU 
    though) and i can trade the way i want to. but when switching between 
    layouts or alt-tabbing to another application, amibroker may take 5-20 
    secs. 
      
    so, what's the way? more 
    cpu? eSignal? is eSignal plugin less CPU-intensive? 
      
    thanks for any 
    insight, 
    dirk
