WLP is crashing during startup this morning. It is set to open on a worksheet that has 10 windows open. There are 8 charts, a Quotes pane, and a Strategy Monitor. As WLP opens, the Strategy Monitor starts checking data and updating alerts. 8 strategies are being updated. At the first startup attempt, 4 strategies that apply to a 10 symbol dataset made it through updating. The remaining 4 strategies apply to a 200 symbol dataset. The program seems hung on trying to finish the updating on the 200 symbol datasets.

I have closed all other programs and restarted the computer. The problem was not fixed.

Should I reinstall the program? If so, will my datasets and workspaces be available when the program is re-installed? Is there a way to interrupt the Strategy Monitor's updating?

I don't believe my previous Gmail problem is relevant. I had cleared those settings and run WLP with no problems several times after clearing.

Thanks,

Sherm

Sherm,

That "seems" won't help troubleshooting. We need more than a description of what happens: the complete details to understand/reproduce. There's just way too many unknowns: which charts (providers, instruments, bar scales, data loading ranges, applied indicators and so on and so forth), which symbols in Quotes, which strategies in the SM on which instruments/DataSets and with which settings. Additionally, Strategy Monitor has a logging feature to dump events on a per strategy basis.

I recommend a step by step approach to determine the culprit. Do charts run if opened individually? Fine. Crash? Then they might have a 3rd party ChartStyle applied that has been uninstalled - just for example. Do quotes stream? Great. Then in the Strategy Monitor, start adding strategies one by one and note which causes you problems.

It's been on our FAQ probably since inception: I have a problem. Tried to reinstall Wealth-Lab, but it didn't help!

Eugene,

Isolated problem to be caused by one of four strategies in the Strategy Monitor. Problem fixed by removing and re-adding the strategy. This strategy caused no problem when processing a 10 symbol dataset but crashed on a 200 symbol (no common symbols) dataset.

Thanks,

Sherm
