project get slower and memory usage is quite larger than that of a new project
After running a backtest with 2–3 days of 5-minute data, the project becomes very sluggish — all operations slow down as if I were using an old computer, and sometimes it even freezes. A new project typically uses about 500MB of memory, but an older project grows to around 1.2GB. I’m not sure what’s causing this, but I suspect there might be a memory leak or some other performance optimization issue on your web platform.
For reference, my computer has 16GB of RAM, and I’ve never experienced such lag when backtesting data on TradingView.

Hi @Hendry . The more data loaded in the project, the more memory it will take at the moment. We are working in every update on optimizing the software.

maybe you need to replay 2-3 day’s 5min bar and draw some line or text, make some orders to see if you will get the same situation.

Hi @Hendry,
I'm truly sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you’ve had with our platform,
Here are a few steps that might help reduce the lag:
• Clear your browser cache
• Reduce the replay speed
• Minimize the number of indicators on the chart
After trying these steps, please let me know if the situation improves.
