Can anyone help me with suggestions on where I may find a memory leak.

The EA is rock solid at a 4 Digit broker such as FXSol but when migrated to Alpari-US I am undergoing memory creep of about 100 Meg a day.

There are 6 simultaneous EA's running the exact same EA on 6 currency pairs.

the charts are only tracking 500 bars each to keep memory usage down.

Suggestions for investigation appreciated.

There is an external DLL passing 65 chars of csv data to the start().

I don't see how 4 to 5 digits will cause memory leak (but I have seen stranger things with computers over the past 40 years)

I suggest running with 4 digit broker again and checking - maybe it does leak, but not as much.

You see, a 5 digit broker will probably issue more than 10 times as many ticks as 4 digit broker, and I would expect at least 14.4 times as many. It could be that the '6 or 7 Meg a day' under 4 digits wasn't noticed
