How to Fix Tradestation Lagging Issue
The Problem
If your TradeStation software is lagging, many of our customers have reported issues specifically with Bitdefender. BitDefender is an antivirus/internet security software developed by a Romanian company that apparently has a Java Virtual Memory conflict which prevents Tradestation from allocating memory that exceeds 768 MB of memory.
The Solution
Remove Bitdefender completely. Choose a more well known antivirus program such as Microsoft Essentials, Norton’s or McAfee.
Tech Note
Problems like this often ‘appear’ to be a computer problem when in fact they are not. To rule it out, close your trading application and see if you still have a problem with Tradestation lagging. Open any other program except your trading application or utilities used by your trading application.
Usually you will find that everything works fine until your trading application is opened. This means that if you only have an issue when the trading application is open, it is NOT the computer it is your application. If you are still having issues contact Tradestation directly to help troubleshoot.
