yes TS is not that stable of a program, I find that it gets
loaded with tick data if the market has a super fast move. It's
also dependent on a lot of variables, how many charts and tick
stuff especially you have open. And of course ram and speed of your
computer, and the last time you rebooted TS. I find it's best to
reboot TS once a week, do it on the weekends for
convenience.

TS always hung for me when there was a super fast move. It is
not a 64 bit program. Customer service can help to optimize it
somewhat. only have a minimum of symbols open helps
yeah TS definitely doesn't handle very fast market selloffs
well, like other programs such as ninja. yeah don't call
those guys if you are competent techie guy, you'll be on hold
forever and they just tell you standard stuff, and many times you
get some fluckie tech who knows 1/2 what you do. I'd rather pull
teeth than call those guys
Again best to reboot once a week to clear out stuff. Too
many tick charts and even Renko charts will slow things down
because they are tick based. If you've done some backtesting
recently TS does not do a good job about cleaning memory out so
gets loaded with crap until you reboot. You can also delete your
cache files as sometimes a bug is in there. Also TS can get
corrupted from time to time, especially if your computer hard shuts
off while TS is open and can need reinstalled or have your last
backup installed to fix the bugs that were created. Best to always
make a backup from TS and keep that, will save your ass at times
from having to reinstall everything. I also stay on 9.5, as 10 was
just too buggy, however it's possible that they finally made
version 10 Stable as I've been off it for a year, but my stuff
works in 9.5 so I just stick with 9.5
Does anybody know why my

No issues with TS on my end - you may need a new set of gerbils (ie computer)
You can run a diagnostic with a TS rep and check to see what workspaces are impacting the most
