Subject : RE: Seemingly-ridiculous file sizes

Jim:

Might I suggest that the file size (depending on the total number of symbols) is set considering the strategies you have available, the patterns you have available, the indicators you have available, the custom charts you have available, etc. creating a potential workspace (like say a spreadsheet) into which data might be "written". When OT closes down, Data Maintainance looks at what was actually used, discards the rest and "compacts" the file.

I hope that didn't sound too stupid, but that is how I might go about things, dimensioning a potential workspace and then filling it while in operation subsequently compacting the data (like a .zip file) finally for storage.

From all your activity on the websites I would conclude that you might have with all your projects a much more substantial file created than might the average user.
