Hi, Tom:

Yes that makes sense. That's why, in creating the profiles, I started from scratch with all strategies and patters turned off, no charts viewed except for a default candles+volume simple one, etc.

Your description is EXACTLY what I would suspect. That's why I'm curious / wierded-out about 2-4Meg files that JUST have the simplest possible setup ... the only "special" thing is the number of symbols, and the specific dataperiod definitions.

Try it yourself, if you have time and curiosity about it. Build the smallest profile you possibly can, from scratch ... exit OT, and see how big it is (I have not done this, but I've come close). Then ask, "what are all those bytes holding, anyway?"

In fact, this could be a CONTEST. Build and post the SMALLEST RT PROFILE POSSIBLE, and win an oh-so-coveted OT-forum ATTABOY!
