OK here's the best I could do re creating a "bare minimum" RT profile.

Turned off everything I could find. Only Daily bars defined. No symbols loaded.

Program would not allow me to remove directories with strategies, templates, etc so I suppose those might have an impact, even though NONE are or have been used in the profile since its creation.

The size on my machine was 668KB after closing OT when the profile was first created. Then upon subsequent startup, it became 1280KB with OT alive, and when OT was shut down again after doing absolutely nothing, it held that larger size, and never returned to 668KB.

So, well over a million bytes to hold nothing at all.

I'd appreciate it if someone would download it and see how big it is on their machine, after Opening it, then immediatedly shutting down OT.

Since anyone else will have other stuff in strategies, etc folders than I do, if the file size changes that might indicate the .otp file holds that info or pointers to it, as Tom has suggested.

Thanks!
