All,

I would like to try and quickly clear this up. However, I must first ask Jim – has the size of the profile caused any issues or problems that would prompt the inquiry? If so please let us know so that we can look into resolving this.

Outside of this the profile database will contain information about symbols, focus list, configuration, symbol list enabled, trading periods times, and will also contain a temporary space for changes that have been made.

When your profile is open and data is flowing a few things will happen.

The data will modify the fields as required by the profile, it will also be saving all changes to the temporary space. This can get quite large even with only a few dozen stocks. In some extreme cases I have seen this get to many hundreds of Megs.

When you close the application OmniTrader will go through the Data Maintenance where it will repair and compact the databases. Doing this remove the temporary information that was stored. Outside of this temporary space there isn’t much more that is removed.

I hope this clears things up.
