E-Signal Crashing

[Chris747]

Hi Folks,
I've got a strange one for you...

We're generating Buy/Sell orders from our efs scripts to a dealing station through a DLL. Quite frequently we crash E-Signal and up pops the Crash Report window which we fill in and send off. Then we have the remaining pop-up that says...

"The instruction at 0x078c9c1 referenced memory at 0x061fa3fc. The memory could not be read."

This problem "seems" to happen when we are calling our DLL to place an order...problem is...it does NOT happen all the time. I'm running on new machines with plenty of ram and hd space. If I set 6 machines to run...guaranteed 2 or 3 of them will "crash" E-Signal within a few hours. Same script running on all machines...just different currency pairs.

When we do NOT receive the correct response back from the dealing station that the order was siccessful...we re-try 5 times. I thought perhaps that perhaps a new tic was coming in and if we were still trying to place our order that this was the problem. Switched to calculate only on close of candle...didn't make a difference.

Running on historical data - everything works fine so I suspect there is nothing wrong with our actual EFS script.

Any and all help would be appreciated!
Sincerely,
Chris

Chris:

I have run into the same issue on several occasions and, in every case, it was the DLL that was the culprit. Your order routing DLL is probably using sockets / tcp-ip and my guess is that it is not cleaning up after itself. I would start there if I were you.
