DislikedActually I agree with the 16 gb but I was hoping that with a native windows laptop the memory usage would be less. With the macbook pro it certainly used most of my 16gb {quote}Ignored

DislikedPAnyone an idea regarding multi-core? Does MT4 scale over multiple cores (maybe using one core per chart or so). If it does it might be useful to know how many charts the topic starter wants to open in parallel.Ignored

DislikedHi Andrew, Interesting that you say you are running multiple offline charts - I have used several renko indicators but not found one that does not 'freeze' MT4. Any suggestions? GeorgeIgnored

Quoting jjc on MQL4Disliked"Does Meta Trader 4 support DUAL, QUAD or more CORES processors?"
The long answer is complex, but the best short answer is no. The only processor-intensive part of MT4 in normal usage is the strategy tester, and that is single-threaded and will not take advantage of multiple cores.
Processing of the start() function in EAs is done in per-EA threads, and should scale out nicely across multiple cores. (However, MT4's trading operations are single-threaded. Multiple EAs can run at the same time in terms of having their start() function called, but cannot trade at the same time. See https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/1412)
Processing of indicators is done in a single thread per chart (I think). Therefore, complex indicator calculations on multiple charts will be spread across multiple cores, but complex calculations from multiple indicators on the same chart will not see a performance gain from multiple cores.Ignored
