Severe memory leak / excessive RAM usage (10 GB+) in ATAS X Beta – version 8.0.14.602 and recent beta builds

I’m experiencing a major memory leak in ATAS X Beta (version 8.0.14.602 and at least the past two beta releases). The application’s RAM usage grows continuously during normal use, eventually exceeding 10 GB and causing the whole system to freeze or crash.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start ATAS X Beta with a clean workspace (just one chart, default settings).

2. Load a futures instrument (e.g., ES or NQ) with tick data and a volume footprint chart.

3. Leave the platform running for 2–3 hours while connected to live or simulated data feed.

4. Observe Task Manager – memory usage for ATAS X climbs steadily without dropping, even when idle.

Observed behavior:

• RAM usage starts around 1–2 GB and increases by ~500 MB per hour.

• After 4–6 hours, usage reaches 8–10 GB+.

• The leak occurs even with only one chart open and no custom indicators added.

• Restarting the app resets memory usage temporarily, but the leak resumes immediately afterward.

System details:

• ATAS X Beta version: 8.0.14.602 (also tested on 8.0.14.590)

• OS: Windows 11 Pro (24H2)

• RAM: 32 GB

• Data feed: [Rithmic / CQG / etc. – fill in yours]

• Chart: Footprint (tick: 500), 5 days of historical data

What I’ve tried (no success):

• Reducing chart history to 1 day

• Disabling all custom indicators

• Setting Windows virtual memory to system-managed

• Running ATAS X as administrator

• Reinstalling the beta cleanly

Expected behavior:

Memory usage should stabilize after initial data load, not grow indefinitely.

Request:

Please investigate this memory leak in the beta branch. Many users may not report it publicly, but at least one other user described identical symptoms (“RAM accumulation until everything freezes”). The issue makes the beta unusable for multi-hour trading sessions.

Workaround for now:

Force‑restart ATAS X every 2–3 hours – but this is not a real solution.

Thank you for looking into this.
