Performance report trade list seems to be fixed. I remember previously the columns used to shift and there would be some trades replicated at the 200 trade mark ? if that's what you mean then it doesnt do that any more. 

 

Thanks for sending to me.  Looks like issue is fixed in Update 81.

I am using Windows 11, TS v10 (Update 84). The Trades List issue seems to be fixed. No misaligned data-fields after 200 trades when performance report is saved as an xlsx file.

Thanks!  Any other features of Update 84 do you like?

I haven't noticed any significant changes in features or performance from earlier TS updates (81 and above) or Windows 10 / 11 transition.

I was having major problems with TradeStation.  It was slow, lagging, the matrices were not cable of taking trade orders sometime.  Because I had heard and read so many terrible reports, the problem must be on the version that I was using.  Well, being a computer illiterate, I started to try and learn what was with this box I have on my desk.  The major problem was that I was using OneDrive to save and transfer files.  This is a big no no!!!  OneDrive was saving all my TrafdeStation Desktops and Workspaces.  I got rid of OneDrive  and it helped a bit more.  I was ready to go down to what Kevin is using.  It would be much work to do all the charts.  I read more about what might be causing this lag and crashing.  I did some research and found that I had many corrupt Desktops and Workspaces.  It's a lengthy process but not as lengthy as redoing everything as you would have to do to go back down to the Basic Version.  I look at all the charts that weren't loading properly and the Desktops that seemed to lag and deleted them.  The MultiWalk website has good directions to save Desktop and Workspace foolders, rename them, and save them.  I then deleted TradeStation completely and started it up again taking time to make sure I wasn't loading back corrupted charts, workspaces or desktops.  Since then, I have had no problems with crashing and everything has been running smoothly.  My Excel sheets are clean and in the correct format.  There are two things that I do regularly.  One, which Kevin suggests is to delete the cache.  I do this every weekend.  There is something else that I do quite often.  This is to clear the computer of junk.  I am using Version:  10.00.09.1405 Update 85
1.  Click on search and type %temp%.  When it opens delete everything.  A message will pop up for things that can't be deleted.  Just skip those because they are being used.
2.  Right click on Start, type Run and type in temp.  Do the same procedure as above.
3.  Click on C: Drive, Windows, Software Distribution and Download.  Delete the contents.
4   Right click Start, click Run and then type Prefetch and Enter.  Delete the files.  A message will pop-up, click skip
    and close the window,
5. Click on Search, type in Disk Clean Up.  Use as Adminastrator.  Follow directions to clean up disk.
6.  Click on File Explorer.  When it is open click on the three dots, options, and in the third box in the small window
     that opened up, click on clear. 
7.  Right click on Start and type wereset.  For those of you who play games and other things in Windows, this well
    clean up the cache in the Microstoft Store.
8.  Click on search and type in cmd and use as adminastrator.  Type in ipconfig /flushdns.
9.  Richt click on Start and type %localappdata%.  Scroll to the Nvidia folder, open GL Cache and delete all of the 
     files.
10.  Go back a step to the Nvidia Corperation folder.  If there is a folder called NV Cache, open it and delete the
      contents. 
11.  Go to C: Drive, find Program Data, Nvidia and delete everything there.  What's being used can't be deleted.
        Press Skip and close the folder. 
That should clean up much junk that has been accumulated.  Brittech has a video on cleaning up Windows 11.

I spent all of last Friday through Sunday (May 16–18, 2025) installing TradeStation Base 65 on my system, rebuilding my key charts, workspaces, and desktops. The goal was to resolve persistent crashing issues and the lag I had been experiencing with MultiOpt and other functions in the latest version of TradeStation.After getting everything up and running, I noticed improved stability overall—TradeStation seemed more solid. However, it did seem to run slower, especially when loading charts and using MultiOpt. That trade-off between stability and speed was noticeable, but manageable.I also encountered several differences from the newer version I was used to. The most significant change was the limited access to the File → Preferences → Performance settings, particularly the ability to assign CPU cores to various processes. This feature was only partially available in Base 65.With help from ChatGPT, I was able to optimize the available performance settings. Since then, I haven’t had a single crash. I also noticed some subtle changes in the Strategy Performance Report in this version (10.00.09.1409) that I actually prefer.Using further suggestions from ChatGPT, I found the optimal number of cores for MultiOpt, as well as the best network settings to match my high-speed internet. These adjustments have made a significant difference.I also came across an article by Art Collins, who recently upgraded from Version 9.5 to Version 10. He shared some valid criticisms of the latest release. Perhaps it’s time for TradeStation to take more input from advanced users like Art Collins, Kevin Davey, and others before pushing out what feels like a beta version to the public.For now, I’m satisfied with my current setup and configuration—it’s working.
