For the last few weeks on a daily basis and multiple times a day, I have had what appears to be BA freezing, or at least the markets price updates for anything from 2 seconds to 20 seconds, then the prices go bonkers (*as do the charts) trying to catch up. During this period the charts continue to populate but are flat lines.
Any suggestions where I can look to see what is causing the issue, as I doubt it is the API playing up as there would be a heck of a lot more comments in that thread if it was.
I am using BA Professional v 1.50, ( issue was also happening before I upgraded as I thought the upgrade may sort the problem)
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and sophos antivirus
The only programs open are BA, and an excel spreadsheet that is not linked to BA and the AV software.
BA or my pc at fault?
Right click the bottom bar and check task manager to see what is stressing your system. That may give you a clue. On one of my machines windows furiously pages the hard drive from time to time bombing performance. I'd start there to look for causes.
hmm - check your inbox (or spam folder) for a message from betfair (bdp). it sounds an awful lot like the symptoms that i experienced the 2 times that I got my account api access suspended. if you are using practice mode and especially if using polling, rather than streaming, then the bdp team are very active in this department!!
AV software is a notorious hog of resources. So I don't actually run any when trading.
here's a recording of what my setup was doing when the suspension issues were at play:

hope this at least allows you to remove this from your potential scenario list.

So today after much faffing about with windows 10, I traded in a new user profile with the absolute bear minimum required to run the pc, so no AV etc. and I still had the 2 to 20 second period where the markets where not being updated,
my thoughts are,
I have a hardware issue with the pc
I have a issue with the router/hub
there is an issue with the broadband supply
But how I dig into this to find out what / where the problem is I am stumped
