Hi, you can individually try the indicators on the graph, to find what slows down, and then check in the code what is slowing down.

Thanks Pacois, I am not a coder though. I was wondering if there is any expert advisor or utility that shows information like the Task Manager in Windows, so that you can find the guilty indicator.

I tend to use the same indicator for 3 separate timeframes to see the periods where there is confluence with the higher timeframes. One indicator that I use a lot (and I suspect that might be causing the freezing) is the "Averages ribbon 3.1.ex4" for which there is no mq4 file shared.

The difficulty with the procedure you suggest is that the slowdown is not immediate, it takes hours, so there might be for example a memory buffer that gets filled up. When the slowdown occurs though, shutting down MT4 and restating it does not cure the problem, the slowdown persists.
