My experience with optimization run times is that they are affected by the following ...
- Length of data. While reduction of range in From / To dates will affect run times slightly, the actual length of the data stream of the symbols involved will have a much larger effect. - Numbers of symbols. Obviosuly run times will go up when using watchlists of symbols rather then single symbols but one place this may not be so obvious is that if there are multiple chart windows that are open this too ( for some unknown reason at least to me ) will also affect run time. If you think you are having memory related slow downs this should be easy enough to check by looking at Windows TaskMgr while optimization is running. --- In [email protected], James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have been doing an intraday analysis on 1 futures contract this morning. Everytime I started a run, it said there would be 306,000 steps. This would run in about 10 minutes. Then it starting slowing down dramatically, to the point I thought it had hung up. I changed 2 of the parameters to step by 2 intead of 1, but the 153,000 steps is now taking 30 minutes. It kind of seems like it is a RAM problem, but I've never had this happen before. I rebooted and that didn't help. Any idea what could be causing this sudden performance problem? > > James > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ ______________ > Food fight?
