I am stress-testing a new strategy.
Currently, it uses a custom list of 70 individual securities, but in theory I could use it for as many names as would seem to work well with the strat.
On a daily basis, I am running two separate SIM accounts (SIM 101 and SIM 102) to optimize parameters of the strat. This equates to 140 simultaneously running scripts on 70 names. I had started with 210 (70x3), but it chewed through my CPU/Memory too quickly and caused frequent crashing so i dialed it back by one third.
My question(s): How hard can you push your NT strategies (if you do this), and what type of hardware specs/settings have made any difference for you?
I run:
Vista 64 Premium
8GB RAM
Intel quad core processor 3.0GHZ
and running the 140 scripts can use between 40-60% of my resources.
Again for those to whom this applies, what kind of hardware do you use, and how hard can you push your application performance.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
