Still leaves the passnumber difference open.
The highest passnumber is the highest number in the list (70) whilst there are 129 passes (See Picture of a previous post)

No need just told the customer that the conversion & optimisation is not going to work on ctrader. So problem solved.

Even if same cbot with reduced CPU consumption runs faster?? Come on Panagiotis just investigate your side and you'll be surprised. It was just something to help you guys improve the platform but if you don't want any ideas in where the problem may origin, just forget the problem exist.

Hi Panagiotis

Sorry cant disclose cBot but it;'s a big one combining about 10 indicators.

The highest passnumber is the highest number in the list whilst there are 129 passes (See Picture below)

My assumption was that cTrader is overeating itself on Memory wgich casses mem swap activity.

To slow that down I set the CPU% consumption back to 50% instead of the standard  75% (thought that would give less parrallel threads)
Now I have 129 passes in 6 hours. Its still very slow but a big improvement. So I guess cTrader is adressing to much memory and forces the system to swap a lot.
By bringing down the CPU consumption the need to swap gets less causing the number of swaps to go down and therefor the speed to go up.
I don't know a lot about memmanagement but it seems to improve this way.
Hope it helps in getting a grip on the problem..

Ηι ctid711538,

I just asked for a sample cBot (not your actual cBot) and some information that would help us see exactly what you are seeing. As a software professional you should know that this a standard process in reporting defects and other issues so that misunderstandings are minimized. Even a screenshot would be helpful. After we make sure that we are reproducing the same behavior, we can tell you if this is a bug or an intended behavior.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

It being a 'a standard process in reporting defects and other issues ' does not make it a right processs in this case, nor it having any added value.

Asking for a screenshot of something that comes by evrey now and then in a flash is undoable.

Just ask your developers why the execute a drawtext in non-visual mode in stead of skipping all the draws and you're done.

Hi ctid711538,

Can you help us reproduce this problem? Maybe with a sample cBot and backtesting parameters and dates?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

As a professional software engineer i know it is not neccessaray to send cbot+parameter and dates to investigate this problem.
So please do not ask for things that are not needed!
Furthermore i cant send anything due to non-disclosure agreements.
With Pop-up i mean you can see the drawresults in a flash somewhere at the end of the backtest.
Now that should not be to difficult to trace if your software is well designed

Hi ctid711538,

Downloaded tick data is saved locally and only new data is downloaded each time.

OK What is the 'loading sumbols settings' message for when it's not for downloading data?

Hi Panagiotis,
Sorry i can't (non-disclosure agreement with my customers!)
But is happens on many cbots this was just 1 example.
