Hi,

 

I already informed Mark about this a while ago, but wanted to make it a official “bug”. When building on a large amount of data (7 pairs, 5M timeframe in my case), the /temp/orders folder in the StrateqyQuant directory gets filled up quickly. After a 40 minutes run, I am getting this:

            3444 File(s) 14.389.177.863 bytes
 
14GB of data in that directory. I´d suggest to use a more save-spacing methods to store these informations. Would that be possible? Otherwise I´ll need a 3TB drive after a few days of running 🙂
 
Thank you:)

hi geektrader,

very interesting.

 

How much Strategies are in the database?

All 3444 Strategies ? or less.

 

I think the tmp-Foulder is very importend if the SQ crashes, he need to restore his strategies

It seems to save a file for every generated strategy that has a positive profit, not just the ones in the database – not sure though. You see, now it´s 9043 files with 20GB and unfortunately my SQ has locked up after I returned to the computer.
 
Memory usage of the task is at 8GB (out of 12gb I allowed via commandline) and the window is just “grey” in the thumbnail-preview of the taskbar now. Also the CPU usage is at 0%. I can´t seem to to re-activate it. To bad 🙁 Seems like there are some bugs that need to be fixed in that relation.
 
Yes sure it needs to restore strategies from there. I am just asking to make these files a lower size, maybe GZIP them instead to save them in such a big format.

yes, we use temp folder to store strategies in disc in case of crashes and also to save operating  memory.

 

But the strategy format is not really size-efficient now, we’ll make it much more efficient in the new version, so it should solve this problem.
