Optimal usage of SQ

4 replies

I have a question regarding “fastest” way to calculate strategies for custom projects.

I am currently running 3 custom projects at the same time. Each building 1k in the builder stage with 20 tasks in each project which is no problem (reserving one core for UI). Hardware is watercooled overclocked 5950X with 64GB ram.

But, is it better to focus on one project at the time?

From you experience, running 24/7, what is the best way to run SQ?

Hello,

you can watch the resource monitor. If a single project loads your CPU fully running other projects will likely split resources between all of them so you won’t get results faster likely

Hi,

great question, but I’m facing the exact opposite: I have 60 GB of RAM, but the utilization is a meager 2 GB. What am I doing wrong and how can I get SQX into full load mode so that it uses the available 60 GB?

Best,

Gerhard

And – yes: I did set the maximum memory to 60 GB in the configuration menu.

Hi,

try to use a larger population sizes and decimation coefficient for example. You can tune genetic options to utilize more RAM but the overall process efficiency will not differ that much. If the RAM is not needed it is not allocated. You need a lot of RAM only for certain tests and optimization

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
