Not enough money for cloud network

New comment
 
I put $20 into my account to try cloud services but when I went to try and optimize an EA using the cloud network it said '"not enough money" I thought $20 would be enough to get started. Is there a minimum needed?
 
There are different optinization methods so you should select about what is the suitable for you concering the speed and money/fund.

Metatrader5 Strategy Tester Limitations on the Cloud Network: how to fix?

Yes, wrong - it may be generic optimization as well.

Features of the MQL5 Cloud Network
  • The entire power of the MQL5 Cloud Network is used only for complete slow optimization.
  • During genetic optimization, only agents of one access point are used. It is connected with the specific features of the genetic algorithm.
  • The genetic optimization mode is automatically enabled when the total number of optimization steps exceeds 100 million.
  • MQL5 Cloud Network can be used in 64 bit systems only.
  • In addition to using the MQL5 Cloud Network, you can provide your CPU computing power in the network. To install the remote agents and include them into the network, use a special utility MetaTester.
  • Read more about the MQL5 Cloud Network on the official site.

So,  genetic optimization works with Cloud Network but all the power of the Cloud is used in case of slow optimization only.
It means - if you want to use all power of the Cloud so you will try slow optimization.
If you do not want to get all the power of the Cloud so you may use generic optimization for example.

I will "optimize" this optimization by parameters for small money so not a problem at all. You know - some strange with terms:

  • when i am making slow complete optimization - it is going very fast with more costs by money and with all cloud agents used
  • when I am making optimization as fast algorithm so it is going veery slowly with very little cost (just for few cents) with 1 agents of cloud using

So, in case of using Cloud: fast optimization is really slow one, and slow optimization is very fast but costs some money sorry. Some people are asking: why my optimization is very slow? Reply may be the following: "because you are making it in fast mod. Change the mode to slow and it will be really fast". And that is true.

Right, but how do I know what amount of money is adequate for the type of optimization I'm doing? I thought the cloud network would just run until the money was gone. Is that not correct?
