I have often run into this situation.


When trying to start a single I get in the Logbook

Same thing, the error occurs almost every time if not all cores are engaged for the strategy tester.
 

I don't know what was improved in the new version 2170, but it became much slower during genetic optimisation and all the 16GB of memory got clogged. Probably swapped everything out. Rolled back to 2093 - it eats more disk space, but has less memory and works faster.

I'm thinking, should I buy more memory or sit on the old version?)

Can you give me specific numbers? With examples from the logs.

How did you estimate the slowdown and memory consumption

Why was this agent disabled?

 

New build during genetic optimisation makes 104 passes and stops (I don't press stop, it stops by itself). Am I the only one having this problem?

Please show the tester logs
 
Already sorted it out. The problem was that when closing the terminal and then opening it again, a part of the user value of the text parameter was missing in the parameters. The previous version didn't have this cutoff, but that's no problem.

While working with the Tester, this happens without my direct involvement.

 

Error in the Tester when selecting "All history". The last day of history (< the current date) of the custom symbol does not fall into the test interval.

It turns out that if you set the whole history manually, there will be more days in a single run than in "Whole history" mode.
