Maximum number of instances in a robot
06 Nov 2013, 19:16

Dear cAlgo Developers!

I was happy when I saw the "Multi Symbol" is available in cAlgo. I wrote 7 Indicator and 1 Robot, that use the logic of Currency-Index.

It's cummulate the close price of the main currency pairs (AUD/USD, EUR/AUD, GBP/AUD, AUD/JPY, etc...)

With this, much easier to define the main direction of AUD. Based on this logic, I wrote the codes for all main currencies. (USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, etc...). So far everything is OK.

But! When I try to use my robot, I was not happy! Because 1 robot with 21 instances it seems too much for cAlgo! Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

I know that, You work a lot to optimize the software, but....

(I have 4 GB RAM, 80/20 Internet connection, and an Intel Core i5 proc.) It is not enough?

Apart from that I'm very satisfied with cAlgo!

So, my question... What is the maximum number of instances that I can add to a robot which will certainly still work?

Thanks in advance!

Of course! This was happend:

cAlgo not respond....13 minutes after the appearance of new candle, I got bored and I turned off cAlgo.

This program crash is occurs in 50%. So 5 times working perfectly and 5 times crashed out of 10 cases.

Please investigate it.

Thanks in advance!

One more question: Do you use separate threads or timers in your robots in indicators?

Can you please explain what means "separate threads or timers"?

Last night the robot worked perfectly, but a few minutes ago it crashed again... (however I switched off the notifications :-) )

Please help!!!

I'm running a VM - only 1 of 4 cores with 2gb ram - 2 broker platforms with 25+ instances running on each platform. Your PC isn't the issue.

Are you using onBar /Tick for data collection? check your cpu usage when you deploy your bots!
