CPU consumption slide no longer works.
06 Nov 2023, 13:47

Hello.

 

After changing CPU of my PC to a 14900K, CPU Consumption slide on the Optimization doesn't seem to work. 

Even when set to 50%, the actual CPU utilization rises to nearly 100%. 

Does anyone else have the same situation? I would like to know the solution.

 

Thank you.

14900K

Hi,

I have a 14900K arriving tomorrow. 

I will let you know how I get on, if I experience this it would be an issue for me too.

Cheers for the heads up.

Edit: The PC is built and the slider seems to be working fine for me. The only issue im seeng is that when i backtest without visual mode enabled my cbots end instantly with no trades placed, if I enable visual mode they work fine, which i have not seen happen before.

Hi there,

You can share your cBot code and we can have a look.

Best regards,

Hi,

It does it with any cbot including the sample ones. It is only on my new machine. My laptop and old machine which has an i7 8700k work fine. If I tick the Visual mode box it works abolutely fine on the new machine but if I untick it, it waits a few seconds and then finishes. 

Also when an optimisation is run, I cant see the progress as they are running, the passes only show when complete but they place no trades. My new system specs are:

Processor: Intel i9 14900k

RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB

Motherboard: ASUS strix z790-F Gaming WIFI

Power Suppy: 1000W Corsair

GPU: NVIDEA RTX 2080ti (this was also in the old machine)

OS: Windows 11 Pro

It just seems odd that they run with visual mode enabled. I have a video of it doing this if needed.

The below example does what I described on my new machine:

Another thing I just noticed but not sure if it would make a difference is that my laptop has windows 11 home edition (this works fine). My old PC was windows 10 pro (this also worked fine) and this new machine is windows 11 Pro

Update: Managed to get it all working okay thanks to an older forum post. If anybody else has the same issue set the bots access rights to full access. For example change “[Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]” to [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)]

Im not sure if this is correct or what was causing the issue but it has worked for me so far.
