Running out of RAM

Hi,

I'm running a Windows 2012 Server VM with 4GB of ram and 2 processors.

If I run 3 instances of cAlgo at the same time, they eventually consume all the RAM and the hard faults increase until each instance of cAlgo stops responding.

Are there any tips for managing memory?

Hi Lars,

4 GB is very low for a Windows Server, I use 12 GB alone on my PC as I have charts open, but only 2 GB on my VM as I have 1 instance of cAlgo open with 4 robots running 5 instances each, so 20 instances running automated and I use just over 1 GB RAM.

Try not having the charts open in cAlgo, if you leave the screens maximized, the processor will be working drawing the screen and consuming RAM, so when you have finished fiddling with your settings, minimize all screens and see how much RAM is used with Task Manager.

Do you have 3 instances of cAlgo open as you have 3 accounts running?

Also I almost forgot, it helps to close cAlgo down and restart to reclaim memory, when you restart do not backtest or optimise, do all this on your local pc, just open cAlgo and start robots without charts, this will use the least memory.

I created a robot which periodically frees the excess memory.

Hi, yes 3 accounts running 3 algos each.

Why simply not use Wise Memory Optimizer (it's freeware) by Wise Cleaner? It's sitting in the tray and can be set up to clean up the memory periodically.
