Backtesting eats up every space on the harddrive
03 Dec 2024, 18:05

Hello,

I have a strange problem using the latest version of Ctrader. After running a few backtests my harddrive is completely full. The space where all the data is stored seems to be at: This computer > Documents > cAlgo > Data > Cbots. Sometimes it gets bigger than 500gb.

Should it be like this? I usually have to remove the files after a while to free the storage. Can you change the settings in some kind of way to autoclear or not to store so much data?

Greetz!
I think it's because of Optimization you can remove Optimization folder.

Hi there,

This can happen if you print a lot of information in the log. These logs are stored and they take up space. Check your code for this.

Best regards,
