Help Optimizing My cBot

onpistetom

A number of observations regarding this CBOT, These relate to running on win11 using 14700 multi use, win10 using AMD 3700x 8 core dedicated machine. trying to run optimize on US30 and get the any useable results using Genetic or Matrix.
Win11 runs optimize in efficiency mode which I cannot seem to disable gave 1 completed run I think as the orange circle completing the drifting up the grey circle gets a small orange fleck and the optimize just stops? please explain the meaning of the circles.
After many non completions on win 11 I built an Win10 machine just to test this cbot. I tried all the variables and could not get the orange circle to complete using Genetic.
Trying matrix told me I would have to wait over 1000 days to get a result! Is this software supposed to be run on a supercomputer? Am I missing some PC optimization settings to get Matrix optimize to work without having to rent time on a quantum computer.

This sounds like you are doing something wrong, it should only take a few hours, start by reading up on how to optimise a normal cBot. https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-automate/articles/for-traders/how-to-optimize-a-cbot/

If you are still having difficulties, only optimise a few parameters at a time.

I had a similar problem with, yes - if I remember correctly, Aiedan's bots.... Apparently they are made in a specific way and take a ton of CPU time to optimise - to the point that I didn't buy or optimize them.

You could try downloading a different bot (e.g. one of the Neptune ones) and see if optimisation takes a reasonable amount of time instead of geological eras.
