You should add betting to this post)).

Looking forward to build 7!

We are targeting Build 7's release tomorrow, April 20!

Aahhh.... 420

Yes, Elon Musk is my mentor 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks for the 7-th update!

My dll strategies don't work (backtesting - all zeros in results) now). Is it only me? Maybe something wrong with settings on my side. Looks like I changed nothing).

Please take your time to read one of these insightful articles, then follow author's suggestions:

http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

Having finished that, please provide the information necessary for troubleshooting in a new topic (sample code and Strategy settings) since this one deals with the Strategy Monitor, not backtesting.

My test compiled strategy is working fine in a Strategy window ...

Ok, thanks Glitch, its my turn now).

Please, look at this Strategy Monitor log. Nothing changed for me (so the problem was somewhere else) - and it still doesn't let me enjoy perfomance improvement of build 7).


I use custom HDP, SDP and Broker Adapter, so the problem probably is located somwhere there.

Your DataSet has only 7 symbols? And it looks like the data provider is not updating all of them in a timely manner. GIGO as the old saying goes, if you test this with a provider like IQFeed which is very responsive and a DataSet like the Nasdaq 100 you’d see the difference. But based on the log the problem seems to lie in the latency of the data provider updating the data 🤷🏼‍♂️

To be more specific, I can tell from the log that the Alor provider updated the symbols several seconds apart. The SM can only act when the data update occurs. If Alor could implement a heartbeat to force an update shortly after every 1 minute interval I think you’d see a great boost in performance!

Yes, only 7 tickers.

Thanks! We will take a close look at your recommendations.

Here's what we're seeing with IQFeed. The only reason the S&P 500 has a symbol remaining is because I still have delisted symbol VAR in the DataSet. (It was replaced by PTC last week.)

This plays on a loop -
