Hey All,

I have tested this on a Vista and 7 box, both 8GB ram 64bit... so I know thats not the issue.

When I try to optimize my strategy with the hack, I do not get any results. If I put back the old .exe, I get results fine.

I have spent the last 24 hours, almost without interruption, trying to figure out why it won't work. Can any of you try an optimize and see if you get results? If I choose optimize, but leave all of my variables untouched... I do get a result, but as soon as I change a variable, boom, nothing.

Its definitely not data, I can backtest just fine... I can pull up charts, and like I said, if I replace the hack with the original, everything works fine.

Thanks for your input!

First guess would be the .exe doesn't match versions with the rest of the installed files. Are you sure they are both the same dot release? (6.5.1000.x)?

Mike

That is something I did not double check. I believe they are both .14, but Im going to check that. Thanks Mike!

THANK YOU MIKE!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea how I got those mixed up, but I apparently did.

Well, I can't get those 24 hours back, but I CAN move on now.

Hi guys,

I am testing the hack for version 6.5.1000.14, I am using 2.66Ghz quad core windows 7 64bit home premium with 8GB memory, it worked a for a while running some custom strategies on a ES 5000 volume chart with 3 days' data loaded, but now Ninjatrader.exe is using 25% of the CPU( 1 full core), and 2,894,928k(2.9G) memory and it's not responding.

Is there something wrong with my strategies(calculating on tick level as well), or is 2.9G the limit?

Thanks.

You have reached the limit of NT, with this hack, it's not your strategy's fault.
2.6 gb, it's not too bad, compared to the usual standard limit.

Thanks for your explanation sam028, I will try to avoid exceeding 2.6gb next time.

I hope NT 7 is better at memory handling.

Hey guys......... I want to thank you for posting this memory fix and thus solving the crashing problem I was having with NT on my new 64bit Quad Core i7 950.

Now if you could just make my NT7 Beta 6 behave and play nice I would REALLY be grateful. Oh well, maybe in a few months it will work.

You guys ROCK!

Richard

No, although you should skip Vista and upgrade to Seven.

Mike

fully agree with that conclusion,

there is another, no, there are two (Yoda says) solutions

with Vista and Win7 usage of "Turbo Memory", which requires, especially on laptops, a small card added to the motherboard with dedicated ram in either 2GB or 4GB variants

an example is here:
( Intel Turbo Memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and google search on "turbo memory module")

what you can do is "pin" the application to that dedicated memory area and watch it fly!

what it does is achieve almost parallel results to what virtualization does, and leaves most of the application memory resident in a dedicated space with lazy writes to the HDD's, thus not slowing down for i/o latency issues

hope that's as straight forward as it gets and helps

Kronie,

May I ask you 1 question, please
I saw below link and learnt that I have Ready Boost, but apart from that I need that "Turbo Memory" outside card, right ?
or I missing/messing something ?

Thank you.
Krgds,
Andrew

I saw that card designed specifically for Turbo Memory, on new laptop designs, and thought that it would be nice to have additional and specific 2GB/4GB memory available for applications that I specifically "pin" to it.

There also was and remains a product called SuperCache or something, I can't quite find anymore, which provided a similar solution.

Whether or not you need to purchase an additional module or not to use one of the PCI slots, or not, would depend on the motherboard and its capabilities.

I did so a search on google: "pinning applications to cache" and got some seriously good responses, perhaps that might help with your question.


ok, happy trading,
