Ed said in our meeting last night that the limit is going to be increased today to 600 system-symbol pairs (it's not based on symbols alone). In other words, if you turn on the RTMs (about 25 systems), then the app can easily multiply that by the number of custom symbols (say you have 20 symbols with "create single" checked) and know, before it tries to do all those calculations, that it will be creating 20 x 25 = 500 new system-strategy pairs. The system can reasonably create about 600 pairs without timing out. I don't know if that will increase once it moves to a background process; the main advantage of that move will be that it will run, like PB/PW, even if you get logged out. Currently, when you use the Nirvana symbol lists, the system first filters based on volume to the top-x, thereby avoiding the time-out issue on those. It's only the custom lists (which can't be easily pre-filtered in this manner) that cause the timeout. BTW, there are already plans to allow selecting specific systems (rather than, say, all RTMs) in the programming queue. | |
