HI Jim,

Another PDF with this time my main trading PC. It has better SSD (+Optane) and is not a VM but is a Kaby Lake processor. You'll see that its speed is practically twice as fast as my laptop's core speed so unsurprisingly it handles OT much more quickly. I've also added an example of a multi-threading application called FAH (Folding @ Home) which soaks up any spare CPU cycles. This runs simultaneously with OT and does not steal anything from OT. OT cannot run faster than the values shown.

If you were to agree with my analysis I'd appreciate you extending this appreciation towards Ed to update the core OT application. In this and age we punters deserve at the very least a 64bit application not withstanding the evident merits of OT.

In the absence of OT core improvements I'd recommend that you run in "hot Strategy Finder" mode to get the top 5 systems for your stocks (this will take a long time for sure) and then work on the top 5 or so to improve matters. Luckily I generally manage to work through my 3 core profiles on one machine each day and am ready for the next day's open with a couple of hours to spare. Of course I really do worry that soon I'll have to make serious compromises in order to be ready for the open (luckily I'm an early riser). One obvious way to ensure fast enough processing is to stop adding Add-Ons as they will most likely penalise me.

Best Regards
