NT7 memory consumption

[Laserdan]

Hey Dierk

I get out of memory exceptions when trying to create a continuous contract from ZenFire & Mirus

Just start from 4 contracts ago and try to merge into the next contract 3 contracts ago with tick data

then take everything 3 contracts ago and merge into 2 contracts ago

I have never been able to do a year without out of memory exception

Thanks Daniel. However continuous contract handling will be much simplified and very different in NT7. Thus you could not compare. We will provide details on NT7 continuous contract handling as we roll first beta.

That what I thought, so I didnt post it b4

I so look forward to NT7

Are there any eSignal users out there who have been keeping up their continuous ES ##.## symbol or others who maintain exported ES continuous contract data at the tick level for this stress test of NT7 memory consumption? If not, when I have more time, I'll have to splice what I can from backfill data from each separate contract. No need to backadjust for this excersize.

Thanks,

Whitmark

I have one year data of ES.##.##. Tell me how and where to send it.

I will try if you could provide an import file (e.g. on some download area, you could try Help->Mail to support+attachment). . . .

Thanks astra. I assume its one year of tick data vs just minute data? Export it via Historical Data > Export and then Zip it and send to support via Control Center Help > Mail to Support and add as an attachment. It may be too large to export, in which case you might have to export it in two chunks. Or the export file may be too large to email, in which case you have to use a free service like yousendit.com to get it to [email protected] and reference N7 Memory Consumption Test

Thanks again!

Guys, before you go through that exercise just double check the import format would be supported by NT

[whitmark]

Dierk, is it safe to assume if astra exports the data from NT6.5 it can be imported into NT7 or is there a complete change? If the later, how would you propose we assist to get ES data into NT7 for a larger period stress test?

Dierk,

I am sending you a .txt file. I used the Historical Data -> Export facility of NT as whitmark suggested. I hope is OK.

- historical data files exported by NT6.5 can be imported by NT7
- please make sure you zip the file since it would be huge. It would become a handling/upload nightmare if you didn't...

Too late.... is still uploading... I'll try to zip it now!

What is the size is the file once its zipped? I can't imagine a file of this size being uploaded in this manner. Give yousendit.com a shot, I believe its still free for transfers of up to 1 gb.

whitmark,

The size of the file is 215MB and the zip version is 15MB. Now I am trying to send it via a normal email (should be OK) but in the meantime I'll have a look to yousendit.com

Thanks again astra . . . looking forward to some more exciting results with this test.

Is done! Should be now with Dierk. Me too I am exited! From the info so far with new GO, Monte Carlo, allowing for future bar projection, SQL, and now speed improvements, looks like NT7 will be a fantastic platform. Thanks whitmark for the tips.

Unfortunately there only are a couple of weeks in that file. Sorry guys, but I can't denote any more time on dealing with file handling issues: Whitmark, please let me know as you have a file readily available. Thanks
