How to skip logging orders to database file

[excelxp]

I would like to stop writing order logs into database, as its .sdf file keeps growing so fast. I need only execution trades to store in database for Trade Performance report. How can I customize what type of log to store in database?

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for your response. Database file causes many issues at my end when I run many strategies at the same times for a long period. When the .sdf file becomes bigger, then it's possible to hang up NT8 suddenly.

By limiting what types of logs to be stored to database as options, it will prevent database file to increase its size so fast, and update so frequently in SqlServerCe queries. It will store only transactions needed to display the Trade Performance report if we just want it.

Being able to turn Order/Execution logging in the db file on/off for specific Accounts (Sim particularly, but also others) would be helpful. My +1 please.

I also think that being able to Optimise the db file would be good. There are already options to Repair and Reset the db; another to optimise it would be useful too.

Thanks.
