Hi Mark
I have started to use SQX in the last week, since its commercial launch. My first task was to setup a SQX setting template as similar as possible to one I have previously used with SQ3.8.2. Then run SQX on one PC and SQ3.8.2 on another (very similar) PC for a similar period of time, to compare strategy creation count performance. My setup was as follows:
As you can see SQX was given a head-start over SQ3.8.2: slightly higher performance PC; 8-threads v 5-threads. Yet strategy creation count performance was far better with SQ3.8.2, than SQX.
Data symbol used: NZDUSD; M1; UTC+2DST; 2003.8.4 to 2018.10.19; timeframe H4
I realise that it is difficult to exactly match the same settings for both platforms, but I tried my best, including:
The only significant setup difference I am aware of, was:
Please see attached copy of both my SQX and SQ3.8.2 setting files. (Is this the 'Config' file you request? If not please confirm location and name of 'Config' file that you need)
Please can you look at these settings files and comment as to what may be the cause of the significant difference in performance I am currently seeing between SQX and SQ3.8.2? Is this the result of a bug in SQX, or an issue with my SQX settings?
Thanks

yes, you attached correct settings.
I'll be looking at it in the following days. So I'm marking this task as duplicate, the problem is in genetic evolution.
Try using Random generation instead for now, the performance of both version should be comparable.
