RC5 freezes at loading into retester

Databank in SQ4 is backed by files, so you don't need to worry about saving strategies and also so that memory can be freed if strategy is not used.

Bud even OS would have problem handling 12000 small files in one folder.

I think this usage is simply too extreme, what exactly is your reaosn for having that many strategies in databank?

I think 1-2000 strategies is maximum that makes sense. You should use advanced filtering to reject "bad" strategies automatically.

we need to move theses things up for RC6, its crucial

with the SQ 3.8.2 I am handle more than 25000 Strategies with no problem.

I think the Operating System can handle more than 50000 Strategies in one directory or more.

I found many exceptions in the logfile, I think this is problem in the SQ 4.0

I found: https://superuser.com/questions/446282/max-files-per-directory-on-ntfs-vol-vs-fat32

•NTFS ("New Technology File System")

◦Maximum number of files on disk: 4,294,967,295

◦Maximum number of files in a single folder: 4,294,967,295

For Stresstests I generate strategies with less filter cirteria. It will find more bugs in the sq. Bugs can be found best if 

I stress the system to the limit.

In the SQ 3.8.2 ,my strategy generation produces more than 25000 Strategies for EURUSD.

With same settings I got only 100 Strategies in different currency pairs.

We had to give up realtime synchronization with files, because although it could work it slows down everything 10x.
