Hi Sebastian,
It’s the computer. You need more computing power i.e. a more powerful computer. Assuming you are using Windows if your computer has an i5 processor use only one Reactor. If your computer has an i7 processor you can run three Reactors. Click on Task Manager>Performance and check the CPU and Memory usage. If the Memory is at at a very high level you might improve performance by adding more memory if your computer can handle that. If the CPU is running at very high levels then you need a more powerful microprocessor. I use a workstation desktop which I bought used. With my workstation I can run a lot of Reactors. I am collecting strategies everyday. Once every month I load all my strategies into EA Studio using the validator and then select the best ones to use for the next month. The alternative is to use ExpressGenerator but it is not easy to learn how to use and don’t recommend it until you have lots of experience with EA Studio.
To use the computer you have I would recommend letting the Reactor run for 23 hours, download the strategies, change the symbol, and repeat. Then do this for one month. Then load all the strategies into EA Studio using the Validator and then select the best performing strategies to save as EAs to trade the next month. The hardest thing to get through is the first month. From the second month onward you will have EAs trading while the computer is collecting new strategies. Also I would recommend using a demo account until you develop a profitable workflow.
