Hopelessly confused by TDesk or Desky? Ask here.

Post by c1borg »

[quote="johanzon » Mon Feb 22, 2021 7:15 pm"]Hello guys, first of all, thank you tomele for this masterpiece. :hi:

So i was gonna start running my TDesk setup live the other day. And i ran into some issues.

The SuperSlope drone signals only work on a few pairs, the others are just a flat signal. And this only happens when i log into my live account, demo account it works just fine and gives the signals as it should.

EDIT: This problem only occurs on my vps, it works live when i set it up on my comp.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? is it something obvoius that im missing?

I've got a tdesk demo running where the lag (displayed on the top right 4549ms / 455tps) now seems to be affecting trade closures (I have many Empty4 demos running on my testing pc which is not helping)

I've limited the max bars on chart to 1000, - are there any other things I could do to reduce the lag. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

These are very extreme values. I have 4 terminals running on an average office PC and the usual values are 100 ms / 20 tps. 455 ticks per second per instrument is simply not plausible. Tell us more about your setup. Broker, traded instruments? What is the RefreshSeconds input of TDesk set to? How many charts are open with how many indicators? Etc.

hey tomele

thanks for your reply. Broker is global prime. refresh seconds of tdesk is set to 30 seconds. 28 charts open with currency pairs. The setup is r1ch4rd's hgi setup that was shared in the tdesk setups exchange thread. To see the indicators and chart, I've attached some screenshots.

Hm.

I have not the slightest idea how only 364 active indicators doing ridiculous 112 parallel HGI calculations plus TDesk and Desky could affect the performance of an average CPU so badly.

Cheers

I suspect it's because I have many other demos running on my main test rig. No worries, I'll try and think of a workaround, thanks for your time tomele

I'm not sure if you are aware that the only charts you actually need to be on your platform whilst it is running are the TDesk & Desky (with the drones attached) templates.
I only open the default template onto a pair if I want to check the history or what price is doing currently, I then close it once I'm done.

hey r1ch4rd

dang, I didn't know that (or I did at some point and now forgot) - thanks so much! I will shut down those charts, no doubt it's causing the excess lag on those demos

PS the new HGI 6SMA setup has done very well this week, as well as the older settings, thanks again

No worries Fella, glad to help. :hi:

Yep, me too. I'm up 4444 pips this week so far running 4 accounts with slightly different variations (all 20 pip TP per pair, 50 Global). :good:
