Maybe I didn't give it chance but I made what I believed to be two improved versions which I'm testing now. I have to wait for the simulated results since the algorithm can't be sped up very much.

I can't really use many more than about 8 days of data for performance reasons. Wink I should hopefully increase performance however. I also need to do more tests.

I wrote mine on a 4 year old laptop with 2GB RAM.  A few things I did to speed everything up is:

  • Take the trade data and save it to the HD (grabbing from server takes forever...)
  • Don't write anything to the interface.  Having to wait for the UI thread significantly increases processing time.
  • Pre-process as much of the data as possible.  So you don't have to re-calculate everything with each trial
