Bulk optimization: Need cloud computing or powerful server

  • #1
  • First Post: Sep 28, 2010 6:36pm Sep 28, 2010 6:36pm
I am in the process of optimizing my EA for various different currencies and market sessions.
This is a very time consuming and computationally intensive process. I cannot optimize with more than a single instance of MT4 on my computer without drastically increasing the overall length of time.

I want to rent out some serious processing power for a month or so to crunch all these numbers. Does anyone know of anything like this? Perhaps some cloud computing network or anything of the sort?

I run a server here at home that doesn't do much at all. I could toss it up in a virtual machine on it and let it run.

Something like RackCloud might work for you. See http://www.rackspacecloud.com/cloud_...ervers/pricing You can rent a small windows instance for about $60/mo, which is enough to run a few Mt4 optimizations. Add more as you need them.

There is also Amazon ec2 http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ But they're more expensive then RackCloud.

How powerful is it?

According to RackCloud's website, 1 server with 4GB of RAM is $233.60 per month! Is this absurdly expensive or am I missing something? I can probably BUY a 4GB computer for that price.

Intel Core 2Duo 3.16Ghz each core.

More hard drive space than I'll ever know what to do with (2TB, raid 10).
Windows Server 2008 r2.
