STT and Excel Issue

[JulianCohen]

No I have out on my Desktop

Kate I gave up tracking the MOC with STT…I think it wasn’t created to handle the sheer volume of trades. Maybe you can keep the trades on a spreadsheet and then work some sort of macros to get the info you need.

In my case I use RealTest for the MOC and a different API that tracks all the metrics so I don’t need to use STT to do it

For example, yesterday I loaded up STT with 63 trades from MOC strategy. The upload took about 20 minutes

Kate,
What kind of computer do you run. Only reason I ask is that I recently upgraded my laptop and now STT absolutely rips. I can upload 200 trades in about 3 minutes

Microsoft surface laptop 4. 32GB of ram, 1 TB hard drive.

What laptop did you get?

[Nick Radge]

89 trades today.

STT validation took 0.12s
Total time: 1m 28s

Sprinting!

I had 75 trades and for fun, tested it on 2x STT spreadsheets (each with the months trading results already input)

First STT took 35 minutes – there were other excel sheets open, so I shut them down
Second STT took about 3 minutes.

Hi Learned People,

It seems that I am following in your footsteps with the STT wanting to crash for reasons not known. I feel mine is a similar issue to what you have discussed already, running STT interacting with cloud storage is not good for it. 

Have you found a resolution? Do you still use STT?

Just when I thought I had it stable, by running solely from my PC hard drive, yesterday, it failed to fully open. It starts to open, I get to see the dashboard, and then boom, it shuts down. I will try once more to transfer data to a fresh version, keep it solely on my PC hard drive, and see how it goes. Certainly frustrating.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received. At least I know that others have had a similar issue, before I go back to XML Automation. 

Thanks,

Sean

Sean,
STT has been quite stable for a number of years now. Some of these prior post are several years old. 
STT doesn’t like when there are other sheets or Excel books open. Try closing any others. If you still have issues, you can submit a ticket.

Thanks Nick,

Yes, agree, I usually have other books open. I’ll run it only on my PC hard drive without other books open and see how it goes.

Cheers

Sean
