Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
6 weeks in a row on one of my VPS, for the batttle of the bots (NT up 24/7, 5 to 12 bots running, multiple data feed).
This is my own VPS infrastucture, where I have a dozen of nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) members using it, and I saw some VPS have not rebooted for nearly 6 months, but I don't know if they have restarted NT itself.
In general, 1GB memory is outside of the norm for a single strategy. You would need to dive into your strategy line by line to see what is consuming resources.
Are you experiencing this while using Market Replay?
I (and others) have seen NT memory usage increase more than you would expect (or prefer) when running Market Replay for multiple days. Last I read this is expected or normal behavior though very unfortunate. For me this is the only consistent "bug" (or design flaw) I've experienced with NT.
I'm not sure if this has been fixed in the latest version. I expect I'll find out soon.
This is not expected behavior when not using Market Replay so you may check your strategy as suggested.
I have a strategy running on Sams VPS and in the beginning I would restart NT once a month along with the VPS just for general maintenance.. Now I restart NT weekly. Reason being, I have had some re-connection issues on Sunday night before the market opens with my broker and Kinetick.
At home I have various test strategies running on one machine and market replay on another. The one running various test strategies has run for about 3 months without restarting NT. It should be noted that I did not have strategies running 24/7 for the full 3 months.
The market replay is more like once a week because it always crashes.
Just confirmed no memory bugs for me with the latest version of NT and Windows 7. I ran three separate weeks for ES 03-12 using Market Replay with one strategy under Control Center and one chart with several stock indicators.
The NinjaTrader.exe process never used more than 86MB.
