Then this result:

//---

You have the first result on hot, the second on cold. Are you sure it's an HDD and not an SSD? 350 gigabyte broom? And too time coincides with my SSD (and the rest of the hardware is exactly the same).

I'll try it on the broom.

I made a symlink on HDD to the tester folder, nothing dramatically changed. Either the bottleneck is not in the tester folder, or the problem is not in the broom. tkc files are now on HDD

HDD is 500GB (logical drive C at ~150, D at ~350).

I try again with the same parameters, restarting the terminal:

So we have to find another bottleneck. Or another way.

Turn on your Bitlocker

 
Rashid Umarov:

Turn on your Bitlocker.

Nah, I'm not willing to make that kind of sacrifice.

 
Rashid Umarov:

Made the MACD SaMple from the delivery on your settings. And where does EURO in the balance come from, isn't that the point?

And the testing time is still much longer than yours.

Does BitLocker affect the calculation of Cloud Rating?

 
fxsaber:

Does BitLocker affect the calculation of the Cloud Rating?

The PR (Performance Rating) of an agent depends only on the processing power of the processor core on which it is running. This is described in the Payment section

What is the cost per unit of PR per unit of time?

The cost of work of a testing agent with PR=100 for an hour is set at 0.02 USD. One quantum is taken as a unit of work, which is defined as the work of an agent with PR=1 for 1 ms (1 millisecond). Thus, the cost per quantum is:

QuantPrice=0.02 USD/(100PR*3,600,000 ms)=5.55556E-11 [USD/(PR*ms)]

The table shows the cost of continuous operation for 1 hour and for 1 month of a single-core test agent with PR=100.

Interval QuantPrice, USD/(PR*ms) PR of agent
Time, ms Amount, USD
1 hour
 5.55556E-11 100
 3 600 000
 0.02
1 month
 5.55556E-11 100
 2 592 000 000 14.40

The optimal number of test agents is equal to the number of cores. If a computer has a processor with 4 cores, 4 agents will be installed by default, and accordingly the cost will be 4 times higher.
.

It is not recommended to set the number of agents higher than the number of cores. It will not increase your earnings, because in this case the PR of each installed agent will drop.

To protect against slow agents in the MQL5 Cloud Network, the time spent by an agent to perform a pass is compared with the time of other agents with the same PR on the same task. This allows you to immediately ban such "slow" agents and do not give them tasks.

So your agents (where 21 seconds test) would be banned?
