Hi folks, I'm still gettting crashes when running computationally intensive algorithms. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hard to tell what's going on without seeing the code. Every time I've gotten that message, I found a bug somewhere in the code.

so right now, i'm trying to write a crashing algo that is extremely simple.

my issue is that the same algo will run and crash at random times during the backtest, for example, at 22%, 50%, 91%, with no changes to the algo.

You might try sharing your code.

yeah, indeed. I'm trying to invoke an error first to be sure this one breaks.

I don't believe the problem is in toan tran code. In the last week I have been experiencing the same issue, even with algorithms that used to run properly. I believe they made some changes in the platform that resulted in this constant crash of many algorithms.

this one crashes.

I have an algo which is running live fine (and has for months) but I can no longer start a backtest of it. I am not sure if that is the same problem.

I'm guessing they've added something that is causing memory fragmentation. when I ran toan's code it crashed when it was trying to create the big pandas dataframe.

Simon, I've had a similar problem in the past. I think that at some point i accidentally pasted some white space character. this may be the case, or you may have erased 1 character from your code by accident.

So actually, I've had this crashing problem for as long as i can remember. If your algorithms uses machine learning or other computationally intensive processes, there is a much greater chance that it will crash at some intermittent point. It could still be due to memory frag, but I don't think it was a result of recent updates.
