Re: [amibroker] Unable to get Intelligent optimization with Vista, AmiBroker Email List Archive

TJ,

My statement of the problem was a bit misleading. I am only using CMAE in my code. I am not using Fred?s IO at all.. I don?t even have Fred?s IO on my computer. I was using the term IO to indicate the function of the built in CMAE engine which is called with: OptimizerSetEngine( "cmae" ); in the first line of code.

But the problem is that the CMAE engine runs like gangbusters using XP but the CMAE engine in my installation does not run on Vista. And that is using identical AB code in each case, and the identical AB 5.18.0.

So where is the culprit?

Thanks,

Grover Yowell

You simply use either CMAE (which is AB's built-in intelligent, non-exhaustive optimizer by itself)
OR
Fred's IO (external).

Not both. Never ever mix them or you will end up with totally unreliable results.
It's like trying to mount eight wheels to bicycle each going into different direction.
