Hey everyone, I am running a software program which apparently does not take advantage of multi-cores and multi-threads. The software program is "Metatrader 4". I use this to study and trade currencies. I am in the process of picking up a second computer system to run all my historical back testing on it. The historical data sits on my drive. I would like to know what should I be looking for in terms of CPU cores/threads when I do my research?
This situation is a little different than just saying it is not a multi-core/thread software program so don't concern yourself with this. The thing is, I run approximately 10 instances of the program at one time, testing various strategies. So there will be a large load on the programs, I just don't know how the cores/threads work in this type of situation. Do they dedicate/share resources to the multiple instances? How can I make a purchase that would maximize this type of computing scenario?
Thanks CH
