Currently my strategy does not run in competition and I cant fix this problem.

Tried again to restart and the same happens.
Also if I try start contest platform it says it is not able to start.
I loose time, the strategy is out of contest now. It must run.

Tried again today. Still not solved.
Tried also to start the contest platform to see the logs. I get errors:

Try to log using standard JForex Demo Login link:
https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/ ... emo_login/

Under "Portfolio" menu there is "Strategy Log" and check what is inside.

Thank you.
I get this:

Process ID : d508f599-383f-488c-9cb3-4c5c86265b19
Start time : 05.07.2011 10:06:49
Stop time : 06.07.2011 04:45:44
Stop reason : Max overload period exceeded : 60 seconds
Strategy name : PipsDetContest.java

It is true it is a quite complex strategy but
no idea why and what should I do. Support ?

Thank you.

It appears this forum has no any support help.

So maybe we must help each other...
Well from the log it seems you need to reduce CPU time utilization.
This problem may be also caused by bug in a platform, not necessarily by your code.
Open demo account and run strategy for a few days (from the log it seems that one or two would be enough).
Check if it runs OK by checking CPU time consumption (ordinary Task Manager Performance display would show if something goes wrong).
I guess you should experience the CPU over-utilization also in the demo account. Try to print out as much messages as possible about data you receive from history and intermediate calc. results.
If you find that your code is really using much CPU time, check what you can do. For example - move some part of the code that is unnecessarily evaluating each tick to onBar method.
If there is bug in a platform - report it and try to workaround.
Don't know what else to suggest - as your code is not public.
Wish you success in finding the problem.

It appears no any kind of Dukascopy support to make clear what's happen in my case.
I can only suspect that their servers which run our strategies are somekind of old expired x486 pc with 10mb hdd and 128 mb ram. what else could i say ?

Also, noted another problem:

I clicked 'Test' button 2 days ago. The flag gone to Pending.
Today, the flag still shows 'Pending' state.
That's frustrating.
