I'm wondering what folks experiences are with having trading automation running on one workspace, while a strategy optimization is running in another workspace. Horrible idea or no big deal? My i7 8600 maxes out all 12 logical CPU cores, as expected, during optimization. Even though the CPU is maxed, Windows is still able to manage the CPU utilization well enough that my computer is still totally usable elsewhere while the CPU is maxed during optimization. My concern is that Tradestation app itself might be too busy with the optimization to run automation reliably.
Ideally I would run optimization on a completely different computer than where automation is running, but Tradestation doesn't allow signing in from two computers at the same time.
