What is the recommended spec to run ArbMaker?

The more RAM the better. ArbMaker was coded for speed and avoids writing unnecessary raw data to its database for this reason. In beta testing a 6GB RAM Windows pc with a i7 processor will download price data from Yahoo! and compute them at a rate greater than 25 cointegration calculations per second over 3 year date ranges. Speed is also a function of the type and quality of the web connection and it is here bottlenecks tend to form. Once the results have been filtered and analysed users may then save what they want to the database.
