Ahh! That does make sense. My primary concern was that some mined strategies were getting lost. But it sounds like this is not the case.

Thank you for clarifying!

It can "shrink" because of correlations.

For example, let's consider two strategies with similar but outside-the-correlation-threshold balance curves. Let's name them "A" and "B".
Let's the Generator create a new strategy ("C") with a balance curve shape between the two.

It is completely possible now to have A correlated with C and C correlated with B.
The Generator will first remove B (because it has the lower balance), and then remove C.

As a result, we will have 1 strategy remaining instead of the initial two.

Collection count changes during Reactor runs

Hello,
I am running multiple different Chrome instances to leverage all of my CPU cores. Each instance runs an identical set of Reactor settings.

I noticed recently that the number of strategies added to my collection seems to vary over time and I just observed it in real-time this morning.

For example, about an hour ago the collection counts across 5 Chrome instances were:
1, 5, 5, 3, 5

and now an hour later they have updated to:
1, 5, 5, 3, 4

I'm aware that in a given Chrome instance, the number of Collection strategies will be lower than the Ascended count due to the correlation filtering. This is all fine.

My concern is that I don't understand how a collection can grow and then shrink like this?

Is this a bug?
Happy to send any details you need.
Thank you
