backtests running too slow

[nduru22]

hello people, I am running my expert advisor, with a couple of indicators helping me develop my entry strategy, but when i backtest it it is running too slowly...is there a way that I can be able to still backtest my advisor but abit faster?

thanks

1. Don't do things per tick that can be done once per bar. Don't do things per bar that don't need to be done but once.
2. Make sure your indicator is only updating the current bar by using IndicatorCounted() properly.
