Cap RAM Usage in MT5?

[49f89v]

When doing optimization backtests in MT5 it uses all of my available RAM and basically freezes my PC until the test is finished. Is it possible to set a cap/limit on the amount of RAM MT5 can use when doing a backtest either in windows or in MT5 itself?

Why limit RAM?

If you launch other processes during a BT you will lengthen the duration of the BT.

Yes. Don't run BT on too long periods if you're using a low-end computer
