Hi there_

I am using custom indicators on my ea and the codes optimized very well but still backtesting slow. I am using 1 core 6 gb ram vps.  

I need more power computer ? how is mql5 vps ?

  1. EAs : Don't do per tick that you can do per bar, or on open.
    If you are waiting for a level, don't reevaluate, wait until price reaches it (or a new bar starts and you recalculate.)
    If you are waiting for an order to open or close, only look when OrdersTotal (or MT5 equivalent) has changed.

  2. Indicators: Code it properly so it only recomputes bar zero (after the initial run.)

  3. Or, reduce Tools → Options (control+O) → Charts → Max bars in chart to something reasonable (like 1K.)
