Time for a historical simulation

New comment
 


Hello everybody,

I wanted to inform everyone and get feedback on the backtesting topic.

Now with the latest updates the simulation has gotten super slow.

I went through a 4 year simulation, from 15 minutes to 1:45!   This using option "OHLC 1 minutes".

So now the simulation is impossible !!!

I don't know exactly which Bild from but unfortunately it is!


Could you let us know why you have slowed down the backtesting times so much?


Thanks you in advance

There is no slow down, fix your code.

If you want to argue you will need strong arguments and evidence.

I am testing 3.5 years using OHLC 1 minutes with a complex multisymbols EA, it takes 2 minutes 30 max (my computer is 3 years old) and this time is unchanged since early 2021.

 


Hi Alain


I don't judge the complexity of the code I just make a comparison.

In the past it was much faster up to 8 times faster, now it is very slow and this does not give the possibility to do anything more.

Hello everybody,


Well I found the problem!

If I leave the "Strategy tester visualization" window open, the time goes from 8 min to 1:45, which was not the case in previous builds.
Still it was a great relief.

Thank you
Manuele
