Test is really slow

[Luvaha]

Hello,

After I added this code my backtest got REALLY slow to the point where it crashes after a few months...

Any ideas on how to fix this.

void CloseAllTrades()
  {
   for(int i=PositionsTotal()-1; i>=0; i++)
     {
      int ticket = PositionGetTicket(i);
      trade.PositionClose(ticket);
     }
  }

void NewCandle()
  {
   if(AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_EQUITY)>AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE))
     {
      CloseAllTrades();
     }
  }

//This code is getting called in OnTick()

if(Latest_Close_Price != BarData[1].close)
     {
      Latest_Close_Price = BarData[1].close;
      NewCandle();
     }

Thanks to everyone

I'm not a coding master yet but I can say that the ticket value must be of "uint" type rather than "int";

also if "Latest_Close_Price" takes the value of candle close 0, on an every tick modeling, it will be different from candle close 1 almost every tick, and then execute the functions every time. You can use this condition instead :

static int LastBarsCount=0;

if(iBars(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT)>LastBarsCount)
 {
 LastBarsCount=iBars(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT);
 NewCandle();
 }

I changed it but it didn't work...

But still thanks

In the editor start the profiler: Debug => Profiling to find out where your code hangs..

I noticed that in your first function, you are incrementing with +1 while the continuing condition is i>=0, starting from a positive index, it's going to be a problem. You need decrementing by 1.

I tried that but it won't debug...

When I press Start profiling on history data it will always run a random indicator and not my ea...

Why is that?
