Strategy optimiser running extremely slow

New comment
 

Hi all.

I've had an EA developed which uses two time frames, ie a higher time frame requiring conditions be met, and a lower timeframe for execution.

The strategy tester, and even backtest is running extremely slow - 131 of 1280, in 9 hours - with the full test taking 89 hours. Even when running the cloud agents it is running slow - 46 results for $40. 

Does this sound normal, or could it be a code issue - and if it's the latter, what should I look for/do about it. 

I cannot code myself someone else had done this for me.


Thanks

It's a code issue. Your code is highly inefficient. It needs to be analysed and improved, but since you cannot code yourself, that is as much as can be stated.
