MTQS,

I see that you have updated to 198, but the backtester is sooooo very slow now, even with my very fast computer. Any plans to fix that? Thanks.

Matt
 
Metaquotes,

- Thanks for the update. Will contest terminals be updated over this weekend?

- Does this update also fix the bug I recently reported where StrToTime() returns the previous date for a couple hours after midnight server time?

- Backtest doesn't seem slower to me, but perhaps Matt is experiencing the bug where the first expert backtested on a given pair and model will backtest extremely slow. That bug is still there, my appologies for forgetting to report it.
For anyone experiencing this bug, the workaround is to select your pair and model, start a backtest using another expert, cancel that backtest when some trades are listed on the results tab, and then select the expert you actually want to backtest. (Simply starting the same expert twice will not work.)
 
TR,

Thanks for the tip.
